Spannend verhaal over een geheimzinnige rechtszaak die gevoerd wordt over een dagvaarding om een getuigenis af te leggen tussen enerzijds Mueller en anderzijds een onbekende getuige. Iedere keer als er in deze zaak een hoorzitting is, gaat de hele verdieping op slot, wordt het gebouw gescand voor achtergelaten opnameapparatuur en worden alle journalisten naar buiten gestuurd.
Dat gaat dan ongeveer zo:

Uitspraak over de zaak van het niet meer verplichten van een boete voor het niet afsluiten van een ACA verzekering. Draadje van een rechtenprofessor:

The Texas decision on the Affordable Care Act is out. The individual mandate is unconstitutional, the court rules, and the mandate can't be severed from the rest of the Act. en met verwijzingen: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1073743858876514304.htmlquote:The Texas decision on the Affordable Care Act is out. The individual mandate is unconstitutional, the court rules, and the mandate can't be severed from the rest of the Act.
The court's decision is NOT limited to guaranteed issue and community rating. In the court's view -- and this is *absolutely* insane -- the entire Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional.
Procedurally, however, the court has not granted an injunction. He has instead treated the red states' motion for a preliminary injunction as a request for summary judgment.
The court's decision is also not limited to the plaintiff red states. That means the blue states -- California et al. -- can take an appeal.
Because there's no injunction (not yet, anyhow) the Trump administration would not be in contempt if it continued to implement the ACA. Nor, I think, does it need to secure a stay pending appeal -- though I could be wrong about that. Which means that EVERYONE SHOULD STAY CALM.
As I've said before, reasonable minds can differ about whether a penalty-free individual mandate is unconstitutional, as the court has said. All the action is on whether the mandate is severable.
Oh, by the way -- he issued this decision the night that open enrollment ended. You think that was a coincidence? I've got a bridge to sell you.
On severability, the judge cites the relevant legal standard. You would've thought that would have resolved the question: we all know that Congress in 2017 wanted an ACA without the mandate. Why? Because that's what it voted for.
The judge starts by going by to the 2010 Congress, which thought the individual mandate essential. Now, that doesn't imply that THE WHOLE STATUTE has to fall if the individual mandate goes. But that's how the judge reads it.
The intent of the 2010 Congress, however, isn't what matters here. So all the real fighting happens in the judge's discussion of the 2017 Congress. And that's where things get weird.
"There is no answer." Seriously? Hey, Judge O'Connor, I'm old enough to have lived through the repeal-and-replace debate. IT WAS LAST YEAR. And I'm confident about two things: (1) that Congress didn't repeal the whole ACA, and (2) that it did repeal the mandate penalty.
As for the claim that the penalty was not the individual mandate, that'd have come as a surprise to every Republican official who said they'd REPEALED THE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE. If you're measuring congressional intent, shouldn't that matter?
Oh, it gets better! He says that it's the blue states that are asking him to be an activist judge!
He goes on in that vein: "Nothing to see here, I'm just doing my job." if you can read this claim that he's just a judicial minimalist without gales of laughter, you're a better person than I am.
I haven't even gotten to the standing analysis, such as it is. The judge here says that the plaintiffs -- two individuals -- are subject to the "individual mandate," and therefore suffer injury.
Never mind that this individual mandate -- the purported unconstitutionality of which is SUCH A BIG DEAL that the entire rest of the ACA has to fall -- IS COMPLETELY UNENFORCEABLE.
The judge credulously accepts the individual plaintiffs' claims that they would be "freed from arbitrary governance." But eliminating the mandate penalty did exactly that. It freed them!
I'm gobsmacked. This judge honestly thinks the Constitution requires the elimination of the entire ACA -- including its Medicaid expansion, its provisions about calorie counts at chain restaurants, and its new rules on biosimilars -- because of an unenforceable "mandate"?
If you were ever tempted to think that right-wing judges weren't activist -- that they were only "enforcing the Constitution" or "reading the statute" -- this will persuade you to knock it off. This is insanity in print, and it will not stand up on appeal.

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
Dat Warren in haar home state derde scoort in de peilingen zou haar genoeg moeten zeggen over haar kansen. Als de Dems haar nomineren dan wordt dat een drama.
Ook de enige waar Trump van wint in Ohio. Maar hij wint niet een beetje maar gewoon +6.quote:

Na Clinton is Warren de meeste gehate vrouw op links samen met Pelosi en haar nomineren zou echt een gift voor Trump zijn.

Dit soort peilingen zeggen nog steeds vrij weinig zonder dat de campagne is begonnen. Biden en Sanders staan nog steeds hoofdzakelijk bovenaan op basis van naamsbekendheid. Ik moet ook nog maar zien of die twee nog trek hebben in een dergelijke campagne.quote:

Ik vind Warren verder ook niet echt een hele sterke kandidaat. Qua standpunten zit ze niet ver van Sanders af, maar ik zie haar niet direct een hele sterke grassrootscampagne op poten zetten en heel charismatisch of aansprekend is ze ook niet.
Hoe ze omging met dat native heritage verhaal was ook niet erg sterk.
Ik verwacht nog steeds dat het de wat jongere garde wordt die gaat strijden om de nominatie. Wellicht dat zo'n O'Rourke nog meedoet en onverwachts hoge ogen gooit.
