Melber Hopes Justice Roberts Rides to ObamaCare’s Rescue Again for ‘Legitimacy’

Citing ‘Legitimacy of the Court,’ MSNBC's Melber Hopes John Roberts Rides to ObamaCare Rescue Yet Again (NewsBusters)

In the aftermath of a DC circuit court ruling today that would effectively end ObamaCare as we know it in the 36 states with federal exchanges, MSNBC's The Reid Report feared the worst, and attempted to rally the troops, so to speak. Host Joy Reid played the part, bringing on two guests who rejected the notion that this ruling would be accepted by the full appeals court panel or the Supreme Court.

One guest, co-host of The Cycle Ari Melber, played the “legitimacy of the court” card, hardly an uncommon practice when liberals feel they are on the short end of the judicial stick. He argued that Chief Justice John Roberts – the swing vote in upholding the ObamaCare individual mandate as a “tax” – would never let this happen.
