AMPU - Obamacare and the Supremes
amperfectunion:
Latest article is up, called "Obamacare and the Supremes."
"There is literally no limit to the amount of control this law will allow government to exert over the individual. Everything you do can and will be regulated by the government. And…anything that happens to slip through the cracks of Obamacare can easily be snapped up by any other law Congress feels like passing that forces you to do or not do whatever they feel like. The precedent set by Obamacare is literally that intrusive and all-reaching."
Enjoy!

And this is from the LA Times article:
"Agreeing, Justice Anthony Kennedy said it would be an "extreme proposition" to allow the various insurance regulations to stand after the mandate was struck down."
This is huge. Kennedy was the only was I was worried about getting all mushy here at the end, but it looks the only "swing" vote on the court is going to vote with the four regular conservatives. I don't want to get my hopes up yet, but this is huge, and definitely encouraging.
Libertas:
Kill it! Kill it! Kill it!
(I too was worried about Kennedy, this is encouraging!)
And this -
But the court's conservatives said the law was passed as a package and must fall as a package.

Exactly...apparently, a fourth day of arguments tomorrow deals with the Medicaid expansion...but to me, that's merely academic, and a waste of time after today's news.

I don't trust Kennedy.
