  1. States inherently regulate insurance and health laws. They can pass laws that conflict with Obamacare in their states if they think these are better. The DOJ then will sue to enforce the federal laws, claiming the supremacy of federal law. The issue then would be back to the courts as a lawsuit against the errant states and the states then would have absolute standing to defend themselves and as well as being able to assert as an affirmative defense the unconstitutionality of Obamacare.

  2. Those states should just declare that this Supreme Court decision has no standing in their respective states and do what they sued to do! Or they could simply declare their state to be a sanctuary state and therefore they are not obligated to cooperate with the feds!

  3. Thomas voted no on this as well, part of the 7. Without knowing anything more about this case I would say that at least some consideration should be given to the thought that perhaps another case would be better representative.

  4. Shock? Roberts has ruled this way 8 times since ‘012! Most liberal Chief in American history. Only Gorsuch’s first year did the majority of Court rulings not come out leftist/liberal!

    tyrants…which is the name for a collection of supreme court judges.

    much like a collection of penguins walking on land is called a waddle.

    or a collection of crows is called a murder.

  7. We had no standing in regards to a Presidential election that screwed us, no standing in mandating Obamacare. IMHO, if we have no standing then we’re no longer part of the Union, so SCOTUS can go jump off a cliff.

    We’ll do as we please and no more background checks to buy a gun, no more feds in our states, no more treaties with the tribes, no more federal income tax, no more welfare, no more food stamps, no more abortions, lots of positives to not be a part of this so called UNITED states.
