SCOTUS Health Care debate

Well that was a part of it, but it was broader than that.

Tell me if the Queen grants me knighthood I'm not really a knight?

Nor corporate personhood (no offense).

That's not the issue. The law passed in 1986 and it stands to this day. There's no more potential for abuse in the health insurance mandate than there is in the mandate to treat people even if they cannot pay for that treatment. Plain and simple. I am tired of paying for all these fcuking freeloaders that dump their health care cost onto me and my family. Freeloaders stiff responsible citizens and residents to the tune of tens of billions of dollars a year. Every year. Time they take some personal responsibility themselves. Else, I say, kick them to the curb. They show up at the ER w/o the ability to pay? Don't let the door kick them in the ####### on their way out.

It is the issue. SCOTUS upholds laws or not.

I heard Jeffrey Toobin predicting that the mandate would be upheld two days ago. After listening to the arguments he has sure changed his tune.

Toobin: Obama healthcare reform law 'in grave, grave trouble'

By Daniel Strauss - 03/27/12 12:20 PM ET

A top legal analyst predicted Tuesday that the Obama administration's healthcare reform legislation seemed likely to be struck down by the Supreme Court.

Jeffrey Toobin, a lawyer and legal analyst, who writes about legal topics for The New Yorker said the law looked to be in "trouble." He called it a "trainwreck for the Obama administration."

"This law looks like it's going to be struck down. I'm telling you, all of the predictions, including mine, that the justices would not have a problem with this law were wrong," Toobin said Tuesday on CNN. "I think this law is in grave, grave trouble."

Toobin's observation came on the second day of oral arguments at the Supreme Court over the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.

Earlier that day, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who could be the deciding vote on whether to uphold the law, told Solicitor General Donald Verrilli that there appeared to be a "very heavy burden of justification" on aspects of the law, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Toobin described Kennedy as "enormously skeptical" during the arguments Tuesday.

Wrong. SCOTUS never rules on the vast majority of laws passed. It is only when a law is challenged as being unconstitutional and brought to court, then appealed by the losing side at each step until it reaches and is accepted for review by SCOTUS.

The Solicitor General take a, for lack of a better word -- grilling. The lefty bloggersphere is losing it also.

It should fail. Obama should win the election, with huge coattails. Then, we should finally get Single Payer Healthcare. Then, pigs will fly, but one can always hope.

No facts. Please. This is P&R.

Obamacare will be killed before the 4th of July. Good riddance.
