This is a Test of the Entire United States Judicial System. This is Only a Test.

There is a test going on in the Supreme Court right now and it is not just a test to determine the fate of Obamacare. This is ultimately a test to determine which Supreme Court justices can actually read. These justices are currently hearing arguments regarding an issue which is as simple as two plus two.

The Affordable Care Act clearly states that the federal government can only subsidize the insurance premiums for exchanges that have been established by the individual states. This law specifically says that these subsidies would not be provided for states on the federal exchanges. One of the founders of this law then went on to proclaim publicly that this distinction was placed into the legislation on purpose as an incentive for the states to establish their own exchanges. This preemptively diffuses any theoretical argument regarding the law’s true intent. This part of the law was clearly not a typographical error.

Any judge who rules in favor of the Affordable Care Act regarding this issue is either too foolish to interpret the plain English written into the law or they are too influenced by politics to actually do their jobs and interpret the law as written. The justices of the Supreme Court are about to be subjected to a very public litmus test. Their bias may soon be exposed for the whole world to see. Our citizens are watching closely to see whether or not the judicial system in the United States is now completely broken.

I do not personally wish for this court decision to be upheld because I want people to pay more for their health insurance. My wish for this legal decision being upheld is a simple one.  I believe in the simple rule of law.  I believe that the Affordable Care Act is a bad law… and in the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln: “The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.”
