Chief Justice Roberts is going to save ObamaCare one more time

"He (Roberts) sat passively for most of the rapid-fire questioning and made only one inquiry of real substance, near the end of Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr.’s presentation."

“If you’re right — if you’re right about Chevron, that would indicate that a subsequent administration could change that interpretation?” Roberts asked. 

Roberts’s question was referring to “Chevron deference,” a doctrine mostly unknown beyond the halls of the Capitol and the corridors of the Supreme Court. It refers to a 1984 decision, Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., and it is one of the most widely cited cases in law.

Boiled down, it says that when a law is ambiguous, judges should defer to the agency designated to implement it so long as the agency’s decision is reasonable. (read more)

I received a tweet from an observant follower this morning. @thetrueoorah said "There is no greater threat to your life and liberty than a government that does not obey the law."

Not only did the democrats write a bad law, they wrote it poorly. Now having convinced everyone that "congress is broken", that they can't go back and fix it thru the proscribed constitutional process, they are just going to keep driving on the rims, as it where, and hope it will all work out.

People, we are taking too many shortcuts on the way to wherever our final destination may be.

Another Delay?: "ObamaCare's Secret Mandate Exemption"

"ObamaCare's implementers continue to roam the battlefield and shoot their own wounded, and the latest casualty is the core of the Affordable Care Act—the individual mandate. To wit, last week the Administration quietly excused millions of people from the requirement to purchase health insurance or else pay a tax penalty."

"This latest political reconstruction has received zero media notice, and the Health and Human Services Department didn't think the details were worth discussing in a conference call, press materials or fact sheet. Instead, the mandate suspension was buried in an unrelated rule that was meant to preserve some health plans that don't comply with ObamaCare benefit and redistribution mandates. Our sources only noticed the change this week." READ MORE

 

I don't know what to say about the ObamaCare delays anymore. Other than repeat Hillary Clinton's pearl of wisdom; At this point, what difference does it make?

One more law re-write, by a constitutionally equivocal branch, is not going to kill anybody, is it?

What's one more for the road?
 

'Rand Paul wants Chief Justice Roberts to enroll in Obamacare'

"Arguing federal workers should not get special treatment, Rand Paul says he does not want taxpayers subsidizing the personal health care plans of any federal employee — including Chief Justice John Roberts — anymore."

“My amendment says basically that everybody including Justice Roberts — who seems to be such a fan of Obamacare — gets it too,” Paul told TheDC by phone on Sunday from Mackinac Island in Michigan, where he won a straw poll of potential Republican candidates for president in 2016.
“See, right now, Justice Roberts is still continuing to have federal employee health insurance subsidized by the taxpayer,” Paul said. “And if he likes Obamacare so much, I’m going to give him an amendment that gives Obamacare to Justice Roberts.”

Roberts famously voted to uphold the constitutionality of Obama’s unpopular health care law when it went before the Supreme Court last year."
