Surprisingly, Chief Justice John Roberts was the swing vote in support.  :spooked:  :biggrin:

Yay!
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

That sums it up quite nicely.  That really is the bottom line.  :yes:

It would have been a national disaster to have decided otherwise. Yet 4 were all for driving us down that path?  :spooked:

And now we have a repugnican talking head on TV spewing sour grapes over the SCOTUS decision, and saying "I'm just thankful we don't have people killing each other on the streets over this. I'm surprised."

Lets see what happens.  To say this IS a good thing is to speak without any REAL knowledge of the impact of a bill, that was too big, and the legislatures did NOT know what all was in it, BEFORE they voted for it.  They was hell bent to pass SOMETHING, they passed it.  That is where I find fault, with the opposing party.
I hope and pray that it does make things better.  But one thing right off the cuff is the parents covering their kids until they are 26, I think is a provision that has already caused my own policy to go up. 

and another concern is, IF, our government can force everyone to buy a commodity, then what is next? 

I STILL have faith in our system, despite the political turmoil, that IF this IS bad, it will be repealed.  IF, it is a good thing, then it will stay.

This ruling does not say it is a GOOD bill, just that it clears legalities of our constitution.

This is going to get VERY interesting over the next few months...that is for sure.

The only thing bad about this legislation is to be found from the health insurer's perspective; it limits their ability to inflict insurance genocide upon the masses. Then there are the greedy business people who, despite the law, continue to offer NO health insurance to their employees. NONE.

Great, now wienie girl (Bachmann) is on camera blathering about "Obama-Care". . . Just like the birth certificate bullshit, this will NEVER die. Even when the POTUS is re-elected!  :mad:

Lets get this straight....Obama said that this bill was NOT a tax, Congress said it was NOT a tax.  The bill got passed based upon the people thinking it was NOT a tax.
The SCOTUS just said it IS INDEED a tax.

We have been misled and LIED too.

We now have the largest tax increase on the American people in the history of this nation....during a recession.
