Political world reacts to Supreme Court ruling on health care
DEMOCRATS
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi: “This decision is a victory for the American people. With this ruling, Americans will benefit from critical patient protections, lower costs for the middle class, more coverage for families, and greater accountability for the insurance industry.
[…]
“In passing health reform, we made history for our nation and progress for the American people. We completed the unfinished business of our society and strengthened the character of our country. We ensured health care would be a right for all, not a privilege for the few.
“Today, the Supreme Court affirmed our progress and protected that right, securing a future of health and economic security for the middle class and for every American.”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: “I’m happy, I’m pleased to see the Supreme Court put the rule of law ahead of partisanship and ruled that the Affordable Care Act is constitutional.
“No longer will Americans live in fear of losing their health insurance because they lose a job. No longer will tens of millions of Americans rely on emergency room care or go without care entirely because they have no insurance at all. Soon, virtually every man, woman and child in America will have access to health insurance they can afford and the vital care they need.
“Passing the Affordable Care Act was the greatest single step in generations towards ensuring access to affordable, quality healthcare for every person in America, regardless of where they live or how much money they make.”
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: “You know, I haven’t had the chance to read the decision. I literally just heard as we landed that the Supreme Court has upheld the health care law. Obviously I want to get into the details, but I’m very pleased. That’s how I hoped it would turn out. I think its a great moment to just think about what this will mean for the millions and millions of Americans who have already benefited from the Affordable Care Act and so many more who will continue to do so. There will be a lot of work to do to get it implemented and understand what the opinion says, but obviously I was quite excited to hear the results.”
MoveOn, a Democratic group: “Today, justice was upheld. But the fact that the Affordable Care Act was ever in jeopardy shows how politicized this court has become. All too often, this 1% Court has legislated from the bench on behalf of corporations and the wealthy instead of acting as fair arbiters of the law.
The next president will nominate as many as three new justices, setting the court’s direction for a generation. There’s every reason to believe Mitt Romney would try to put more 1% justices on the court. MoveOn will dedicate our energy and resources to reelecting President Obama to ensure more fair-minded justices are seated on the court.”
U.S. Senate Candidate Tim Kaine of Virginia:
“The Affordable Care Act is an important first step in curbing discriminatory insurance company practices and increasing access to health care, but more needs to be done to bring down costs. Our government, businesses, and citizens cannot continue to spend more than any other nation on health care while getting second-rate results. As Senator, I am committed to working with all stakeholders to find additional improvements to the Affordable Care Act that give all Americans affordable access to high quality services.
Democratic National Committee Executive Director Patrick Gaspard (via Twitter): “it’s constitutional. Bitches.”
Update from Gaspard (via Twitter): “I let my scotus excitement get the better of me. In all seriousness, this is an important moment in improving the lives of all Americans.”
Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona: “Today the Supreme Court affirmed that Romneyare is constitutional.”
House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers, (D-Mich.): “Today is a historic day. The Affordable Care Act can now takes its rightful place among this nation’s other critical efforts to ensure that the basic human needs of all Americans are met. Just as our Social Security and Medicaid systems provide a critical safety net to older Americans, the Affordable Care Act will help make health care more affordable and accessible for all.
House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson: “The Supreme Court decision today is a great victory for children with pre-existing conditions, for women who have been unfairly discriminated against, and the start to providing a solid groundwork for ensuring that all Americans can get the care they need.”
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel: “This is a historic day, made possible by tremendous courage shown by President Obama. Because of the president’s courage, kids coming home from college will have access to their parents’ healthcare. Because of his courage, seniors will have help accessing affordable prescription drugs. Because of his courage, people with pre-existing and chronic conditions will not be denied access to health insurance. That’s what political courage is.
The President had the courage to bend the needle of history and did something presidents have tried to do for 60 years.”
