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!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.)

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I will note that this is almost exactly what My History Can Beat Up Your Politics said would happen.

Yay, indeed.
I think what the thinky thinkers will need to think on is what this means for social welfare legislation. That is, the Court rejected the argument that it was valid under the Necessary & Proper part of the Commerce Clause which as been a catch-all for social welfare legislation, and trying to legislate these measures under the tax code might be much trickier.
