The Supreme Court shut down an attack on Obamacare in the most dismissive way possible

As the Supreme Court held in Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife (1992), no one may file a federal lawsuit challenging a law unless they have suffered an “injury in fact” that is “fairly traceable” to the law that they are challenging.

 

Yet that didn’t stop 18 Republican state attorneys general from bringing this futile effort to kill Obamacare. In the end, they lost because of a simple fact: No one is injured by a law that requires them to pay zero dollars.

 

As Breyer writes, “the IRS can no longer seek a penalty from those who fail to comply” with the requirement to buy insurance. Thus, “there is no possible Government action that is causally connected to the plaintiffs’ injury.”

I must say, SCOTUS got it wrong. Hurt fee-fees are most certainly an injury in fact that are fairly traceable to the continued existence of Obummercare. 

 

The only solution is for all nine justices to commit ritual suicide at this point.
