Huckabee Calls Obamacare Ruling An 'Out-Of-Control Act Of Judicial Tyranny'

Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) said Thursday that the Supreme Court’s decision on Obamacare subsidies was “an out-of-control act of judicial tyranny.” The decision by the Supreme Court upheld the country’s tax subsidies as part of President Obama’s health care program and ensured that millions of Americans will continue to have health insurance.

"Today's King v. Burwell decision, which protects and expands ObamaCare, is an out-of-control act of judicial tyranny,” Huckabee said in his statement. “Our Founding Fathers didn't create a 'do-over' provision in our Constitution that allows unelected, Supreme Court justices the power to circumvent Congress and rewrite bad laws.”

Huckabee went on to criticize Congress and demanded that it admit wrongdoing. “The solution is for Congress to admit they screwed up, repeal the 'nightmare of Obamacare', and let states road-test real health care reforms,” Huckabee said. He also explained what he would do differently.

“As President, I will protect Medicare, repeal ObamaCare, and pass real reform that will actually lower costs, while focusing on cures and prevention rather than intervention,” Huckabee said. “The status quo is unfair, unaffordable, unsustainable, and completely un-American."

10. It's always tyranny with those assholes

I have yet to see a SCOTUS order that goes against the GOP, no matter how small, not called tyranny withing 5 minutes of it's reading.

Of course when a piece of shit like Citizen's United gets through it's a well balanced decision that takes all points into account and is purely based on the law and the Constitution.

I love it when they start bleating about tyranny then at least then we know the country is moving in the right direction.

12. It's tyranny to interpret the law the way

...every member of Congress who wrote it did
...the CBO did
...the state legislatures did
...and the IRS did.

16. Is it me or did this clown actually make a factual statement?

"Our Founding Fathers didn't create a 'do-over' provision in our Constitution that allows unelected, Supreme Court justices the power to circumvent Congress and rewrite bad laws."

Minus the "bad" the crazy one is on point. Other than that he's still as nutty as they come.