[If you really must know what the Rethugs said, go read the article]
Love your last line!–if you really must know what the repubs said..(article link). Ha! That’s just priceless. Lol š Just like I watched the video of the president’s statement, but totally disregarded Romney’s. I don’t really care what he has to say. Like all pathological liars, I just stop listening to them after a while š
š
Dudette, thanks for sharing these comments. Because I don’t want anything to spoil this day I am satisfied with what you shared.
My fave:
Democratic National Committee Executive Director Patrick Gaspard (via Twitter): “it’s constitutional. Bitches.”
——————–
Update from Gaspard (via Twitter): “I let my scotus excitement get the better of me. In all seriousness, this is an important moment in improving the lives of all Americans.”
Yeah, while I like his enthusiasm and his fighting spirit, not exactly the most professional of responses. I do wish he hadn’t tweeted that.
You’re right, I know you’re right. But it felt good! š
WORD Isonprize. I said the same thing the moment it was posted in an earlier thread. There are a lot of things I would “like” us to say to the Rethugs in the other party but our President always asks us to rise above that stuff. I was glad to see that he corrected himself.
Also, the media is always much harder on us for this stuff than they are the Repubs.
2nd fave:
Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona: “Today the Supreme Court affirmed that Romneyare is constitutional.”
Yeah, Justice Ginsburg used the Massachusetts health care law that Romney created to justify the majority opinion. GOTTA LOVE HER!!!
Plus, she is just the smartest and cutest little old lady!!!
(Please forgive the GOPolitico link, but it’s got great commentary from Justice Ginsburg.)

Boehner looks like he is chewing on a nest of wasps! Can’t wait until Nancy takes her rightful place as Speaker in Jan along with our wonderful President’s second term.
This photo says it all about who they are and what our politics have become.
I’m so happy for the President and the American people.
I remember Cantor’s face when the last job report came out…he had his permanent arrogant grin on his face and said ”This report is pathetic” but we all knew he was thrilled.
Didn’t see the grin today….
Karma!
Aww, I just caught the photo of PBO walking with Teddy Kennedy! Chips is making my cry again! Now stop that!

Ugh! Boner’s at the podium. Odd ringing in my ear. Take to go back to work!
Time to go back to work. Catch you guys later.
So is one Stanley Ann Dunham. Her struggles battling cancer and insurance companies were his inspiration for this mission. She would be… no, IS so proud of him today.
Mission accomplished!
She is sending her beautiful son a kiss from the heavens. Thank you, Dr. Stanley Ann Dunham for such a brilliant son and a brilliant president.HZ
I gratefully second that emotion.
Rand Paul is a fucking idiot. http://crooksandliars.com/nicole-belle/rand-paul-just-because-scotus-says-it
Rand Paul: Just Because SCOTUS Says It’s Constitutional, ‘Doesn’t Make It So’
YEA!!! Can we get rid of CU now??? What a buffoon.
Prime example of why we need to invest in education in this country.
That any school gave this fool a degree in anything is a complete travesty! They should have their accreditation, if they have/had any, yanked right away!
Baylor ungrad, Duke Medicine… must’ve been the daddy-donor scholarship that won him the degrees
And some MSM pundits say Aqua Budda has a future as a POTUS candidate.
Not while this Earth is spinning..
He’s too angry to be POTUS. His likibility numbers would be through the floor.
Unfortunately, my brother is a died in the wool Ron Paul supporter and has recently added Rand Paul to his list of only two good politicians. Think it is easy for me to relate to him?
And I saw that genius from Indiana, Mike Pence, who is always tweeting a bunch of religious stuff and Bible verses, said this awful decision is similar to 9/11. What??? Can these people be any more dense and wrongheaded? A bunch of looney birds —–I mean real looney—–have infiltrated our government.
To be fair, I don’t think Paul is saying this in the legal, pragmatic sense, now that the Court has ruled. He simply affirms his opinion that the ruling is wrong. Let’s be honest: if Roberts had voted with the other conservative judges, wouldn’t we react the same way ? We would say that the five conservative judges were WRONG. I’m very happy the law was upheld, but we can’t forget that it is a split decision, a narrow decision 5-4. In the political sense, it’s not clear-cut. So siding with the minority is not buffoonery.
