Ed Kilgore Enlightens Me

++Ed Kilgore at the Washington Monthly notes that my Chevron argument for maintaining subsidies for Obamacare would have led to a Republican administration interpreting the law another way. In the majority opinion, this is explicitly ruled out.

++Read Washington Monthly on the Right's blasts at Roberts calling him the Mitch McConnell of the Supreme Court.

++In a 5-4 decision the Court upheld the federal government's right to prohibit discriminatory housing.

++Now I have a complaint. Early this morning I received numerous fund-raising e-mails that the Koch Brothers were going to gut Obamacare,that the ACA would be decimated. Give money. Now I receive e-mails Obamacare won, give money. There is a limit to this since the opinions was written months ago.

++President Obama did a victory lap and Hillary Clinton yelled,"yes" on the Supreme Court decision.

++Tony Scalia was sarcastic as usually about the decision saying it should be called Scotuscare and he denounced Roberts for abandoning "textualism". With the confederate flag dying,maybe we are seeing the fading of textualism.

++Ed Kilgore wants to see the Right's heads explode if Kennedy writes that same-sex marriage decision.
