BREAKING NEWS: We're gonna be the first to post the ruling.

BREAKING NEWS: Justice Roberts just opened his mouth!! Wait, he's yawning.

BREAKING NEWS: Crap, my finger slipped. This thing is on a hair trigger.

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Every one of these places should just stfu until the ruling is released. This is worse than E3.

It has been released though... The woman on CBS is standing on the steps and was handed the printed out document of it.

 

[sangreal]

scotus blog: The bottom line: the entire ACA is upheld, with the exception that the federal government's power to terminate states' Medicaid funds is narrowly read.

 

[Brinbe]

Wow @ Justice Roberts, didn't expect that.

 

[gcubed]

This is delightful. Made my day !

Congratz from France my fellow American gaffers !

Still not good. Private insurance blows

 

[Leunam]

Individual mandate upheld? Fuck you CNN.

Cue G.O.P. outrage in three, two, one...

Scalia's comments should be a lot of fun to read.

 

[Bowdz]

Here is a big LAUGHING MY GODDAMN ASS OFF at the utterly SHIT reporting coming from Fox and CNN.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Can't wait to read Scalia's dissent.

 

[Kusagari]

Embarrassing. Ruled unconstitutional under the commerce clause so they go crazy and jump the gun.

Journalism? How does it work.

 

[el retorno]

Drudge literally copied the SCOTUS blog. Without giving them credit.

 

[OneEightZero]

Heh.

 

[ViperVisor]

Dewey defeats mandate.

 

[Leunam]

Well, great way to start my day. For once I'm eager to hear my coworkers rant and rave about Obama.

Scalia's Arizona rant was indeed a harbinger that he was ticked about this case.

 

[richiek]

CNN still has "MANDATE STRUCK DOWN" in big bold letters on its website.

EDIT: beaten

 

[NH Apache]

What is the actual decision? Fox News and CNN are reporting the mandate was struck down yet SCOTUSBlog said it was Constitutional. Lol CNN and Fox FTMFL.

SCOTUS isn't official. It''s done by Bloomberg.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Lots of people in my office cheering when the saw the CNN headline. Heard a few guys talking about how "Obama's term has now been completely pointless."

Associated Press is reporting that the mandate is upheld, so I'm going with that.

 

[Derrick01]

It has been released though... The woman on CBS is standing on the steps and was handed the printed out document of it.

I'm so lost on this shit. They're all desperate to be first so they're just reporting the first things they read instead of all of it.

 

[Nesotenso]

so 5-4 with Roberts joining the Liberals ?

 

[Brinbe]

Embarrassing. Ruled unconstitutional under the commerce clause so they go crazy and jump the gun.

Journalism? How does it work.

Seriously... my fucking God, really shows how hackish CNN is now. Utterly awful.

And wanna see dat GOP denigrate SCJ Roberts now.

 

[GTI Guy]

OMG this is going to be so delicious today. Will start reading through all of the conservative sites for maximum lulz today.

 

[Kusagari]

CNN just confirms entire law is upheld.

LOL CNN

 

[OneEightZero]

CNN still has "MANDATE STRUCK DOWN" in big bold letters on its website.

Just changed.

Edit: And just changed back. LOL

 

[Mac_Lane]

The hell is wrong with CNN ?

U.S. Supreme Court strikes down President Obama's health care law requiring Americans to buy health insurance.

Come again ?

 

[marrec]

scotusblog.com waited just 20 more seconds to parse the ruling and was able to report accurately.

Tom:
Chief Justice Roberts' vote saved the ACA.

wow, so fucking wild!

 

[Steelrain]

Nice!

 

[kirblar]

scotusblog.com waited just 20 more seconds to parse the ruling and was able to report accurately.

Was much more than 20 seconds, they took at least 3-4 minutes to work through it.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Chief Justice Roberts' vote saved the ACA.

Can't believe it was 5-4 in favor. I thought it'd be 6-3 for or 5-4 against.

This court is even more conservative ideologues than we realized.

 

[aceface]

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I'm so lost on this shit. They're all desperate to be first so they're just reporting the first things they read instead of all of it.

Dunno, maybe some are but CBS cut away so she could read it and then came back like 5 or so minutes later for her to explain what it was about and the rulings. Only thing struck down was states can't be forced to expand medicare.

 

[sangreal]

I'd like to take a minute and gloat that I've argued its a tax in every aca thread

(and i still dont support the bill)

judging from fox news seems the new republican talking point will be that the dems lied to the public about it not being a tax (which is true)

 

[Qazaq]

Wow, it was 5-4 with ROBERTS being the liberal vote?

 

[Talamius]

How do you get conflicting reports from SCOTUS?

Mainstream Media just got exposed. Way to read a blog.

 

[EYEL1NER]

So this was upheld AND Stolen Valor Act was struck down?
Wow, SCOTUS...I'm impressed.

 

[MThanded]

WTF is teh damn ruling?

 

[Open Source]

Don't care one way or the other about the ACA, really, but nice to see a limit being placed on the Commerce Clause.

 

[marrec]

Dunno, maybe some are but CBS cut away so she could read it and then came back like 5 or so minutes later for her to explain what it was about and the rulings. Only thing struck down was states can't be forced to expand medicare.

That wasn't struck down, it was limited.

wow, so fucking wild!

So Kennedy went with the conservatives?

 

[Kusagari]

All the talk was of Kennedy and it ended up being Roberts.

 

[aceface]

So the whole law was upheld?

 

[Bowdz]

WTF is teh damn ruling?

Law is upheld.

 

[Wilsongt]

The bitter tears over the next few days will be GLORIOUS.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Roberts always Seemed like a cool dude to me

 

[MBison]

So we should be happy that the administration said this wasn't a tax and SCOTUS says the only way it is constitutional is if it's a tax? And the administration will be like yay we won? Lol.

 

[sangreal]

So Kennedy went with the conservatives?

of course
