But for 9/11, Bush Jr's presidency would've been regarded similarly to his pappy's. Yeah, Pappy had Desert Storm, but that wasn't much more than a popcorn fart. Other than that, the greatest thing that occurred during Bush Sr's presidency was Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. Which, come to think of it, wasn't a bad thing...

SCOTUS upholds Obamacare, including the individual mandate.

PNN meltdown 5... 4... 3...

BAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Hack is gonna be pissed. The black dude won.

To everyone's surprise Kennedy - the assumed swing vote - voted with the dissenters. Roberts' vote joined with the usual liberals to save Obamacare.

Wow. Didn't see that coming.

Wow. Just wow. Freedom in America is dead.

Get ready for Washington to order us all to buy a defined amount of broccoli.

Roberts is the new Justice Kennedy. Appointed by a conservative president, but went to Washington and turned left.

Just like that guy in Wisconsin said...

"Get ready for Washington to order us all to buy a defined amount of broccoli."

They already order us not to smoke pot, what's the difference?

So limits commerce clause, but somehow is legal to tax...being alive. Not income, but simply being.

well hedge now they can tax you for not smoking it or anything else.

We will now be taxed if we fail to show up for our government calisthenics at 6:00 am.

We can always legislatively undo it if the will of the people is strong enough.

If you are over 50, you will be heavily taxed if you fail to submit to a government colonoscopy. And if you give your HHS compliance officer any lip, he/she is authorized to administer the procedure to you without anesthesia.

I guess we are all subjects now and not citizens.

Let's hope Yammamoto's words after Pearl Harbor applies.

Shaddup and spread your cheeks, #3659667, or you won't even get KY jelly.

Good, let the hate flow through you!

This just makes it imperative to get The Anoited One out of office...so we don't get more liberal judges on the SCOTUS. Looks like we need to have a 6-3 majority on the SCOTUS to get sanity on judicial review. Even Europe is laughing at us now.

And now, for a moment of graveyard humor, here are a few words from the standard-bearer of the Republican party, who will will lead the conservative opposition against the individual mandate:
