A Legal Death-Blow To Obamacare?

So, looks like the Seventh Circuit is racist:

We hold that the plaintiffs — the business owners and their companies — may challenge the mandate. We further hold that compelling them to cover those services substantially burdens their religious-exercise rights. Under RFRA the government must justify the burden under the standard of strict scrutiny. So far it has not done so, and we doubt that it can.

We know that the administration will appeal this, and it seems pretty likely that SCOTUS will take it up. It also seems pretty likely that they’ll uphold the Seventh Circuit. So the real question is, given the lack of a severability clause, in doing so, will Roberts take the opportunity to rectify his screw up last year, and void the entire law?

he just sounds like a typical neo con who would prefer to send cheap chinese labor into space rather than waste money on returning white men to their families.
same type who wants more young americans to die for israel.

This is a sign of a broken brain.

BTW, fun fact. That picture of the book? It’s virtual, created by PJTV. It doesn’t yet exist in physical form, but it should next week, and it should look exactly like that.

It’s Not New York City That’s Broken

It’s its new mayor that is.

This is one of the many flaws of human nature that concerned the Founders: the inability to either know history, or learn from it. There’s a young generation that has no idea how bad things were in the days of Dinkins, or what Giuliani (and despite all his nannying, Bloomberg) did for them. Well, as Mencken said, they’re going to get what they want, good and hard.
