I would remind people that in the last USSC casing involving the ACA, Roberts did not say the ACA was Constitutional. In fact, he eluded to the fact that it is NOT Constitutional, but he rejected declaring it Un-Constitutional based on THE NUMBER OF AMERICANS THAT WOULD BE HURT IF IT WAS SUDDENLY RULED UN-CONSTITUTIONAL.
THIS goes against what USSC Justices are supposed to rule. They are to answer 1 question: Is it Constitutional or not?
Whether that finding makes life hard for anyone or not is NOT their concern. Ruling the ACA is Un-Constitutional, which should have been done, WILL make life suck a little more until a new health care plan is adopted, but BARRY and the Democrats are responsible for that. THEY are the ones who destroyed the existing system and forced the minority-supported ACA down the throats of the majority who opposed it.
Instead of ruling ti Un-Constitutional he voted with the Liberals and stated Congress / the President will have to strengthen their argument / case and RESUBMITT.
In doing so, Roberts ruled on emotion (concern/sympathy for the people, not based on the Constitution). He left the door open for another challenge in the future.
The Supreme Count is hesitate to make huge changes - even if the law's Constitutionality is in question.
It is part of their creed.
Roberts probably more than most
Barrett confirmed that stability can override Constitutionality yesterday.
