Because books.

The Cindy quote I repeat most often is, "These cats aren't going to stack themselves."

I still like, "Xander. In a Speedo. Wet."

Yay. And interesting about Roberts.

In your face, CNN!

ETA: they're walking it back:

Correction: The Supreme Court backs all parts of President Obama’s signature health care law, including the individual mandate that requires all to have health insurance.

They say Roberts' vote saved it - so it might be Kennedy was on the other side?

Quoting from SCOTUSblog: The money quote from the section on the mandate: Our precedent demonstrates that Congress had the power to impose the exaction in Section 5000A under the taxing power, and that Section 5000A need not be read to do more than impose a tax. This is sufficient to sustain it.

Am I the only one feeling extreme relief.

I didn't know I was holding my breath about SCOTUS on this issue until now.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

SCOUTS summarizes bottom line as entire ACA upheld, only the Medicaid bit being torn up a little.

My boss's wife just called to tell him the whole thing was upheld. I'm kind of confused by the varying reports.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
