SCOTUS is a joke.
How can they interpret what is clearly written differently?

* When dud you graduate from law school?

* Cult members will take issue with anything that does not align with their way of thinking.

* Why are millions of Americans NOT fleeing Obamacare? It's not perfect, but Trump ran on " replacing it" yet after 4 years he could not come up with anything resembling a plan of any sort.

* Trump threw a lot of red meat around and hooked the cult members big time.
For instance he wanted to get rid of the Iran deal & asked the allies to come back to the bargaining table - They wanted nothing of the kind, they felt they had put in enough time & effort on the original deal.

* May this be a listen to future * if any Republican Presidents. Just because you nominate conservative judges to the Scotus- do not assume they do not have brains & the ability to interpret law.

* The Scotus handed 45 his lunch.

* Both Putin & lil Kim played this fool like we a violin.

"When dud you graduate from law school?" and "Cult members will take issue with anything that does not align with their way of thinking."

Nobody needs a law degree to read and understand Article III of the Constitution, but I can understand this confusions because the breitbart report is very misleading. What they called a technicality is having legal standing by showing they were harmed.

Texas and 17 other Republican states argued they were harmed by the income tax penalty known as the individual mandate that was eliminated by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Basically they were trying to argue the people were harmed by a non-existent individual mandate.

The court said they had no legal standing to sue because they could not show that the law harmed them.

Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 with a provision eliminating the individual mandate into law. Maybe Texas and the other 17 states didn't get the memo and didn't know they were arguing they harmed by something that no longer exists.

About the same as saying you were harmed by the 18th Amendment because it says you can't buy intoxicating beverages anywhere in the U.S.

Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all the territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.

Section 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

The Amendment was ratified on January 16, 1919. Don't know if it applies to MAGA Kool-Aid or not.
