    Real people would be hurt and possibly die if the SC rules against Obamacare.

    "Loyal opposition," really? You don't hear that much in the States...

    Defined by Merriam-Webster as "a minority party especially in a legislative body whose opposition to the party in power is constructive, responsible, and bounded by loyalty to fundamental interests and principles <a well-fortified minority will tend to improve … legislative debate and can become a genuine loyal opposition — American State Legislatures>; specifically : the minority party in the British parliament —often used in the phrase His Majesty's loyal opposition"

    More often than not you can hear that term applied to dictatorial governments or monarchies that maintain the illusion of democratic (small d) choice for their citizens. I wouldn't call the GOP a "loyal opposition" to the Democrats as currently helmed by Obama. In fact, the term "loyal opposition" doesn't often appear in the American political vernacular.

    Translation: If the badly worded law by the constitutional scholar Obama and the Democratic Congress gets struck down as being unconstitutional, someone might have to stop taking money from the rest of us, work more hours to support herself and her mother.

    But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

    Pretty sure it wasn't the government working through neighbors that Jesus was alluding to.

    Nonsense argument as Christ did not say
    that the government could not work through
    neighbors.

    Real people will be left to die if the Obamacare is overturned.

    That is not what this thread is about. Please read the OP and stay on the subject.

    It's absolutely on topic. The premise throughout this thread has been "here's the harm if the Supreme Court rules against the ACA."

    So ultimately the question is exactly as was presented: Should the Supreme Court rule in favor of the law, or in favor of the ACA?

    Only a bunch of Baptists could be mad as hornets over poor people getting insurance that effectively doesn't cost the Baptist a noticeable amount of money coming from their pockets. Good thing God told us to store up riches that could... oh crap!

    Only a certain strip of Baptist, primarily those who call themselves Baptist but are Baptist only in name and not in theology. Many are really disciples of Paul and really like to ignore the teachings of Jesus about how we are to treat others.

    If the SC rules Obamacare unconstitutional upward to 8 to 10 million people will be denies medical insurance. Cancers, diabetes, and other terrible disease will go untreated.

    Those who hope Obamacare is ruled unconstitutional should volunteer to help at the free clinics that will have to reopen and see the suffering of people who are without insurance.

    Yeah, I forgot him.

    Anyway, everyone's dreaming if they think the republicans got any nerve to fight this.

    Still, Team Zero told the states to set up exchanges where subsidies could be calculated & requested, then said there would be no federal money for subsidies.

    Is it any wonder only 37 states told him to go jump in a a lake ?
