    Don't be a fool. ACA is not the point. Kavanaugh's willingness to rewrite statutes is. He cannot be trusted. I see you want another Kennedy. Or another Roberts. Why? We can have a Constitutional Conservative if we insist on it.

    Don't put this on the Republicans. Roberts rewrote an unconstitutional law. Roberts and Kavanaugh are gross errors. We can do better and we should.

    No, they shouldn't. You know I'm right but you can't ever admit to being wrong. You are dead wrong this time. Do try to learn something you don't know. You're never too hard to learn if you want to learn. That remains to be seen.

    Yea, reject Trump's appointee right before the election and give the House to the Dems as a gift.

    If I am wrong shouldn't you be able to show it? I posted Scalia's dissent and described how Kavanaugh did the same gyrations Roberts did to turn a penalty into a tax. Do you disbelieve Scalia's dissent? Do you believe Kavanaugh did not do all he could to turn a legislated penalty into a legislated tax?

    Or is it that you simply do not care if Kavanaugh is a very risky choice?

    It was the stupid Republicans who screamed it was a tax. they said it in writing to the Court. They said it to the Court. Roberts took their arguement. Yea, it was dumbass Republicans who brought the tax issue to the Court.
    Perhaps you were ill and unable to keep up when the issue came to the court. I can't think of any other reason for you to say this.

    Note to self: Capt is unaware that Roberts rewrote a legislative penalty, the law, unconstitutionally, into a tax. Question: Is Capt simply ignorant? Is there some other explanation? Can a Justice write legislation? If so by what Constitutional authority?

    Are the Republicans dumb asses or is Capt simply wrong, again.

    It does not matter what Republicans did or did not say. Do you understand that? The point was the law itself. The law itself was unconstitutional. Roberts rewrote the law. That is unconstitutional.

    Perhaps you were too ill to understand what the Supreme Court is supposed to do. I can't think of any other reason for you to say this.

    Scalia wasn't a god. He though t that government agencies had more "belief" in courts too.

    Blame Robert's. he was on the court. Kavanaugh wasn't.

    He is not a risky choice. Neither was Roberts. Roberts has been just fine most of the time.

    Showing you a fire wouldn't be enough for you. Throwing you in it to see how hot it was wouldn't make you think it wasn't a trick.

    You normality status is at risk I think. There is another group besides normal and abnormals. There aberrants. You are borderline as is. Hopefully, you are having a bad day and can rejoin the normals.

    You are arguing against a point I did not make. While convenient for you it does not advance your argument.
    Blame Robert's. he was on the court. Kavanaugh wasn't.
    I do blame Roberts. If you can pay attention Kavanaugh ruled on the same law. Kavanaugh practically did somersaults to convert the penalty into a tax as Roberts did after Kavanaugh did.

    One can learn from one's mistakes or one can appoint another Kennedy or Roberts. We deserve better and we should demand that President Trump nominate a Constitutional Conservative.

    He is not a risky choice. Neither was Roberts. Roberts has been just fine most of the time.
    Roberts made ACA constitutional through an unconstitutional rewriting of the law. If you believe that is acceptable then the problem lies within you.
    Showing you a fire wouldn't be enough for you. Throwing you in it to see how hot it was wouldn't make you think it wasn't a trick.
    I understand you ran out of arguments.
    You normality status is at risk I think. There is another group besides normal and abnormals. There aberrants. You are borderline as is. Hopefully, you are having a bad day and can rejoin the normals.
    The Normal people want a Constitutional Conservative on the Court. The abnormals don't really care as long as they can claim a win. Don't be abnormal.
