Welcome to the club.





Can rulings made by the Supreme Court be overturned?

 

[DrLeftover]

Yes, by a repeal of the law by Congress.



And since it has been declared a TAX, which Mr. Obama said he was against, do you think he'll support a repeal?

Health Care Should Never Be Purchased With Tax Increases On Middle Class Families.

Yes?

 

[Evil Eye]

Probably not. Or at least, not at this time.

Changing anything now would probably bring the entire thing crashing down.

Which means, get ready for rationing.

ABC news puts an interesting headline on it:

Did Chief Justice Roberts save the Supreme Court?



ABC 'Nightline' anchor Terry Moran joined Top Line for a special edition dissecting the Supreme Court's decision on health care, a blockbuster ruling which upheld President Obama's signature piece of legislation. And the president and supporters of the law were not the only victors.

Chief Justice John Roberts rode to the rescue of the Obama health care plan, and maybe rode to the rescue of the Supreme Court, as well, says Moran, who has been covering the Supreme Court for many years.
