Republicans try stealing the ball after the game is over

Several people have pointed out that today's ruling on the ACA has a glass hammer life expectancy.

I've been trying to imagine how they'll spin this into a positive for people have been to the doctor for the first time in decades or the hospital execs. who have already seen the financial benefits of the ACA. "Good news people! The long nightmare of physical and mental prosperity has been averted!"

Something like that.

I imagine when members of The Base complain because they lost their insurance and not just the 'orrible blahs, the ever-thoughtful GOP will tell them to spit out the government lotos blossom and yank on them bootstraps until their blood pressure or blood sugar reaches the proper level. Cancer patients - Pray.

Or maybe they'll finally produce that Conservative Alternative to Obamacare they've been promising. Ha ha ha! I made a funny. 

In the meantime, real people, even people that Republicans would acknowledge as real, will have to deal with the confusion this ruling generates. I'm sure that as the negative responses reach a certain depth, the GOP will gradually discover that this is all Obama's fault.

I'm also curious where this leaves Orange Boner's lawsuit. I guess he'll have to find something else to impress the faithful before the next election.

Assholes.

For-profit corporations are non-profits too (when they keep the sluts in line) my friend!

Per SCOTUSblog via Balloon Juice. The Supreme Court was sent into a tizzy by the thought of women exercising control over their bodies, and in its panic, ran head first into a wall.

Think I'm kidding? Well how else do you explain this?

The Court says that RFRA requires the Govt to provide closely-held corporate objectors the same accommodation it already provides nonprofit organization objectors.

per the IRS:

Generally, a closely held corporation is a corporation that:

Has more than 50% of the value of its outstanding stock owned (directly or indirectly) by 5 or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of the tax year; and
Is not a personal service corporation.

Exactly.

In addition, the court specifically stated that the ruling did not apply to vaccinations (which are also covered under the preventive services benefit) or blood transfusions (which are not). No comment on whether a closely-held corporation can decide it doesn't want to cover STD or depression screening (which are both covered by the PSB).

Two things that are certain:

1. This clusterfuck of a ruling will ensure years of litigation because that's one of the hallmarks of a bad law.

2. The five male members of the S.C. are the real victims.
