He says:<br /><br /><i>Imagine when the first articles come out recounting the story of someone who lost their insurance due to the SCOTUS ruling and then died because they couldn't afford their diabetes or cancer treatment.</i><br /><br />I can imagine that. The story will say that Democrats blame Republicans and SCOTUS while Republicans says it's all Obama's fault. <br /><br /><br /><i>Imagine when every single Democrat who had any hand at all in authoring the law says the Court is completely wrong about what the law meant.</i><br /><br />I can imagine that as well. Every single Republican will say that the Court is completely right. The press will give these claims equal weight.<br /><br /><br /><i>Imagine when every single Democrat runs against the Court.</i><br /><br />I can imagine that, but I can't imagine it swaying any votes.<br /><br />The political press would never allow a SCOTUS reversal to be portrayed as an overreach. Sure, they'll quote some Dems who say it is, but they'll also quote GOPers who say it isn't and leave it at that. Plus, since it's a "win" for the GOP, the press will report on it that way. Far more reporting will be based on the "win" and on transcribing lawmakers' reactions than on the effects it will have or the legal basis for the reversal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-22650654360116150042014-07-23T11:41:27.673-04:002014-07-23T11:41:27.673-04:00Based on the prior Supreme Court rulings, it does ...Based on the prior Supreme Court rulings, it does not look good for the ACA. <br />On the brighter side. If people lose their medical coverage even GOP members. This should shock and awe the voting populace into a massive turnout to vote out all GOP members.Take something away and you pay at the polls.Raymond Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414122272640069517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-4224711040200904032014-07-23T08:29:51.864-04:002014-07-23T08:29:51.864-04:00Your two posts make a compelling case that ObamaCa...Your two posts make a compelling case that ObamaCare is in its death throes. Your argument hinges, however, on the premise that Anthony Kennedy is that mean & ideologically hidebound. I'm not sure he is. There's a good chance we'll find out.<br /><br />Marie Burnsmarieburnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551898556011521804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-51745281002790141582014-07-23T07:49:58.632-04:002014-07-23T07:49:58.632-04:00Robert's put in that Medicaid poison-pill, now...Robert's put in that Medicaid poison-pill, now it'll be beyond interesting to see what he does with it.<br /><br />That sociopath allowed the states to decide whether or not they'll take Federal Medicaid money - allowing who knows how many millions of people to be denied health care coverage.<br /><br />As a proud Catholic, I hope he requests being buried in a flame-proof suit - because he's going to need it.<br /><br /><br />Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.com
