#2 Sorry Steve, the fight is over, we lost.

Dark Ages, here we come.

#3 ....and urged opponents to swing behind the law.

An interesting turn of phrase.

#4 Mitt Romney raised $3.2 million overnight from over 30,000 donors, according to Atlantic magazine, and yesterday pledged to make appealing Obamacare a Day One priority.

The Weekly Standard mentions that the twenty three lawsuits against the contraception/abortion mandates are unaffected by yesterday's ruling, and are continuing to send their way through the courts.

So the individual mandate/tax is not the only arrow in the anti-Obamacare quiver, and President Obama may well discover that he was victorious in this first battle, only to lose the war.

#5 no mo uro, No, no too soon. Obama and the Dem's own this. Come November we will remember. I call this Obama's Hell Health care. Forget the care.

#6 Dale, while I admire your ability to be optimistic at this late date, I fear that all of us here at the 'burg and other places who espouse center/right, Western thought just had our chances of dying in a civil war or a Dem reeducation camp brought to the "virtual certainty" level.

#9 Dale, those pics are from a time that will never return.

Within a generation they will be expunged the same way the early Christians destroyed what came before.

It will be as though they, and we, never existed.

A boot stamping into a face, forever. The left uses 1984 as a how-to manual, not a warning.

Those are the times we are facing. Get ready. Buy ammo.

#13 Roberts' is a clown. I just listened to that P.O.S. Geraldo Rivera deify him on Fox news for his supposed brilliant legal move. Pathetic. SCOTUS's role is to uphold the U.S. Constitution and interpret laws within that framework. Period. The Chief Justice is not supposed to parse or publish half-measure jibberish in order to kowtow to the politicial whimsies of the day. Disgraceful. Kagan is an absolute piece of crap as well.

Penalty = Tax? Really? So w/that logic, I guess a Tax should be seen as a Fine? And now the U.S. Congress has fining powers on individuals merely because they exist? I'm sure James Madison and the rest of the men who put this thing together in the summer of 1787 would have liked to hear that one...and doesn't the house have some say on tax bills and how they originate?

Also, I don't look to the avg congressional repub to be worth a shit either - bunch of wimps. Repeal and Replace? How about just repeal and let the free market reign for a change? As someone else already mentioned, and I say this with sadness in my heart - buy ammo and be vigilant. I despairingly and unfortunately feel that in the future (maybe near) that there will only be one way to right the ship. Never thought I'd ever feel that way.

"SCOTUS - we make up Constitutional interpretations as we go along, and, if it's not in there, we'll find it!"

#14 Just remember, when the civil war does come, it's the Zombie Apocalypse, and the demonrats are the zombies.

I ran out of mercy a long time ago for them. Everytime I look at my tax return or W2 or even think about what this country is like now vs when I was growing up, I find myself thinking that certain parties could use a good kick in the forks, followed by a muzzle to forehead insurance policy.

The very fact I feel this way bothers me the most. So FUCK YOU very much demonrats.

That effectively describes my point of view also. In the upcoming producer v parasite battles, I expect brutality. The battles will start in California, the day after the state runs out of money to pay our police departments.

#17 Update from PJ Media: the Romney campaign says they've received $4.6 million in twenty four hours from 47,000 donors, up from $3.2mil overnight.

I find this immensely comforting.

#18 While at the hospital today for cadio workout I asked the Nurses what had been discussed about this Health care action. They are very concerned. Nobody knows. They had a meeting on this last week.

#19 The best comment I've seen all day.

#20 Roberts just used the Constitution to wipe Obama's ass. Game over, the American Experiment is over.

#21 All part of the ClowardPiven's strategy for crashing the system and having it replaced with a statist system based on social justice and redistribution of the wealth.

I am concerned about the next bunch of $hit coming down the pike: The UN administered Law of the Sea Treaty (Lost) which cedes considerable sovereignty to the UN. Hillary is pushing this. It basically has the potential to collect and redistribute part of our wealth to less developed countries. Surporisingly, there are quite a few pushing this such as the US Chamber of Commerce, Verizon, Hillary Clinton, John Fn Kerry and others. The Senate needs 34 votes to oppose this. Some 27 Senators have expressed their opposition to this treaty. I look for a push in the lame-duck session.

The UN Small Arms Treaty is being also being pushed by Hillary which neuters our 2nd Amendment.

Both of these treaties have been lying around for some years and are part of the collective fantasy of Progressives.

#22 If you do not have something the government thins you should have (health insurance in this case), you must pay a tax. Never has the US government taxed any one for what they do NOT have.

Crazy. That is why the Obama Admin will try to rename this as a "penalty", not a tax, which is what it is, an IRS enforced TAX.

They thought they slipped that by, but the Supremes shined the spot light on it.
