Is SCOTUS going to hear a lawsuit against ACA in November?

[MoonRiver]

I keep hearing this, and it's scary, with this court. Can we still rely on Roberts to vote with the 3 remaining liberals?

1. It is unclear they may delay it until the new justice is seated but that would be even worse.

I would point out that even a 4-4 ruling means the lower court ruling stands and that was to render the individual mandate unconstitutional.

2. If it's 4-4 (and that's WITH Roberts), then the ACA is dead.

3. Yes, and unfortunately it's probably not good news.

They announced they would delay their decision until after the election. They know if they completely gut the ACA pre election, it would be an even bigger loss for the gop.

So much for a non bias SCOTUS! We have to increase the number of judges!!

There is literally no choice left.

4. Yes . .

republicans want to take the remaining health care alonsgwith coverage for pre-existing condition away from Americans . . .

during a deathly Pandemic.

That is why they are pushing to seat the open seat left by my dear RBG. Cold hearted motherf**kers.

5. Yes. Arguments are scheduled for November 10th

7. This is spooky stuff.

As I understand it, the appeals court has ruled that the ACA is unconstitutional and should be struck down in its entirety. If the SCOTUS DOESN’T hear the case, the appeals court’s ruling stands—bye bye ACA. If the SCOTUS DOES hear the case, and I am not sure when that is scheduled to take place, if at all, then we have a vastly more difficult challenge protecting the ACA without RBG on the Court.