That being said, we know that a good majority of constitutional scholars think that ACA is indeed constitutional, and that makes Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas and Alito look pretty radical if not irresponsible.
Well said lovepolitics2008. Just like the Citizens United ruling was wrong and the one imposed on MT to many it is OK or they are taking advantage of this very wrong ruling. ACA was the right ruling and should have been 9 to 0 upholding the legislation.
Very good points, lovepolitics. I was thinking the same, but you’ve said it better. Just like I thought it was wrong for the Supremes to rule that it was constitutional for billionaires and corporations to buy our elections (i.e., “citizens united”). I’ve gotten much more “into the weeds” of these things since I’ve been studying law–I’m studying to be a paralegal right now (my 3rd career and will be my 3rd degree as well, but won’t go into all that right now). But, yes, we do need to keep these things in mind. In reading some of the opinion (haven’t had time to read, study, and analyze the whole thing yet), it’s interesting that the majority of this particular court wouldn’t have upheld the law under the commerce clause–which was the main argument and one I actually agreed with (the government having the power to regulate interstate commerce–which Roberts actually thought the law fell short in that regard). But did uphold the constitutionality under government’s “taxing authority”, regarding the mandate as, in effect, a tax. Where we stand now under the commerce clause theory is a bit of a mystery now to me though, as far as the precedent-setting of this decision. Guess I will need to read more of the reasoning when I have more time š
This is what entitlement looks like…these people think they are above the law. They will not hesitate to tell others what to do, but they think that they can do whatever the hell they want to do.
ThinkProgress spoke with Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) outside the Court immediately following the decision today affirming the constitutionality of Obamacare. Gohmert, apoplectic over the ruling, directed his anger towards Justice Elena Kagan, who he claims likely āviolated federal lawā by voting on the Obamacare decision after serving as Solicitor General when the law was passed. āShe needs to be removed from the Supreme Court,ā he cried, calling for her impeachment. As such, Gohmert said todayās decision upholding Obamacare is āillegitimate.ā
Ha! Rand Paul is not the only buffoon………
No…Rand is not the only baffoon…unfortunately
Louie Gohmert is apoplectic from the time he gets out of bed until going to bed. What a nut..
lol perfect description Bill.
Chips, Please keep this one handy for right after the election.
Chips, have I told you lately how precious you are to all of us. Well, (((((((((((( Chips, you are the most precious glorious gift to all of us)))))))))))))))
Thank you, thank you. HZ
They look like they are saying ” Really, you thought it wouldn’t be upheld? Really?”
‘k, now I really must go! See you later, Fam!! š
some idiot named Nicole is doing Randi’s show. WTF? where’s Randi?
vacation…still listening. For now…till she pisses me off. I find her irritating
me too. but i stopped listening and went to c-span to watch the Holder vote. Nancy Smash speaking.
wow, I did the same thing. She gets on my last nerve and around this time of the time, I only have one left. Always coddling to the other side but can be down right evil when its comes to PBO. I get emails from Randi and I am going to let her know that her fill in truly sucks. Same with Rev. Al….his fill in is some idiot named egglashawn sp?
KEEP SMILING, THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE, MR. PRESIDENT!

Another baffoon.
You knew that was coming. Have they made the Nazi comparison yet?
Someone did actually …who that was, escapes me.
Oh come on…they’re nuts!

That goes without saying. š

President Obama has a very winning smile. – The founder of Aikido quote: “No matter how heavily armed your opponent is, you can use the Art of Peace to disarm him/her. When someone comes in anger, greet him with a smile. That is the highest kind of martial art.” ~ Morihei Ueshiba
wise words
Nancy Smash talking now on C-span in the House.
I cannot believe the RWNJ who want to move to Canada because they hate Obamacare, I don’t know how many times I saw this today…..they hate government but want to move to a country with a government run health care system, single payer…..it’s so stupid.
