So, I don't understand how getting federal funds through anything, but especially medicare would make you immune to lawsuits? What a crazy legal opinion to start with - glad to see that made it to the right decision on the court.

However, the later reference to "the spending power" - are they implying Thomas is going to try and declare medicare unconstitutional? I used to think that sort of thing would get people to vote against republicans, but at this point I think many voters would vote for getting kicked out of their own houses and shot if it was team red. IDK.

That makes more sense. Thanks! I would figure you could still sue a restaurant that made you ill however, because you suffered a direct harm. You just can't sue about a code violation that hasn't actually harmed you.
