SandBoxBlogs: Town Hall "Conservative Interpretations"

To save part of Obamacare....isn't that giving our Supreme Court Justices the power to act like Congress and Senate?

Toss the entire thing and have them come back with something that works.  Just like any other case that comes before the court.

Jonah Goldberg:
"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg likes the Indian Healthcare Improvement Act and other ingredients of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka "ObamaCare." Why, she asked toward the end of three days of hearings, shouldn't the court keep the good stuff in ObamaCare and just dump the unconstitutional bits?

The court, she explained, is presented with "a choice between a wrecking operation ... or a salvage job. And the more conservative approach would be salvage rather than throwing out everything."

"Conservative" is a funny word. It can mean lots of different things. It reminds me of that line from G.K. Chesterton about the word "good." "The word 'good' has many meanings," he observed. "For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of 500 yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man."..."  (Read more?  Click title)

"Unapologetically pursuing and tracking patterns within the news others make since 2010."
