Though I understand it&#039;s quite the popular swingin&#039; hot spot with <strike>conservative teens</strike> the conservative teen.
I&#039;ll still say it doesn&#039;t matter. Either the SCROTUS will uphold it (which would be correct based on the last 60 or 70 years of precedent, in my admittedly not-bar-association-approved view); or it will reject it, in which case the Democratic Party -- unless they are even more than usually slow to react -- will make this a central point of their 2012 campaign (&quot;See what happens with Republicans on the Supreme Court?&quot;). This should activate even those who don&#039;t like the ACA because it doesn&#039;t go far enough.
Plenty of court watchers were predicting a 6-3 vote to uphold with Roberts joining (or maybe even authoring) the majority threading a needle explaining how the ability to mandate <em>only</em> applies to healthcare.
The reason being that (a) unlike Alito and Thomas, Roberts is actually slightly bothered that chunks of the populace think his obvious right-wing activist shilling is political, and (b) he wants to keep his powder dry to really upset the apple cart with more far-reaching abandonments of long-standing precedent later in the term.
Kennedy actually seemed far more hostile to the government&#039;s arguments than Roberts did in the transcript. I was annoyed that the Solicitor General failed to think of a useful answer to Kennedy&#039;s challenge &quot;why can&#039;t the government force you to buy a cell phone? You might need one after a car accident&quot;; obvious answer: &quot;you can use a govt-provided roadside phone, or you can borrow someone else&#039;s (e.g. mom&#039;s) cell for the trip, or you can flag down another driver and have them call for help, or a local resident might call for you - plenty of alternatives to using a cell; but you can&#039;t borrow someone else&#039;s health insurance to cover a kidney transplant&quot;; Gen. Verrilli&#039;s answer was basically &quot;um uh well you can&#039;t because uhm it&#039;s different&quot; - unconvincing.
He was fortunate to die at a young age, instead of living a long and pointless life and ending up as a &#039;California&#039; version of Patrick Buchanan. And Che probably wouldn&#039;t have aged well either.

I spell it Deadfuckhead.

Okay, I&#039;m an optimist.
Thanks. Saved me a reply.
And, of course, the evil that Breibart did lives after him (cf., everything).
Seriously, the most appropriate comment of the day.
Sharts and Darts!
I think Butt Karaoke ought to be a real thing though.

That&#039;s what happens when your headband is too tight.
That&#039;s it! I&#039;m sinning nonstop from here on in, to see who&#039;s next...

So how does that distinguish it from the original?
That&#039;s not easy to fap to.
In honor of their fallen hero, they should all commit racist acts of libel and get sued.
I&#039;ll speculate that the protester with that county fair rendition of Brietfart has probably used Planned Parenthood at least once.
