Lucy#39, That’s what we thought when they took the original case against the ACA. Since they allowed it to go forward then, I don’t see them reversing themselves now that it’s up and running.

There is a case in Indiana that will find its way to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals at some point. Take a look at the makeup of that appeals court. There are more REAGAN-APPOINTED justices than justices appointed by Democratic presidents combined.

I have long thought that the D.C circuit would reverse this panel decision, but the reality is, THIS SCOTUS will hear this case…and I don’t think it will end well our side, the ACA and its subsidies.

We can call it a typo, but SCOTUS will tell our side to have congress change the law…and it won’t be able to if the creeps maintain their hold on the House.

Mathew#37, Yes. I think I commented on this blog about it. I think I speculated that it might have been a back room deal to get Roberts on the mandate.

It was a ridiculous decision BTW.

Thanks Kate#36. Poor memory. So it was 7 to 2.

Matthew#35, The Medicaid issue was joined by Kagan and Breyer, not Ginsburg.
