Will 0 trash the place as Clinton’s idiots did?

Probably do him better. Invite a gigantic flash mob of yutes that, if he had one, would look like him. Have a gigantic beer summit first and then let them run wild and free over every square inch of the (racist named) White House.

They better leave Dubya’s new portrait alone!

I think he knows the vote and he wins. Then he’ll say the court voted the way he “advised” them to vote.

Although I can certainly understand that reasoning, I tend to disagree. I am more inclined to believe that a straw vote was taken in April, and it was in opposition to the constitutionality of ObamaCare. Probably 5-4.

Whether all of ObamaCare might be struck down (as seems reasonable to me, given the law's almost ostentatious lack of a so-called "severability clause"), or only part of it is given the heave-ho, in that event, remains to be seen. (But if the mandatory purchase of insurance is struck down--as I believe is very likely--it is hard to see, as a practical matter, what funding mechanism might be left to keep the rest of the law intact.)

I was so shocked when the thing passed. I never thought it would. I hope it is gone soon, whichever way that can come about. Have a great weekend.

I don’t think there is any possibility, given the last election that Congress critters will have an appetite for revisiting healthcare even if the Dems retook Congress.

So, his only way of addressing a SCOTUS healthcare slap down would be by fiat.

The flag high! The ranks tightly closed!
SA marches with a calm, firm pace.
Comrades whom Red Front and Reaction shot dead
March in spirit reborn in our ranks.
The streets for the brown battalions.
The streets for the stormtroopers!
It schau’n swastika, full of hope even millions.
The day of freedom and bread is dawning!
The last time storm alarm is sounded!
For the struggle we stand all ready!
Soon the Hitler banners will flutter over all roads.
The servitude will not last much longer!
The flag high! The ranks tightly closed!
SA marches with silent solid-step.
Comrades whom Red Front and Reaction shot dead
March in spirit within our ranks.

The MSMS lies! The ranks tightly closed!
OWS marches with a calm, firm pace.
Comrades whom Red States and Reaction shot dead
March in spirit reborn in our ranks.
The streets for the brown battalions.
The streets for the anarchists!
Long live the DNC, full of hope even millions.
The day of freedom and bread is dawning!
The last time storm alarm is sounded!
For the struggle we stand all ready!
Soon Obama banners will flutter over all roads.
The servitude will not last much longer!
The flag high! The ranks tightly closed!
ACORN marches with silent solid-step.
Comrades whom Red States and Reaction shot dead
March in spirit within our ranks.

Correct. Many businesses have already stopped covering their employees. The cost is too prohibitive. This Admin is implementing Obamacare and has been since it's passage two years ago. I just hope they haven't destroyed so much that we cannot recover and get our good health care back. Doctors are quitting or limiting their practices to the point that we will suffer even if the SCOTUS throws the whole thing out.
