Point 1: Conservative interneters who are comforting themselves in the delusion that John Roberts just handed them a gift by "gutting" the Commerce Clause are just poking through the shit sandwich of today's ruling looking for a pickle.
And think about it: these assholes are comforting themselves that while there still might be an increase in HEALTH CARE INSURANCE OWNERSHIP among the American populace, maybe! maybe! maybe! down the road the court will now! finally! be able to UNDO CIVIL RIGHTS LEGISLATION. And they boo gay active duty military. Special place in Hell, people, special place in Hell.
John Roberts may be a conservative dick, but he considers himself a higher class of people than you Tea Party Glenn Beck ejaculators, and I am convinced that the reason he voted today the way he did is, very simply, he does not want to be associated with you people.
Point 2: Shame on you, Nancy Pelosi, for claiming that Ted Kennedy can now rest knowing that this extremely conservative version of health insurance reform has been upheld by a conservative Chief Justice, while corporations are people even in Montana, and the unemployment rate is above 8 and the national minimum wage is below 8. Ted Kennedy can rest because he's dead. The cause still endures and the dream shall never die and THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER because the greed has not stopped.
Point 3: What The American Bear said. It would have been awful if the in the tank Supremes had overturned this. But this is still a victory for private insurance companies and big pharma. Victory dance, with a twist toward single payer, bitchez.

A reader asks BG about the Debt Ceiling Deal
Reader C. writes:
Hey Driftglass & Bluegal. I really enjoy listening to your podcast every week. In the next couple of days I will be donating to your podcast cause so the shows keeps coming. I was just wondering how you felt about this debt ceiling fiasco. Will the American people understand the dilemma President Obama has been put in with this tea party faction in the House? With this media environment I am not sure if the blame will be properly placed. I realize that he is known for being the 'compromiser in chief' but I'm not sure if he had a way out of this mess. Any thoughts?
Dear C:
I'm sure we'll be talking about this this coming week and of course we were talking about it this weekend -- we agree that if Obama wasn't such a process guy -- if he'd said "negotiate around the debt ceiling, are you kidding? No, pass a clean bill and THEN we'll talk" -- he would have had a stronger position.
He still thinks* of himself as Google plus's Senator plus one, instead of the President. Collegiality may be his secret to "changing Washington," but the Tea Party's secret is a bottle of gasoline and a match. We can all see how this is working out for him.
Best,
Fran / BG
*My disappointment is, I'm finally coming to the conclusion he's not going to change in the second term.
