Only 16 states run their own exchanges. The federal government runs extend his for the remaining 34 states that opted out of setting up their own. The court is expected to rule on the case before the end of the term in june. This is an hour and 20 minutes. Well hear arguments this morning in case 14114, king v. Burwell. Mr. Carvin. Mr. Chief justice, and may it please the court, this is a straightforward case of statutory construction where the plain language of the statute dictates the result. Mr. Carvin, will you please back up, because before we get to a question of statutory construction, as you know, each plaintiff, or at least one plaintiff, has to have a concrete stake in these questions. They cant put them as ideological questions. And we have as four plaintiffs. As to two of them, there is a declaration stating i am not eligible for Health Insurance from the government, but theres a question of whether they are veterans eligible for coverage as veterans. Yes. One of those is m
Its well, thats what qualified means, justice alito. It means that, you know, if youre not qualified, youre unqualified. And so, i mean, thats what it means. And so youre just reading the word qualified out of the statute if you read it that way. Qualified is used in the in the lay sense of the term, its not a technical term here. Well, i think well, given the way its defined, its defined as a person who resides in the state. It excludes people out of state. It does that because the statute was quite clear that you werent going to be allowed to shop for insurance policies across state lines because that would infringe on traditional state prerogatives regulating insurance. And it and with respect to prisoners, it doesnt make any sense to say that prisoners should be able to get insurance. Mr. Carvin says, yes, it does because they get out of prison. Well, theres a specific statutory provision that says when you face a changedlife circumstance, such as getting out of prison, you can sig
My goodness people are talking about it. Round up the usual suspects. Well in fact we do not want to discourage their newfound interest. But we are not buying that old trickledown economics that didnt work before and can never work again because it defies arithmetic and reality. [applause] so we welcome them to come with their ideas and that is what it should be about. Elections should be the contest of ideas. And i think emilys list has proven that in that contest of ideas, the women who are willing to enter the arena well equipped in some great measure by the support they get from emilys list, can make their case and can be elected. When i think in my own life history, i like so many of you am in this room and across this country. My grandfather was a factory worker that started at the age of 11 and worked until he was 65 and got to retire. His son, my father went to college. He was a small businessman who worked really hard and made a good life for us. My mother had a terrible abusi
In a side arbucarticle that the Washington Post report on the fiscal cliff this morning. Heres an article from Washington Times now this is from politico. A situation that was in the paper couple weeks ago. Looks li finally, before we go to phone calls, this article from the daily caller again, that is reported in the daily caller. We begin with a call from diane in julian, california, on our democratic line. Caller good morning, peter. My prediction came true, reelecting a president. Women against violence acts, being held up by the house. John boehner and the Republican House majority leader eric cantor. I tweeted last night quiet late saying the republicans are going to gang up on john boehner. There is an article in the New York Times showing they feel he is dragging his feet and waiting until january 3. I also understand that the chairman of the government oversight and Reform Committee darrell issa, which is from our district here, is holding up the vote on the women against viol
