South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson released the following statement on today’s ruling by the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Halbig v. Burwell, striking down an IRS regulation which allowed the use of federal tax subsidies for the purchase of health insurance on federal exchanges under the Affordable Care Act:

“I am pleased the court ruled that the IRS exceeded its authority by reinterpreting language in the Affordable Care Act. I joined seven of my fellow Attorneys General in filing amici briefs because we recognize the vital importance of ensuring unelected bureaucrats do not regulate what Congress does not legislate. Today’s decision is an important victory for stalwarts of Federalism and all who recognize the federal government must operate within the limits established by the Constitution.”

In February of this year, Attorney General Wilson, along with colleagues from Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma and West Virginia, urged the D.C. Court of Appeals to review the case after a federal judge ruled in favor of the federal government.

This will not be good for the economy or insurance companies, but the law is pretty clear and I can’t help but agree with the ruling.

How can two courts have opposite rulings. This is all Putin’s doing.

I guess he can change “pleased” to “angered” when the full court overturns the panels decision…..

Obamacare will fall in ruins soon. Remember, the masses rejected it in poll after poll after poll. But still, Democrats and RINOS (like Graham) rammed it down our throats.

“If I ask for pizza from Pizza Hut for lunch but clarify that I would be fine with a pizza from Domino’s, and I then specify that I want ham and pepperoni on my pizza from Pizza Hut, my friend who returns from Domino’s with a ham and pepperoni pizza has still complied with a literal construction of my lunch order…”-Senior Judge Andre Davis, 4th Circuit, concurring

Brilliant legal mind Davis has…LoL

Wilson is “pleased”, yet does not mention that the decision was not what the amici asked for.

Boo hoo, the 2000+ page bill didn’t get all the wording right and now the parasites sucking off taxpayer money have to pay their own bills(for now) in some states. That’s really disappointing, no worries though people. the bureaucrats aren’t done yet so it’s doubtful this bit of respite will last.
