Waded through the slime swamp that is DemocraticUnderground dot com. Same old accusations (e.g., they claim republicans are sociopaths 100% against the will of the voters) spiced with outrage that Scalia laughed off the idea of reading all 2700 pages of the bill. A soon to be tomb-stoned DU’er noted that the bill had never been read so why start now. The rest of the pack were howling that it’s the job of the SCOTUS. I do recall Pelosi saying ‘we have to pass the bill so you can read it’ and then some senators admitting no one had ever read the whole thing.

Yeah, I remember when she said "We have to pass it, so we can see what's in it."

Where there's a shell, there's a way.

25 years ago, we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope.
Today we have Obama, no cash, and no hope!

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings.

How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).

And finally, this, dedicated to the one and only rdb2, whose eyes are growing dim.

Either way, the violin is sweet yet LETHAL.

Do it!

Thanks for the report. I remember when the bill was first passed, DU was in meltdown because it wasn’t single-payer, and was a “gift to the insurance companies”.

Now it sounds like they’re panicked that the bill they originally hated might go down in flames.

Liberals: anger, misery and outrage are the fuels they run on. Take those away, and they deflate like punctured balloons.

This and other tidbits make me laugh when I hear the Court give such deference to "the intent of Congress." How can Congress have any intent when the bill is too complex to be well understood by the legislators, and moreover is a catalog of arm-twisting earmarks and bargains? What a joke.

I just cannot believe that we taxpayers had to pay for the dems to write this piece of crap bill and now have to pay for both sides of this legal battle. This has to add up to hundreds of millions of dollars, just for the legal bills.
