Scalia Insists Congress Would Act If SCOTUS Nixes Obamacare Subsidies

[Cali_Democrat]

What a delusional bastard. Does he not follow the news? How in the world would THIS Congress come together and fix this?



--------------------------

WASHINGTON — Justice Antonin Scalia expressed confidence on Wednesday morning that Congress would act to mitigate the damage if the Supreme Court ruled to invalidate Obamacare subsidies for millions of Americans.

"You really think Congress is just going to sit there while all the disastrous consequences ensue?" he asked Obama administration lawyer Don Verrilli.

The U.S. solicitor general had a sarcastic retort.

"Well, this Congress?"

The audience in the packed courtroom laughed.

"Yes," Scalia protested, "I think this Congress would act."

11. Hmm the previous Republican house was one of the slowest track records in governance in 100 years

so why would anyone believe this new house with even more strife will magically be better at it? Only a fool would believe that. Oh wait, Scalia so yeah there is your fool.
