Supreme Court begins new term, will decide fate of Obamacare — and maybe the election

contesting the individual mandate, the provision requiring virtually all Americans to have health insurance or pay an income tax penalty.The Supreme Court first upheld Obamacare in 2012. The majority opinion written bysaid the provision was a legitimate exercise of Congress's taxing authority. But in 2017, the Republican-led Congress set the tax penalty at zero.

"It may exhort Americans to buy health insurance, but it does not command them to do anything," they said in asking the court to take the case. "The challengers to the statute have an uphill battle," said Roman Martinez, a Washington, D.C., appeals court lawyer."It seems fairly clear from the history that Congress wanted a toothless mandate coupled with the remaining provisions of the Affordable Care Act remaining in place."

In its lawsuit, the Catholic charity said endorsing same-sex couples as foster parents would violate its religious teachings about marriage. But lower federal courts said the city was acting properly to enforce its non-discrimination laws and that citing a religious belief does not excuse complying with civil rights laws.

The “less than Supreme Court”. Justice Roberts your so called legacy is being flushed down trump’s toilet.

addie_1122 Beware ACB. She believes in using religion as a legitimate basis for denying Americans who are “different,” their *guaranteed* individual Constitutional freedoms.

Is biden ever planning to answer if he plans to pack the Supreme court?

Obamacare is unconstitutional

Does the Supreme Court know how to count?

What's next the right to vote

Nobody believes that the ACA will stay with Amy Coney Barrett.

The lawsuit to overturn ACA was brought by Trump adm. Don’t be fooled by Trump’s tweet. His executive order has no effect. The point,aside PBO’s name attached is if Insurance Co don’t honor pre existing conditions, Ins Co make a ton of money&we’re screwed

👍SAVE the ACA Law.👍Trump CAN'T EO the Protection!👍LIES!👍👍Supreme Court hears the Case NOVEMBER 10th!👍GOP wants to KILL IT! CALL YOUR SENATOR!👍Pre-Existing Conditions protection will be ELIMINATED. MILLIONS LOSE their Health Care Insurance.👍RVAT👍

I can't wait until we finally have a supreme Court that will actually require the career politicians to actually legislate, rather than shoving every difficult issue up to the court to decide!

ACA needs to b tweaked! Religious Freedom is an important subject!

Stupidity of the American Voter

I just woke up and my Twitter timeline is all Donald Trump.. and I see videos of Trump touring the streets in a van.. was this Covid-19 thing just a dream or what? What's going on?

Obamacare failed all on its own..

The ACC was unconstitutional. It was about money. Not healthcare.

Fake news should be brought to the Supreme Court ...

FakeNews trying so hard to come up with something meaningful, but fails again.

Virus spreads on panel handling Supreme Court nominationTwo GOP members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have tested positive for the coronavirus. Both say they will quarantine for 10 days, ending just before Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett are to begin Oct. 12. 14 days quarantine period is to make sure you're not positive (ie not having the virus). Now if they already have the virus, they must be out indefinitely until tested negative 3 times again. GOPs again do whatever they want to do here. Aww perfect timing for these drunk drivers to get back in their cars and drive drunk again. Glad they are in charge of our future livelihoods. They make the best logical decisions based on truth, science and reality. Let’s keep term limits for life. I just love these monsters.
