When?
Seven-Sky v. Holder
2011
Ah.
"The Affordable Care Act is unusually significant federal legislation that will affect all Americans. One provision of the Act requires most Americans to maintain health insurance or else pay a tax penalty when they file their annual tax returns. That provision — commonly referred to as the individual mandate — is codified in the Tax Code and takes effect in 2014. The tax penalty for those without health insurance is capped at the average price of a health insurance plan. The tax penalty is the only sanction for failing to have health insurance. And the IRS — and only the IRS — may assess, collect, and enforce the tax penalty."
That's probably the biggest drawback where Kavanaugh's concerned, I think that his position on the immigrant abortion case was satisfactory enough in my opinion.
And as for abortion, I don't think he's wrong to rule on a basis that doesn't repeal _Roe_, given his role.
When you work as a judge, your job isn't to overturn the Supreme Court. It's to interpret its opinions.
Yeah, pretty much, his abortion ruling was good enough for me.
The obamacare ruling is his big fault where I'm concerned, but his positions on everything else are good enough for me.
The Obamacare ruling is fine.
Roberts ruled similarly.
The Supreme Court has effectively given Congress unlimited tax authority.
The issue that conservatives have is that this ruling was the roadmap for the SC to make a similar ruling.
True.
Although, ultimately it is inconsequential as we do have Roberts on the court and wouldn't have a majority to overturn that case even if we did appoint a judge which wanted it overturned.
So, looking at it that way, Kavanaugh is really our best choice when looking at it purely from his record.
Anyways, after Trump's pick to replace Kennedy, I have no doubts as to who he should pick to replace Ginsburg should that choice need to be made, and that would be Barrett.
If Kavanaugh should prove to be a wild card on social conservatism, she would absolutely be certain to rule correctly, she is deeply religious to the point that Feinstein discriminated her in her hearings for the appellate courts.
I still want Pryor.
Another thing is continuity, Barrett would be a replacement of a liberal woman on the court with a conservative woman, similar to Clarence Thomas being the conservative replacement to the liberal Thurgood Marshall.
I find it hilarious that the big Catholic thing for which Feinstein reprimanded her was the death penalty.
She wrote a book saying she believed that the death penalty was legal, but that a judge or justice who does not want to "kill" the convict should recuse his or her self from the case.
So, I don't think I've heard or seen a single commercial from a New York politician
But I've overheard Bob Hugin's commercials 1000 different times
Hugin's a big social liberal so he's running on a correct platform in NJ.
But Menendez has around a 95%~ of winning in NJ.
@[Lex] this one frequent ad includes him saying "I am pro choice, pro marriage equality, and support equal pay for equal work"
He knows what he needs to do to win
Another ad mentions that Obama's Justice department said Menendez deserved to go to jail

This is the correct route to go, no capitulation. We don't give anything unless we get denuclearization as a baseline.
