‘The American people should make no mistake—a vote by any Senator for Judge Amy Coney Barrett is a vote to strike down the Affordable Care Act and eliminate protections for millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions.” So declared Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer last fall.
States and individual plaintiffs sought to hoist the Chief on his own logic by arguing that the penalty set at zero is no longer a tax. And since the mandate was essential to the law, they argued, ObamaCare must fall. Wethe plaintiffs that they were likely to lose. And sure enough, the majority declined even to reach the merits and held instead that the plaintiffs lacked Article III standing.
Justices Alito and Gorsuch argue that Texas and friends have standing because other ACA provisions burden them and are inextricably linked to the individual mandate. They say the Court is again pulling off “an improbable rescue” of the ACA. There’s no doubt the majority has rescued the Chief from wrangling with his faulty reasoning inJustice Clarence Thomas was persuaded by the dissent’s logic up to a point, noting its theory of standing “has some support in history and our case law.
opinion This is good. BUT to push her religious agenda on Americans is so against the US Constitution. As woman who had six children but was faced with termination of a pregnancy my rights my body my life is my choice! I do not want her religious agenda in my government.

opinion Too bad you can't believe a thing the editorial board writes in its Opinion pieces, seeing as they are blatantly partisan to the conservative side.
opinion I never thought I’d be attracted to a judge but ….
opinion Oh God no, they would never do that. Just ask Justice Alito.
opinion to the Lord God Almighty be the glory
opinion “Conservatives”[sic] justices don’t vote... because that isn’t what their job is. It’s to rule on cases. And they generally do rule based on their policy preferences. They have to maintain a veneer of impartiality though.
opinion Exactly. So there is no need to vote Republican 🖕
opinion Sadly, the left has decided to spin this saying their predictions influenced her vote on this. Quite a reach but hey…Dems are gonna do what Dems do.
opinion The Supreme Court is almost always political. Why is it we can guess with 90% accuracy how each judge will vote? Yes, there are exceptions but they are rare. You will need to retract your comments once an abortion case hits the court.
opinion I tire of the “conservative” and “liberal” labels tied to Supreme Court justices. “Originalism”, “loose constructionism” and other terms that describe a law-interpreting framework are more often on target than are adjectives that describe a political tendency.
opinion General rule of thumb for a judge’s ruling is don’t change the status quo unless there is a compelling reason to.
opinion I have a neighbor re-seeding his pasture. He could use a fresh load of horseshit and it appears you have plenty to spare. I will send you a DM with his address.
opinion One less justification for packing the Supreme Court.
opinion Obama care doesn’t allow for the states control over a woman’s body. Wait until they get ahold of abortions rights bills.
CybereVitas opinion Lololol did the board not read the opinions?
opinion Let’s see with abortion!
opinion Most of the GOP is deeply upset by this by the way. Just go back and see their statements about Obamacare.
opinion Nor should they
opinion I’m old enough to remember the lies the Dems and liberal media kept pushing about Justice Barrett being the end of Obama care!
opinion Conservative justices do vote based on their policy preferences. They support medical coverage for Americans😑
opinion It was true for Alito. He’s relentlessly and hypocritically partisan at all times.
opinion Thanks for weighing in, Rupert! Meanwhile, this very week the Supreme Court repealed the 14th amendment.
opinion Overturn ACA, Dems win in landslide in 2022, expand the number of justices - OR go along with something that was basically moot. Nobody is fooled here.
opinion She is a turncoat!
opinion But liberal ones do.
opinion this could be very strategic for ACB. Give one to the masses on something that is mildly important to you, and then when the big A case comes, vote your beliefs as you are supposed to do as a Catholic. Issue is for her, Obamacare has strong Catholic tenents.
opinion This is a factually incorrect tweet, she did not vote to uphold Obamacare. She voted to reject the case's standing. If the case had a legal standing, would she have still voted to uphold Obamacare? Highly unlikely, but neither and opinion, nor I know what she would do.
opinion They voted 'no standing' hardly a REAL decision. Why is conservative press working so hard to make her more liberal? think about it. This is pure disinformation with a pretty bow.
opinion Liberal Justices do. And they brag about it.
opinion Give her time WSJ. Give her time.
opinion The least a decent human being could have done now becomes a ‘lesson’ for Americans 😂 seriously America - where is your exceptionalism? 😏
opinion Laughing, remembering the democrats wailing and whining. LOL!
opinion Unless they are leftist.
opinion The plaintiff was no longer valid. Case was closed on a technicality. Who knows what will happen when it comes back with a valid plaintiff.
opinion The vote was 7-2 and this woman’s PR team are doing a great job making it about her judgement.
