Halbig decision out: Most Obamacare subsidies are declared illegal…

As Biden might say, this is a potentially a big deal…
Halbig decision here.  District Court decision reversed by Appeals court in Halbig v. Burwell (while not a Supreme Court decision, it is almost certainly heading there)

More on what Halbig is about.
Going to review by full panel of D.C. Circuit?
The administration is expected to appeal the panel’s decision to the full 11-member appeals court. In the last year, Obama has added four judges to the D.C. Circuit court, giving Democratic appointees a majority for the first time since the mid-1980s.

  1. It may not be dead, but it's on the critical list and the death panel is about to weigh in.

    This will go to SCOTUS and I think this is the pattern we see - that's it's just nickel-and-dimed to death.

    And for all those trolls who thought they'd won when this mess passed,

    Ha ha.
