He clearly thinks judges should follow their beliefs, rather than the law. What could possibly go wrong?

ODS is strong in this one. I couldn’t help noticing the use of “Obama appointees” or “Obama judges” throughout his spiel. It seems his entire argument is vacate the District Court ruling because it was made by Obama appointees not real judges.

Didnt scotus and the plaintiff lawyer’s friend of court filing in NFIB v Sebelius already accept the view that all exchanges get subsidies?

Why not cripple ebola, climate change, pollution, tax inversion/evasion, terrorists, poor education… etc?
Why cripple something intended to help people?

Shorter Carvin : If I can only get it to the 5 Republican appointed hacks on the Supreme Court, they will do my bidding. Whatever Democratic appointed judges ruled is irrelevant. This is what the Courts have become…totally partisan operations. This country has become a joke.

“…I don’t know that four justices… are going to give much of a damn about what a bunch of Obama appointees… think…”
There’s man’s law. Then God’s law. Then there’s the whim of conservatives, which is the highest law.

Republicans are indisputably the party of suing to take away your health insurance, but I don’t see enough of this fact reflected in Democrats’ campaign ads.

What Carvin fails to disclose (and ,sadly, this article gives him a pass on it) is that he would never have gotten his goofy, one-of-a-kind ruling in the DC Circuit Court if he hadn’t drawn two Bush- appointed Judges (41 and 43) on his three judge panel.
The problem with being a political litigator is that your case is not won or lost in Court but on the filing day when your panel is selected.
Still, this US Supreme Court is clearly the most partisan political Court we’ve had in decades and a majority is fully capable of ignoring the law, the facts, and precedent, to invent rulings for their cronies.
Bush v Gore comes to mind.

The SCOTUS upheld this law, which included the subsidies. If they succeed, which I doubt, how are they going to explain the loss of their healthcare to over 7 million people?

He’s an asshole? Just spitballing.

Why hasn’t he mention the court that up held the law the same day the two political hacks who’s ruling is now being challenge by the full court
Well, Maxi, how about this. From a Teabag Congressman: “Today, I am pleased to announce that we’ve taken away your health care policy. It is no longer in force. My fellow Patriots and I worked hard to pull this benefit away from you. You can thank us on election day.”

My first response as well. What exactly prompts a person to want to cripple something beneficial? I mean, other than petty, small-minded animosity . . .

They’ll blame it on Obama and Democrats for writing the law the way they did. And much of the electorate will probably buy it.

So many millions of people are being helped by this law, it just makes me sad that extreme partisans are trying to take away that help. If the Republicans had offered a decent alternative to the ACA that met those needs, we’d be having a different discussion. Oh wait…they did offer what is essentially the ACA back in the 1990s. Only their Obama Derangement Syndrome prevents them from admitting that and working with the President and Democrats to fix the little glitches in the law. How about thinking first about the health care needs of your fellow citizens, for a change?

Because nothing gives a Republican more joy than hurting “those takers”…

I’ve got family members who refuse to buy health insurance because they hate the black man in the White House. Their bigotry trumps their needs.

No mystery here. This is what the “conservative” movement has come to.
