#1 The fix is in. This needs to go to the Supremes.

#2 This needs to go to the Supremes.

Or to the Sopranos.

#3 The Supremes already fucked the pooch once.

Don't hold much hope of them actually following the constitution this time either.

#4 They've admitted that the subsidies violate the letter of the law, but that doesn't matter, because they don't violate what the law should have said. Words mean what they want them to mean and change meaning whenever they change what they want. When is a tax a tax?

#5 This will most likely go to SCOTUS. It is hard to say what they will do. Elections have consequences.

#6 This most likely will NOT go to Scotus. The appeals court in Richmond sided with the administration. The DC appeals court, after the en banc hearing, also will side with the administration. There is no circuit split and therefore Scotus will decline to review.

#7 They will drag this out until Eric Holder is on the Supreme Court.

#8 Even if it reaches the Supremes, they don't have the cojones to strike down the entire law, or even a major piece of it.

I really think Obama has something on Roberts.

#9 I don't know Steve there are still 2 more lawsuits winding their way through the legal system regarding this issue

#10 They do indeed have something on Roberts: his children.

He and his lovely wife adopted their two lovely blue eyed, blonde-haired children of Irish ancestry. In Guatemala.

#11 I agree the administration must have Roberts by the short and curlies somehow. His sudden switch in May 2012 just can't be explained any other way.

But, so, Roberts and his wife may have broken applicable adoption law. Like many adoptive parents do. So what? Not exactly a capital offense. Not seeing how it could be used to force him to resign. Am I missing something?

#12 The supremes were for and against slavery while the country made up its mind, rarely or never is the court in front.
