Private sector? Why didn't the Federal Reserve create $2 trillion in QE to buy private sector MBS? They only bought GSE (Fannie and Freddie) MBS with that $2 trillion in QE. $2 trillion artificially pumped into the economy devaluing the dollar and reducing lower-income and middle class buying power because those off the hook weren't making their mortgage payments and instead were pumping artificially gained wealth into the economy.
Are you aware that tens of thousands of homeowners are 5+ years behind on their mortgage payments and will get their homes for free because the statute of limitations has run out on foreclosures?

That's Fannie's and Freddie's fault for buying Clinton era HUD-mandated "Affordable Lending" loans made to people who never should have qualified, not the private sector's fault.
We already determined how everyone dropped the ball. Remember how dishonest you were being with the SEC pdf? Where the private regulators were fined for their wrong doing?
If they were, they wouldn't have violated both the 10th and 14th Amendments with this ruling.
Furthermore, SCOTUS isn't infallible. Even SCOTUS rulings have been overturned, subsequently.
when you can muster a legal argument that wasn't already put in front of the court, the fact remains the law was struck down. your point was dismissed out of hand.
Cite the U.S. vasectomy and abortion statistics side by side.
Vasectomy: Zero deaths, ever.
Abortion: 10 deaths in just 2011, alone.
Nearly 80% of abortions are surgical procedures, and women's deaths have been reported as a result of complications of legally performed abortions (CDC tracks that).
Given those facts, there's no way anyone can legitimately argue that ambulatory surgery center medical and facilities standards aren't necessary for facilities performing SURGICAL abortions...
unless they're OK with needlessly killing women.
We can all see in this thread who falls in that latter category.
I wonder if hospitals are considered surgery centers? Surgeries ARE done in hospitals, are they not?
In 2010, the Office of Inspector General for Health and Human Services said that bad hospital care contributed to the deaths of 180,000 patients in Medicare alone in a given year.
Now comes a study in the current issue of the Journal of Patient Safety that says the numbers may be much higher — between 210,000 and 440,000 patients each year who go to the hospital for care suffer some type of preventable harm that contributes to their death, the study says.
That would make medical errors the third-leading cause of death in America, behind heart disease, which is the first, and cancer, which is second.
My goodness! I come back to this thread and learn that hothulamaui is a Supreme Court Justice!
Whodathunk?
I'm honored to be on the same site as a member of the SCOTUS!
You are confused, she isn't the one arguing that SCOTUS missed the obvious violation of the 10th & 14th Amendment, all that talent and they pure out missed it according the league leading poster on this thread.
Bunch of dummies, how did they pass the bar exam.

No, I was commenting on informedconsent's post that hothulamaui has blood on her hands because of the SCOTUS ruling. The only way that could be true is if hothula is a SC justice.
My post was sarcasm. I should have used the () symbol.

Worldwide, though, there have been deaths from vasectomy.
Since you are insistent that women should receive ambulatory surgical center standard care on the very remote possibility of complications, and since complications can arise as the result of vasectomies, shouldn't men receive the same ambulatory surgical center standard of care? Otherwise, are you consigning men to second-class status, and to death?
78.1% of all reported abortions in 2012 were accomplished by surgical procedure: curettage (which includes dilation and evacuation). Most curettage abortions are suction procedures.
Medical abortions made up 21.9% of all abortions reported in 2012.
As the vast majority of abortions are surgical procedures, ambulatory surgery standards ARE necessary. The SCOTUS ruling sets a horrible legal precedent that it's OK to provide substandard health care to women.
And yet doctors can perform a D&C in office WITHOUT admitting privileges or surgical center requirements as long as it is for a miscarriage.

What wrongdoing? There was no wrongdoing. Remember the SEC findings on the ratings agencies?
Quote:
"There is no requirement that a rating agency verify the information contained in RMBS loan portfolios presented to it for rating. Additionally, rating agencies are not required to insist that issuers perform due diligence, and they are not required to obtain reports concerning the level of due diligence performed by issuers.
...The [SEC] Staff notes that each rating agency publicly disclosed that it did not engage in any due diligence or otherwise seek to verify the accuracy or quality of the loan data underlying the RMBS pools they rated during the review period. Each rating agency’s “Code of Conduct” (available on each rating agency’s website) clearly stated that it was under no obligation to perform, and did not perform, due diligence. Each also noted that the assignment of a rating is not a guarantee of the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information relied on in connection with the rating."
