Poor Scalia. So much anger and hate. And he wants it to lead to much suffering for others.

(52,511 posts)roberts has been on our side on the aca, but remember that the aca was always the market-based, conservative alternative (proposed by the heritage foundation) to more liberal healthcare reforms (single-payer, e.g.)
i'd simply say that his bias has been more "right-wing/conservative" than "republican".
forgive me if i don't celebrate this distinction.

(36,926 posts)And of course I wish a liberal justice were in his place. But, at least in terms of health care, he has proved his trustworthiness.

(52,511 posts)then again, i suppose it's progress that there were only 3 dissenting votes instead of 4....
seriously, at best this case was about trying to bring down an entire huge federal program on the basis of what was at worst a tiny drafting error. reasonable justices don't seize upon a drafting error and finalize their opinion then and there on that basis. in fact, it reduces legal analysis to a computer program that just crashes when the program isn't perfect.

(17,606 posts)they are the true definition of judicial activism - making laws fit what they want them to do, rather that what they way or the intent.
bad for democracy.

(17,606 posts)reveal that they are not being objective and that this is a personal crusade. Nothing about justice.
and they know they are untouchable and so can act like tyrants.
they are a big disgusting joke on us all.
