Fed appeals court panel says most Obamacare subsidies illegal

How 'bout the fact that the amendment is specifically stated in the context of a militia?

So what? Militia members were formed into a local militia from the local population. They had to bring their own guns, and took them home when the militia was disbanded.
 
We might as well elect federal judges now, like they do in West Virginia. They couldn't be anymore intellectually corrupt.

Would be a good change. However, it would require a change to the Constitution (which there is a process for).
 
No, it means that those who abide by it are abiding by it as defined.

Excellent. So how does this make them half-brain dead, then? Bolding is my emphasis for clarification.

that agreeing with them (the principles of the Tea Party - one of which is "Abide By the Constitution) requires a certain degree of brain death.

That particular group is not, at least insofar as one particular amendment to the Constitution as a whole is concerned. Everyone else, on the other hand, is another matter. And as for their "abiding by the Constitution" as a whole, what I said about being brain dead applies.
 
awesome AAA... how you pack so much into such a short space... with biting humor... is marvelous.
Jurisprudence with humor. It takes some mental horsepower to pull that off.

"Another basic rule is that the specific overrides the general. There is a specific provision that limits subsidies to state-run exchanges. The general intent of the law, namely to force republican voters to pay for healthcare for Obama supporters, cannot override a specific limitation."

How 'bout this has all gone through the courts, and has all been debated countless times, and the bottom line is that the individual has a right to bear arms. The original plan was that the entire, capable population was to be our army, sort of like the Swiss or Israelis, and like Tsing said, they were charged to produce their own weaponry. Just because we have a standing army now, doesn't mean we lose our rights. In fact, it's a better reason to keep the 2nd.

All you have to do is pass an Amendment that overturns the 2nd, and private citizens will have to give up their guns. LOL good luck.