I find it f**king hilarious. Don’t think they’ll make it though. Canada requires that you be employable and not completely nuts. (We grow our own nuts here.)
I am a long time addict (and I mean addict) of this wonderful site. I seldom comment these days, but I’m here several times a day, starting first thing in the morning, checking in. I love everything about what Chips has created here. As far as I’ve found, there’s nothing like it on the web. The community, the support, the fun, the incredible hard work that so many here do, the twitter brigade, the wonderful links. It’s an awesome space, and run by an awesome human being. As many have said, I can’t believe how informed I am (even about soccer!) and I seldom go anywhere else for news these days. Ever since Chips hit 10,000,000 I’ve been meaning to donate $100 to celebrate and thank her, and I have to hurry because it’s almost 11,000,000. I was so happy to see everyone’s page listed, so I divided that up among you all. I can’t thank you all enough for what you do, for being here, for having this utterly amazing man’s back every step of the way.
And here’s another brilliant thing from Team Obama — I was a little daunted at filling in my info 15 times, but discovered after a few that, with the exception of my card number, it was filled in for me. Cool.
You Rock betseyc and thank you so much for the donations!!!
OMG, betseyc, you’re the sweetest!!
Thank you so much for the donations, Betsy – and congratulations on coming out of lurkdom! š
I needed the electric smile…the Germans are down 0-2 !!!

Nancy Smash is KICKING ASS.
She is walking the fuck off the floor and told the Dems go for it.
CSPAN now.
Will see if she actually does it.
Nancy Smash says she’s walking out because what Issa is doing is “unconscionable” and “unbelievable.” She said she had planned to vote no, but she’s going to walk out with CBC. She’s saying that this whole thing is ridiculous and an abuse of power and a waste of time.
Issa Pissa accidentally called Nancy Smash “the Speaker” – you bet, baby, she’ll be back with the gavel after November.
I will now take a nap and dream of sweeter things, rather than watch one branch of government led by Republican dogs forget about the separation of powers for this CONTEMPTIBLE VOTE. Hey, Issa – Pissa on ya.
some dumbass named Shaffetz came on in rebuttal and yelling up a storm saying that thousands of people died because of gun walking, yada, yada, yada. pure bullshit. someone called that bitch on his lies.
can’t listen to any more of these lying teabags. It makes me so mad. a-holes. š”
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) is an irritating shallow loud mouth.
that guy was such an ass. spewing pure bs. what an ass.
He’s one of the Young Guns rising stars in the GOP. Moron.
ANOTHER baffoon
Fortunately snappy, mad, nasty forty something white guys are not the future of the country.
Why all the focus about what Republicans are saying?! WHO CARES. We knew if it went in our favor that they would a) continue their lies about it and b) not like it. Let’s enjoy this victory!
Mother celebrates Health Care Ruling Because Her Children Can’t Be Denied Coveage
Never trust a repug, especially when they use the phrases: “trust me,” “I promise” or “i give you my word.” —fastest way to get fucked over and not like it.
Another word that they use that drives me to drink is “the American people”. They have no earthly idea what the American people want or desire. 9 times out of 10 it is the exact opposite of what they are saying.
Ok, the repubs don’t drive to drink. I picked up drinking in the Navy. They drive me to ahhhhh, spit. Yeah, that’s it and that is awful for a women to do.
Issa has a giant picture of Agent Terry on the floor of the House
Disgraceful and exploitive
no class. He sealed the fate for Republicans.
They made it clear to everyone that they are all lunatics.
did all the dems walk out? I saw that POS talking with this blown up picture behind him, and get off. I can’t listen to that lying crook.
No. currently they are taking the vote on the motion to refer the resolution so no not yet. When they introduce Issa’s bs motion, they will walk.
At least another 15 – 20 mins before that happens.
What ho TOD peeps! Such a glorious, glorious day for our country thanks to our illustrious Prez. So glorious in fact that I decided to dip my toes–tentatively and in the shallow end :lol:– of the Twitter pool. My handle: @purpleshoesla (natch). My first official tweet:
Have a fantastic day everyone. Am donating to everyone’s FR pages today. It’s Money Bomb-tastic!
