Buffistas

And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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

My FB feed is already blowing up with posts saying things like "This is a CRUSHING BLOW for all business owners! No more jobs creation!"

Sullivan posted this tweet by Ben Shapiro:

This is the greatest destruction of personal liberty since Dred Scott. This is the end of America as we know it. No exaggeration.

Sullivan sez:

Nah. No exaggeration at all. Upholding slavery vs giving more people basic healthcare - no contest for the moral enormity of our current moment.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am so relieved.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Living in Massachusetts is DEFINITELY just like being a slave and/or living in Soviet Russia, in case anyone was wondering. There are no businesses or jobs and everyone just cries a lot.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

OH HELL NO. Someone is trying to drag me into doing a huge, incredibly complex proposal for them that they have been sitting on since the first week of June and is due July 3. (Or actually, July 2 since it has to be printed and shipped, which does not seem to have occurred to them.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Le Nubian, I would be interested in hearing what you think of Omnifocus. They've added a lot of functionality since I started with it and I strongly suspect I am way under using it...

I am commenting everywhere, because I figure selling the bill is our only chance for November. One thing I point out is that now people with pre-existing conditions will be able to become entrepreneurs without losing their health insurance, so they'll be able to start companies that create jobs.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Wow, I'm astonished: I had basically convinced myself that it would be overturned.

Scalia must be having a coronary: I wonder if that's why his dissent on the no-life-in-prison-for-juveniles case apparently reads like a screed from Fox News.

I'm so glad: it means that kids can stay on their parents' insurance plans, and pre-existing conditions won't be grounds for not getting insurance, and Medicaid will be extended to those making less than $30K/year. It's still not as good as single-payer, but it gets a lot of people out of using the ER as their only health care, and will save lives and homes.

Go Ginger! FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT!

this picture is a scream.

Hilarious!

Thanks, Sparky. You and SCOTUSblog are my only reliable news sources on this.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Scalia must be having a coronary

For which he cannot lose his healthcare as a pre-existing condition, were he not already set with really good government-provided health insurance.
