| #9 Politico has another article on this subject. In this article Obama is quoted as follows: “The rugged individualism that defines America has always been bound by a set of shared values; an enduring sense that we are in this together,” Obama plans to say, according to excerpts released Tuesday morning by the White House. “That we have an obligation to put ourselves in our neighbor’s shoes, and to see the common humanity in each other.” I find it highly ironic that he starts out talking about "rugged individualism" and then shifts so smoothly to "common humanity" as if they are not diametrically opposed concepts, as if individuals who take responsibility for themselves must allow those who do not to steal from them. It's classic double think. Most likely the justices can see through it and this statement is meant for the proles. But there's still no telling what the justices will do. Roberts has gotten to be the joker in the deck. |

| #8 None of the alleged horrors have come to pass? My health insurance went up another 20%. On top of the last 20%. On top of the initial 20% it went up the day Obamacare passed. That 20% keeps getting bigger, if anyone does math anymore. |

| #7 Paraphrasing Andrew Jackson "Mr Roberts has made his decision. Now let us see him enforce it." |

| #5 How dare anyone actually believe in that wretched old piece of paper written by a bunch of white slave owners! Obey me! You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God. (do I need to put a /sarc on that?) |

| #4 Yet the Obama administration has faced criticism for declining the spell out what its contingency plan is if the court rules that way… Oh they got a plan alright. They’ll feign righteous indignation and quickly blame republicans in congress for not having a fix. |

| #3 Trying to bring pressure on SCOTUS to decide in favor of the AFA subsidies? He doesn't give a flip about the concept of three co-equal branches of government--he'd really like to be a dictator. |

| #2 ...At this point - even with the horrifying chaos a decision against the ACA would cause - I would like to think that within the last few days there was a very quiet, frank meeting at the White House where someone laid it on the table: the decision is almost certainly going to go against us, and we're going to be stuck with whatever happens next. If the GOP wants to, they can hang us high on this one, and there's nothing we can do about it. Interesting times.... Mike |

| #1 The court decision, expected any day, could have far-reaching implications because millions would lose their insurance if the court rules against the administration. Maybe they should've read it before they passed it. Haste makes waste! |
