Is soliciting someone to be a party to a suit, while remaining silent (at least) about the issues and implications of it, barratry?

I read this column back last Nov, but forgot about it. It makes the case that this represnets a naked ploy by the Supreme Court's conservatives to have another go at Obamacare, since they missed whacking it the first time. The question is, will Roberts buckle under pressure to 'atone' for his 'wrong' vote the first time?

No one having taken me up on the $100 bet, I think I'd better withdraw it....

Free to be strapped to the yoke for life, if they don't at least support Medicare.
Why in the hell ANYONE would favor a system that cuts you off because you've lost your job or grown too old to work is beyond me.

In some ways it really does not affect us because our supplemental health insurance is not via ACA. But it takes a really cold hearted SOB to cut the ground out from under the folks in the ACA.
