    I hate to say this but I don't think it will matter what the courts say. The bureaucracy is born, they never ever die. The bureaucracy can be stalled but they just move backwards and sideways and issue more regulations. Some rules get killed, but the bureaucrat knows they can reissue in a different way and just keep pushing. The bureaucracy can afford to be patient - it doesn't have to make money or justify its existence.

    That's why the Democrats were willing to whore the bill into law using anything they had to. The whole point was to establish the framework of the bureaucracy. The rest can be done over time in sub committee back rooms and by administration 'Czars'. Judges can't rule a bureaucracy away - they can only stop a particular action or regulation. And with a significant part of congress behind them - they just keep chopping wood. The bureaucracy tree just keeps growing regulation fruit. Judges can rule some of the fruit bad, sometimes congress can prune the tree, but it just keeps growing bigger and producing more fruit. Nobody ever chops this type of tree down once its planted.

    And I hate it

    Depends - you gotta ask yourself a question in each of these things. Do you think its good or bad?
    If you like it or think its good- 'Tell Obama THANKS';
    If you don't like it or think its bad "Bushey Boy did it"

    Its so easy a caveman could make it up.

    But it is. I don't look to others for things I need and I help those whom I choose to help. In being a self sufficient "me" person, I ended up with a job, a few bucks to spend and health insurance. Maybe those 30 million or so who don't have insurance should have been more like me.

    I have ended up with all those things, too. But it hasn't made me selfish and incompassionate. You could lose your coverage, too. I know working people with money that can't get affordable heath insurance due to insurance company policies to help themselves, not through any laziness on their part.

    If I lose my coverage, I'll find some more. I'll do what I need to do. I won't sit on my ass waiting for the government to do something about it.

    I am neither selfish nor incompassionate. I just don't want bleeding heart politicians deciding where my charity should be dispensed.

    And I'll wager that those working people with money who can't find affordable health insurance manage to keep a cell phone, nice car, flat screen TVs, cable, modem, dinner out, vacations, Christamas gifts for relatives...you get my drift.

    No he won't, because he can't make it past the part where some people have so much GD money that they can just lay around and burn it all day long. Those people, those SOB's how dare they be that effing rich. They should pick up the tab for everyone else that wasn't so fortunate. I know, pitiful right?

    If you have something to say, say it. But don't ever try to speak for me.

    OK, what will you do? You have diabetes and heart disease and AIG fires you for being old. You have no group insurance and no private insurer will take you because of pre-existing conditions. So what exactly are you going to do? Either pay all costs out of your pocket if you're rich or go to charity hospital if you are poor. Either way the government takes care of the indigent and the rich take care of themselves and hard-working middle calls individuals are left out in the cold. We're all one major illness away from bankruptcy.

    Opinions differ.

    Ask Steve the restauranteur about non-group insurance. Ask anyone you know that has it. It's WAY expensive and you can't get it with pre-existing conditions.

    first page in the liberal playbook, cast conservatives as selfish and incompassionate.

    liberalism isnt about fixing things. it is about feeling like you are fixing things.
