This guy is what I term a knuckle dragger. He’s not aware that the essential ideas of Obamacare came from …wait for it… ahem… (cough) REPUBLICANS in the form of the Heritage Foundation and Romneycare. So it was formulated by rich old white men, using this guys fractured logic.

He saying anyone other that white aged men cannot write let alone think. I am now embarrassed to be over 65 and Caucasian. Tar and feathers are too good for this cretin.

Carvin actually cited Atticus Finch of “To Kill A Mocking Bird” as an
inspiration for his fight to overturn the law, according to the Journal
profile. Finch was the lawyer who defended a black man who was charged
with raping a white woman.
Because depriving millions of people of health insurance, in support of a reactionary political agenda, is exactly the thing that Atticus Finch, after having defended an innocent black man, would have done next.

Really? White women and minorities run the Heritage Foundation? Who knew?
Btw, maybe that forehead is just a giant brain tumor.

Oddly the original party of Lincoln was the progressive party at that time. The democrats then were the conservatives.

So in his mind, this was white women and minorities raping rich white men? Sounds like an accurate way to describe his and the GOP/Teatrolls’ mentalities and beliefs.

Oh, come on Michael Carvin, cut the crap - your real issue is that it is named after that Black guy

“There’s plenty of cases where [Supreme Court justices] take important issues even if there’s no circuit split — like the gay marriage cases, they might take those…If you’ve gone through that process and you don’t really care what [the Obama-appointed judges] think — because I’m not going to lose any Republican-appointed judges’ votes on the en banc — then I think the calculus would be, well let’s take it now and get it resolved.”
TL:DR version: “The GOPers on the SCOTUS are going to decide this based solely on politics.”

I’d sell my soul for a Democratic senator to get up on the floor of the Senate and read Carvin’s words verbatim, and then for another Democratic representative to read Carvin’s words verbatim on the floor of the House, and then for every fucking Democrat in Congress to assemble on the steps of the Capitol building while President Obama reads Carvin’s words verbatim. Film it all, turn it into an ad, and run it on every fucking TV station in the goddamn country.

Actually, correction…perhaps a more accurate way to look at it is he thinks that taking down the ACA is a way of defending the “wrongfully accused” rich white plutocrat men of having raped 40M women, children and minorities out of access to insurance and, by extension, access to even basic health care/medical treatment.
And, of course, that just highlights why even a conservative with a forehead that gigantic always manages to ANALOGY FAIL. Tom Robinson was actually innocent. You do the math.

Atticus Finch seems to serve the same role for lawyers that patriotism does for scoundrels outside the profession.

By this logic, Thomas only gets 3/5ths of a vote, and the 3 women on the SCOTUS don’t get any vote at all. You’re right. Scalia probably does love it.

Isn’t it odd that as his defense this lawyer would use “To Kill a Mocking Bird”? He complains that Obamacare was written by minorities and women yet as his defense he cites a book written by a woman.

Although also oddly, being the liberal party then meant being very frankly pro-big business and being the conservative party meant being the anti-corporatist party.
