We are living in a post Constitutional age. Thus the social contract is broken. Any rules of civility fly out the window.

With CSA flag going down, TPP going through, Patriot Act II going through, Obamacare being upheld, gay marriage being upheld, all in the same month... it feels like the game Mortal Kombat when your character is wobbling and the screen says "FINISH HIM!"

How fitting Obama is attending a funeral tomorrow. More than just people died this month.

The real Constitutional issue is Congressional power to enact such a law to begin with. That issue was dismissed out of hand. Congress can do whatever it wants. The rest of the Obamacare challenges have been tweaking around the edges and a waste of time.

And we lost the disparate impact case, too. This is a dark day.

Watching the left cheer on corporate cronyism is pretty ironic though.

Justice Antonin Scalia...

Perhaps the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will attain the enduring status of the Social Security Act or the Taft-Hartley Act; perhaps not. But this Court’s two decisions on the Act will surely be remembered through the years. The somersaults of statutory interpretation they have performed ("penalty” means tax, "further [Medicaid] payments to the State” means only incremental Medicaid payments to the State, "established by the State”means not established by the State) will be cited by litigants endlessly, to the confusion of honest jurisprudence.And the cases will publish forever the discouraging truth that the Supreme Court of the United States favors some laws over others, and is prepared to do whatever it takesto uphold and assist its favorites.
I dissent. - SCALIA, J., dissenting

About what I figured .

This is called bipartisanship. I guess the liberal judges will return the favor by ensuring whatever unconstitutional shenanigans that accompany the new trade deals would be deemed constitutional. This is why I am not really passionate about politics anymore, its one step forward and 3 steps backwards, addition by subtraction.

 

[AuH20]

Why do SC judges only move leftward and never to the right? Like throughout modern history? I sense a conspiracy of some type.

Vote for a Republican President to make sure they can put a conservative on the Supreme Court they said...

Druglord Bush pulled a complete headfake on us by pulling away the inexperienced Harriett Myers and replacing her with this viper Roberts.

More............Words mean nothing in the empire of lies.

Scalia added, “Words no longer have meaning if an Exchange that is not established by a State is ‘established by the State.’ It is hard to come up with a clearer way to limit tax credits to state Exchanges than to use the words ‘established by the State.’ And it is hard to come up with a reason to include the words ‘by the State’ other than the purpose of limiting credits to state Exchanges."

Obama has to have something-past misconduct/bribe, sexual scandal, could be anything but he has all the signs of someone being blackmailed. just as he has to have something on Hillary.

 

[phill4paul]

Let's vote him out. It can be done...if we vote harder!

at this point, I find it all rather amusing.

Actually he replaced Harriet Myers with Alito. If the conservative base hadn't made an uproar about the Harriet Myers nomination, we likely would've ended up with two awful Supreme Court nominees from Bush.

Ok. Thanks for correction.
