I love having chat at work because it means I almost never have to use the phone.

The Affordable Care Act, including its individual mandate that virtually all Americans buy health insurance, is constitutional.

That is WONDERFUL.

Which is part of why I don't like chat for work: the lack of documentation.

Oh, our chat sessions are saved in Outlook just like emails (we use MS Messenger and the chats all go to an Outlook folder called Conversations).

Sparky,

one of my friends went to undergrad with Sotomayor. I just dropped my friend a note about the decision.

Thank you for explaining to those of us without a JD!

sarameg,

my email is like that as well. my email connected to followupthen is like having a another brain for real. I bought Omnifocus because I think I need the next level of organization.

Yeah, I pulled into the work parking lot just as they were announcing on public radio (quoting MSNBC or some big media) that the individual mandate had been declared unconstitutional.

Then five minutes later I had my laptop in the office listening to the same station saying it had been upheld.

Fun!

(Although I was expecting the mandate to be overturned, so the false report didn't surprise me.)

Also, Happy Birthday, David!!

And Matilda needs a blog for all her words of wisdom.

I knew that the Chief Justice was a really nice guy (no, really! he's to the bone a nice person) but I am still surprised.

He's also the only Maryland resident, and he knows of my lost dog.

I will note that this is almost exactly what My History Can Beat Up Your Politics said would happen.

Obamacare is constitutional! Woot!

I actually managed to start my laundry! Woot!

I am do relieved to see the answers here! I haven't checked other news sources yet, so Sparky is where I got it. Yay healthcare!!

Glory hallelujah.

Now the Dems have to finally sell the advantages before November.
