#1 How many times US courts ruled against some Obama admin. action? And how many times did this have any effect?

#2 The current regime has taken us well beyond the protection of the rule of law. Nothing will come of this.

#3 Once the case makes its way to to the Supreme Court, Roberts will once again find a way to twist the case into knots in order to uphold the law.

I really wonder what the administration has on him.

#4 The WH is briefing the Congress today I believe (Dems only). Appears a few may be falling off the wagon, pep talk and arm twisting time.

#5 The typical way for courts to dodge this sort of case is to claim lack of standing -- i.e. you are not the right person to bring this case. Of course if there winds up being no 'right person' well, that's not our problem now is it?

From that perspective, this is a significant milestone. The fact that the court is willing to hear this at all is a very big deal.

That said, the Hobby Lobby case will reach the SCT much sooner. Will be interesting to see how Roberts handles it. On the one hand, Hobby Lobby is almost certain to prevail. On the other hand, Roberts is not going to be eager to strike down the entire law and incur the combined and sustained wrath of a vicious, hateful and completely unhinged Left.

#6 "I really wonder what the administration has on him."

Me, too, Rambler. Whatever it is, I'll bet it's on tape. >:-(

#7 Yes, we have Roberts and esteemed colleagues to thank for this miserable klusterphuech referred to as the ACA.

#8 Roberts is not the paragon of rationality one would expect of a chief justice. What is bad for Obamacare is good for America.