GREAT, we need as many in our TOD Twitter Brigade as possible. Following!
Thanks. I am following you now too! At least I think I am! š Ooh boy this is gonna be an adventure! š
It’s great fun. I noticed you locked your account. That’s fine, just realize that means no one can re-tweet you. Enjoy!!
Still wending my way through the help pages…. think I changed that setting now. Thanks 4 the tip! š
GOOD GIRL! I’ll follow you as soon as I get enough followers to get past my 2002 follow limit imposed by silly Twitter.
Welcome to Twitter. I just followed you. š
Hi purpleshoesla, I am following you now (@bbkenn92) and live in LA as well. Welcome to this glorious site! So pumped up by the fantastic result!
Afternoon everyone. Allow me a little OT posting, but I began writing something last night that might turn into a novel. I wanted to share the first two paragraphs and get reaction.
Oh my goodness LL, this is stunning. The first thing that drew me in was your brilliant use of imagery. The cold gray world, indifference breeding evil and sprouting broad heavy leaves, the visual of the old man dying, violence and horror. Another thing that struck me is the detachment of the protagonist – I don’t know if he’s the protagonist, but I’ll just refer to him as such for now – he’s hesitant to claim a name. he’s hesitant to be somebody. He’s hesitant to be in the moment. This hesitance is so cleverly woven into the plot and the reader find himself/herself taking on the character of Isaac. The reader becomes Isaac and experiences everything he experiences. There is also a sense of realism that resonated with me. The wondering about what life really and truly is about. The welcoming of death. The thirst to spread pain.
I find myself wondering who is Isaac? What has he experienced? What makes him so detached? What is his occupation? What troubles and ails him? Why is he so fascinated with death and dying? Why is there no color in his life? Am I Isaac? Is he pointing out an emptiness in my life? Is he pointing out the drudgery in my life? Is he pointing out that I have lived a monolithic inconsequential life? Who are the “They” Isaac references that saps the energy of most of us? Who is Isaac and ultimately, who am I?
This is just brilliant LL. Just brilliant. Thank you for posting. Post more in the future because I really and truly am curious.
Well, I was watching a documentary last night on 20th century music — “Orchestral Music in the 20th Century” — and I won’t disclose how I came about the files (tee hee). The episode I watched was about Shostakovich, and his struggles with Stalin. The documentary had some excerpts from his memoirs, and I just extrapolated from that.
The novel might take place in the present, the past, or the future. I think I’m going to keep it intentionally vague.
Thank you for your kind words. They’re as manna to a writer.
LL, that is beautiful, I have a great desire to continue reading, and find out what happens next! Keep up the good work!
What ACA does…and when those things will take effect
http://www.randirhodes.com/pages/rrnews.html?feed=393046&article=9945405
A MUCH CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF ACA AND WHAT HAPPENS IN EACH YEAR
http://www.healthcare.gov/law/timeline/full.html#2012
Thanks so much for sharing that, desertflower! Very informative.
Even though Agent Terry has nothing to with this contempt vote, that bitch Issa has a blown up pic of the agent behind him as he speaks. what a fucking waste of space! Can you imagine all the other more worthy people who could be alive now, but instead we have to contend with a living, breathing Darrell Issa. {{SMH}} what a fucking moron. As much as I despise the two, I’d rather watch a bunch of snakes and alligators debating and running the congress that idiots like Issa and Bonehead.
That chamber should be PLASTERED with every single solitary person that has EVER been killed by gun violence and the NRA that has enabled these KILLERS to have guns! He’s such a fucking hypocrite…and this whole charade is going nowhere after today…he’s a disgusting pig
President Obama pushed to have the ACA heard by the Supreme Court at this point in time, believing it to be constitutionally sound. He took that very big risk before the election for a reason. He is vindicated and victorious today.
tweet that meta!!! I’ll RT the hell out of it!
okey dokey!
he’s shown us again and again that he has courage, heart, intelligence, and a steady hand on the controls. what an amazing president! and i loved that he gave his statement about the scotus ruling from the same podium, in the same hallway, where he announced the take-down of osama bin laden. subtle message: yes i can!!
