699: The Supreme Court resumes, perhaps warily. @AndrewCMcCarthy, @ThadMcCotter
Image: Mère Marie Jamet, Foundress, Little Sisters of the Poor Andrew C McCarthy, @AndrewCMcCarthy, Ball of Collusion; and Thaddeus McCotter, @ThadMcCotter, American Greatness, in re: The Supreme Court and Obamacare. It’s likely to be sustained by the new Court. It's not a policy issue before the Court; it’s legal matters, esp the doctrine of severability. Improbable that the Court would not find it severable; but they may not even get that far, may decide that red state plaintiffs don't have standing to sue because no financial penalty remains. Roberts vs Roberts: overreach by Congress to cite the Commerce Clause. Alito in 2012: “piece of a plane needed to let it fly.” Little Sisters of the Poor no longer threaten Obamacare.
