1. •Happy Dance!• This is good news. Allow me to explain why....

First here's a link to the news: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-obamacare-court-ruling-20160512-snap-story.html

OK, they want to kill ACA, never gonna happen.

If they win this battle, it actually pressures us toward expanding Medicare to all citizens.

That's it in a nutshell.

Sucks to be Hillary.

Yay!

ETA: "Tell me again how Obamacare is a disaster"



20 million uninsured adults have gained health insurance because of the Affordable Care Act as of early 2016.

2. George W Bush judge strikes again

Also appointed by Roberts

3. So, not SCOTUS therefore not struck down

I'm sure it's a relief to the righties that they control the Supreme Court.

...What's that you say? DIED? 4-4? Well good thing they're working hard to replace him... What? Filibuster? WTF?




Karma's a BITCH.

4. Even if the court is still 4:4 this will probably go down

Obama was able to fill a lot of posts on the DC appeals court so that it's now pretty strongly Democratic. I think this decision gets knocked out on first appeal.
