Gruber has even repeatedly confirmed that fact, even before the case was filed.
Intent. I know, sounds odd...but what was the INTENT of CONGRESS.

Not Grubar, not anyone else. Congress.

suspect that will be what defines the supreme court ruling.

If not, then the Republicans will shoot themselves in the foot again, and will lose elections in 2016. Feel free.

I'm not trying. I'm voting against those who won't listen. It's too bad others who claim to want this also won't do the same.

Obama Promises Iraq

Obama pledges an additional $200million in aid to Jordan to help with the strain caused by thousands of Syrian refugees | Daily Mail Online

It's called aid, but the people don't see any aid. It's nothing more than bribes.

It's not our problem. If you would rather spend the money on war, well, that's sad.

Democrats / Obama told us this same lie about Obamacare. Most of us have seen large price increases.

Compare the US healthcare costs, vs the rest of the worlds. There is a reason universal healthcare is used.

Nope, just leave. These folks have been fighting each other since Jesus was in 1st grade. Nothing we do or say will alter the outcome.

Was not the intent clearly expressed in the language of the law?
