Anything that keeps unemployment high is good for the GOP, ergo it's good for America. What's so hard to understand?

It stays, because the states can do whatever they like (check your immigration status, probe your vagina, whatever.) Except for the obvious exceptions, like preventing billionaries and corporations from buying elections. That would be unconstitutional. (Corporations are billionaires too, my friend.)

Then again, given that Scalia's definition of "unconstitutional" is "Republicans don't like it", maybe Mass. residents can look forward to getting back their Constitutional right to the lack of health care. I look forward to reading all about Massachusetts's terrible liberal politics in his dissent.

I think it's the constant drumbeat from the right that drills stupidity into the gullible.

After two flawed decisions that draw not from the Constitution, but from policy and opinion, we wait hopefully for a third opinion that will set us free. </i>

"the program has turned into a corporate welfare slush fund for members of Congress <b>such as</b> Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina " That's what this sentence was intended to say, no? Seriously, when did it become common to use "wasteful", "unnecessary" and "duplicative" as shorthand for "it is not to my liking"?
