And this comes back to the GOP’s strategy of not allowing a clean-up bill once they took the House, then using wording errors/omissions as the fuel for lawsuits.

Bannon’s uncontrollable and unapologetic nihilism is going to cause Trump some real trouble one of these days: the political version of the Joker as it were; everything burns.

The law, passed by Congress, says the payments must be made.

Eh, bullshit. From the article you link to:
The judge’s ruling, while a setback for the (Obama) administration, was put on hold immediately and stands a good chance of being overturned on appeal.
Are you saying that that ruling provides an adequate rationale to destroy the ACA, which in effect is what Trump´s EO nihilism would achieve?

Nailed the thread of my thinking on this. This man looks like he wants it all to cave. Anarchist party? He always has an edge of vendetta as well.
But yep, use him in any ad. Trump’s Jeremiah Wright.

That’s a great idea! Why don’t you make it! Seriously…
I bet there are TPMers around with the skills to help cut together something short. Any Final Cut wizards out there? Someone who knows how to edit together video for something like that?
The readers of this form oughta band together to draft some great copy, pull together a few clips, and drop our own ads on YouTube. Make our own damn YouTube channel. Make things good enough, maybe it goes viral.
Damn, this is good coffee.

It’s no surprise you are coming here repeating this claim as if it was gospel. Its the opinion of one republican judge, who broke precedent by even allowing the House to sue, and broke it again by ignoring that the ACA law requires that the HHS make these payments. Full fucking stop. By not making them, HHS is in direct violation of the actual written law.
So they absolutely have legal ground, the HHS will be in direct violation of the law to pay them. And not only grounds, they will almost assuredly win.

I continue to hold that he hates Ryan more because he’s physically fit, while Bannon is a colostomy bag of cirrhosis and syphilis wrapped in three layers of cheap shirts. The Evola hooey is just decoration.

President Barack Obama’s administration “overstepped the legal boundaries drawn by our Constitution” by making the payments.
The SC already decided they were constitutional.

Because while the fool in his heart says “there is no god,” the evangelist says, “and I’m going to get power and make money off it by pretending there is.”
Baal, Moloch, Dagon: these guys have nothing on the sheer diabolical nature of the evangelical god.

It is not going to be overturned because the DOJ has stated they will not defend the payments in Court. Except for the fact that the judge ruled against the Obama administration, the rest of the statement is pure conjecture by a biased reporter.
What I am saying is the House of Representatives sued the previous administration claiming that the bribes that were being paid to insurance companies were illegal due to the FACT that NO FUNDS were appropriated in order to make those payments and a Federal District Court ruled in favor of their position.
Of course there is an easy fix and that would be for the Congress to appropriate the funds and then the administration would have no choice but like the typical liberal you favor instead the Executive just doing whatever, as long as you agree with ends. Ends justifies the means, right?
So be it but this will allow individuals to be grouped into associations that have hundreds of thousands of individuals which is cheaper than buying insurance individually or do you disagree?
The money men who own the Republicans want their tax cuts. Until little Donnie strips, walks out on the White House lawn, and rapes a ten year old boy with thousands watching, the Republicans in Congress will not do anything to interfere in little Donnie’s adventures playing POTUS. Even then they will spend the next 3 years “investigating”

No the SC did not. These are not the subsidies that are used to reduce premiums. Those subsides were authorized by the ACA, these were not.
