Supreme Court ObamaCare

But then again, is it not the United States, not the independent sovereign states of America? Is it not a critical feature of our great country and our glorious constitution that the citizens of the United States are equally afforded the opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If the citizens of the United States decide that they desire that all are able to receive the opportunity for emergency care, is it not their right?

They can... as long as the operate under the constitution... that's the reason this is in front of the Supreme Court... there was enough evidence that there may be a breach of our constitution. And that document has held up for 235 years, I think it will survive... no matter who wants what.

You're confusing it with the Declaration of Independence.

The U.S. Constitution is 224 years old. (September 17th 1787)

You're welcome.

Don't get him wound up again. If he can't rattle on with his drivel about "general government" and his 18th-Century bullcrap he's just not a happy camper....

It's too bad that the conservatives on the court were just rehashing material straight out of the teabagger blogs and letting it pass for "arguments." Even Scalia...(bless his little pointed head)...was going on about "broccoli" and the "Cornhusker Kickback"...(The only problem is that the so-called "Cornhusker Kickback" was removed from the bill before it was passed...)

But hey, don't let facts confuse you when you're on a mission... The best SCOTUS that money can buy....

It was adopted on September 17, 1787. That's why we celebrate Constitution Day on that date.

Isn't it a bummer when a few appointed judges turn over a law passed by Congress and signed by the POTUS?

I wonder if this decision got personal? Remember a couple years ago when Obama criticized the Supreme Court for their decision on campaign finance. This could be the ultimate FU to the POTUS. Take down Obama's greatest accomplishment because they didn't like the President attacking them on national TV.
