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.

Well, theres a specific statutory provision that says when you face a changedlife circumstance, such as getting out of prison, you can sig
Mentioned, all of a sudden thats when it became so rotten that we no longer are the people or the people could no longer put up with it. The Pivotal Moment wags when it accepted the deal that was moment was when it accepted the deal that was offered by russia which our european allies were not willing to do. That ignited this situation. Thats what turned the policy type of situation and perhaps the and perhaps the overturn of rotten government through a electoral process into instead the overturn of the rotten regime by violent demonstrations and nondemocratic means of overthrowing that regime. They could two years later could have kicked that guy out with a free election. They didnt wait. Let me ask you about ok. Lets hope what were doing now is aimed at trying to end the conflict that started in that more complicated way than black and white.

Here in america and we did a lot of research on it. Whats your opinion . Lets look at what has been created and so on. I think the way the country has turned it basically is wonderful, and these guys took a great chance and they risked their lives and a lot of people died so we did have a government where the states took place. The irony that i bring up and i read about the tea party is that in fact there is not a lot in common between the contemporary tea parties and the fiscal policy ideas about the fiscal policy.
