Just this morning, it was announced the the SC has upheld the ACA for the umpteenth time in a 7-2 ruling that surprised most court watchers&#8230;and they rejected the suit from 20 repub state AG&#8217;s because they have no &#8220;standing&#8221; to even bring the suit that the trump judges in lower courts pushed up to the SC&#8230;.what that means is that there was no harm to the parties filing the suits so they can&#8217;t bring the suits&#8230;and the big repub argument was that they were harmed by the elimination of the individual mandate that people had to get insurance&#8230;.and since there was no longer any penalty, they couldn&#8217;t call it a tax anymore so the entire law had to be thrown out&#8230;yeah, sounds pretty convoluted to me, too, and the court felt the same to get to a 7-2 vote&#8230;even the unqualified judges whose seats that McConnell stole voted with the majority and I&#8217;ll bet that just pisses off moscow mitch. I do wonder how you get harmed by not having to pay a penalty? Without trump judges, this suit would have been thrown out the first time it was brought a couple of years back&#8230;and you can see that these idiots are not even judges&#8230;they are just partisans playing judges on tv&#8230;but it is going to take a while to get rid of them&#8230;geez&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well&#8230;yeah, running late again today with getting two rides in and going out to the beach to lie in the sun for an hour&#8230;and when I got back here, there was news that I wanted to talk about.
