Discussion: Rand Paul: Obamacare Decision Turns 'The Rule Of Law... On Its Head'

Really?

Yep, he thinks we don’t notice that he never proposes anything.

Thank you, Rand, for cementing your place in lock-step with the GOP on anything that isn’t related to the Patriot Act.

OK then Randy, time to self-deport. May I suggest a small island where you can prove that libertarianism works?

My bet is on Perry…never underestimate the power of Texas stupidity.

Random hasn’t heard about Kynect, his state’s version of ACA. Dumb bastard.

I’d like to see Hucksterbee rail about ACA iin public as he goes into cardiac arrest from all that excess blubber he’s carrying.

Oh, to be in Mogadishu, now that summer is here! Libertarian Paradise.

He must not understand words… Wouldn’t over turning something voted into law, technically, be turning the rule of law on its head?

Don’t you just love the retrenchment and bunker mentality these rightwing nutjobs display when they really have nothing of substance to offer other than fucking hotair???

The list grows on the right by the minute.

Not hard to understand and I’m a bit baffled the Republicans are pounding this meme into the ground with such force. Weren’t they the law-and-order party? Part of me giggles at their antics here, but part of me is concerned that they are creating even more dumb dumb-asses who tend to sop up their gravy like hungry urchins who haven’t had a decent meal in days.

Well, it may well improve the prospects or at least the cred going forward of several hopefuls for the RNC nomination, among whom Randall Paul is certainly one. It allows him and at least several others to amp up their anti Obama/ACA/Dem/libtard rhetoric without fear or concern of it ever turning back onto them.

Republicans think that continuing to bash ACA will get them votes. All they are really doing is to spotlight the fact that all their screaming about the end of the world never panned out. No death squads and so on.

On the other hand… many poverty to middle class level republicans now have health care, are having pre-existed conditions now being covered, have less of a threat of being bankrupted by medical bills.

I hear what you’re saying, Randy.

I mean this is as crazy as letting someone with a C average into a prestigious medical school without an undergraduate degree; or making up your own professional certification agency because you’re either too cheap or too incompetent to pass the real one (or maybe just a bit of both).

Dark days, Randy; dark days indeed.

The only thing turned on its head is the dead puddle turned tits up on your head.

The court correctly read the law, as written and as intended. Nobody but the partisan loons with bad intent, to try and deliberately misinterpret and misread the law, and willfully ignore Congressional intent, thought that the law says the subsidies only apply to the Exchanges that States didn’t shirk what the law says they must do (set up exchanges).

Actually it doesn’t turn “the rule of law on its head” and didn’t that come across as a silly thing to say? A stupid thing to say? My Grandmother used to say when confronted with crap like that ‘consider the source’…so I did. It had to be silly…Rand Paul said it.

The rest of his post, the parts that aren’t silly are full blown lies.

Why do republicans hate the Heritage Foundation?

So, the Congress wrote and the Executive Branch implemented a law based upon its interpretation of the law’s meaning and the Supreme Court upheld that interpretation. Explain how that turns the rule of law on its head.

I love how all these non-lawyers (Huckabee, Bryant, and now Paul), are pontificating on the “rule of law” as if that means the law is only correct when they agree with it. As Josh points out on the front page, this challenge was always a long shot so long as the Supreme Court did not in fact turn the rule of law (and statutory interpretation) on its head.

This is fun. Wonder if Chris Wallace or O’Reilly will ask him what his “real solutions” are? You know Hannity won’t.
