"... Huckabee said the decision was 'an out-of-control act of judicial tyranny.'" As opposed to your "tyranny"?

*  I guess Mike decided to only read the portions he wanted to read. On the other hand, he probably ignored most of it since it didn't have any pictures or a place where he could color. The Supreme Court did no such thing. He is a prime example of why the Republican Party, is going to become the Whig party of the 21st century!!
*  Of course it's not tyranny when the conservative court ruled corporations are people.
*  Huckbees god has nothing to do with the ACA. Every civilized country has universal healthcare, except the US. The rich just don't want the poor to have access to healthcare. Disgusting Republicans.
*  Religious nutters shouldn't be involved in politics
*  that's what jesus would do mike.. make the poor suffer with no insurance.. phony preacher man...
*   This decision is a GIFT to the GOP. Had all those people lost their coverage, they would be mad at the GOP. The GOP would then have to FIX Obamacare. Not repeal it, FIX it. And people would STILL be mad at them.  Now they can continue to be "outraged" at the law, but won't have to do anything about it.

Mike Huckabee: The Supreme Court just issued 'an out-of-control act of judicial tyranny'

Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee slammed the Supreme Court on Thursday after it delivered a huge victory for the White House by saving a crucial component of Obamacare in a 6-to-3 vote.

In a fierce statement, Huckabee said the decision was "an out-of-control act of judicial tyranny."

The US' highest court ruled that President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law could provide subsidies to millions of people who were insured through federal exchanges. The dissenting justices argued that the language of the Affordable Care Act indicated that only people insured through state-based exchanges should be eligible for the subsidies.

Huckabee clearly agreed with the dissent.

"Our Founding Fathers didn't create a 'do-over' provision in our Constitution that allows unelected, Supreme Court justices the power to circumvent Congress and rewrite bad laws," his statement continued. "The Supreme Court cannot legislate from the bench, ignore the Constitution, and pass a multitrillion-dollar 'fix' to Obamacare simply because Congress misread what the states would actually do."

He added: "The architects and authors of Obamacare were intentional in the way they wrote the law. The courts have no constitutional authority to rescue Congress from creating bad law."

Huckabee has long been critical of what he describes as the Supreme Court's overreaching its legal authority. When discussing the court potentially ruling in favor of same-sex marriage, for example, he has argued "the court cannot change what God has created."