Lovely!
Just back from a meeting – listening to one Trey Gowdy. Who the hell is he? Not much of an orator, he’s giving me a headache listening to him (nice ‘do, too). So can anyone educate me on what happens next? I thought I heard that one of Holder’s subordinates would have to do the next step and that Holder could ultimately stop the process? That’s pretty funny, if so.
Yeah, since the Attorney General is head of the Department of Justice. Um, I think he’s not going to bring charges against himself. What a WASTE OF TIME!!
JOBS, WHERE ARE THE JOBS BILLS!!!!!???????
I asked Boehner’s aide that very question about the jobs this morning when I called his office. He said he would pass it on to the Speaker. That whole Republican Congress is a Waste of Space.
Congratulations America! Republicans screwed you again with a sham…was it good for you? NOTHING will happen to AG Holder….this is the end of the line for this stupidness…Republicans just love to hear themselves talk like they’re righteous

Confidence in U.S. Medical System Up Since Health Law Passed
Forty-one percent now confident, compared with 36% in 2009
by Jeffrey M. JonesPRINCETON, NJ — Forty-one percent of Americans tell Gallup they have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in the U.S. medical system. Americans’ confidence has been a bit higher since the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, and is much higher than the 2007 low point.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/155381/Confidence-Medical-System-Health-Law-Passed.aspx
I know I am….
I don’t know how many Democrats are going to walk out……..
First it was bricks through the window and now it’s armed rebellion…smh.
http://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/17151
there are a lot of things that comes out of Willard’s mouth that I’m amazed by, but his bullshit about “repealing and replacing ObamaCare,” is the biggest load of shit ever. š
Ezra Klein–Sir brain– is now telling us what Willard will do to ACA when he comes into office. Apparently he can’t immediately repeal it but he can refuse to pay for it. Thanks Ezra. š
How does Klein-Sir brain- know that Willard will “come into office?” Is there something he’s aware of that we don’t know?
There are still too many ignorant people on the radio calling into left wing radio shows with the right wing talking points. These same left wing hosts who blame the President and the Democrats for bad messaging, can’t articulate clearly the benefits of the ACA, what’s already is in effect and working, what will happen in 2014. Because it was implemented in stages to protect the insurance companys and a large percentage of people get their insurance through their employers, businesses, people on medicare, people who buy private insurance are the only ones who see and feel that the ACA is working for them. Workers who are able to keep their 18 – 26yr olds on their employer provided health insurance area benefiting from this remarkable legislation.
When these republicans go on the radio and teevee that complain about being forced to buy insurance are forced to buy auto insurance and cry socialism. They have no idea what socialism is or means. They have no problem with socialized police department, socialized city services, socialized fire departments, socialized public education that they are forced to attend if you don’t attend private school. They are OK with socialism when these same people stand in line and apply for their social security and medicare.
Obama’s Supreme Court Health Care Victory Hard To Overstate

Boom! http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/06/28/508503/4-reasons-why-republicans-wont-be-able-to-repeal-obamacare/
Are the Dems walking out of the house now? Is that what I’m seeing?
Looks like the Dems are waking out right now…
They’re walking out of the House! They’re on the capitol steps now.
THANK THE BLOODY UNIVERSE! THAT’S WHAT WE WERE HOPING THEY WOULD DO AND NOW IT’S DONE.
Check and see if your state’s propaganda mouthpiece is on the list…AND CALL, Tweet…whatever

Mine voted no DF and it’s damned good thing too, because I called both their asses this morning.
Dems have walked out. now about to make a statement
Ron Christie tells Martin that selling health insurance across state lines would be an alternative to ACA.
Bill, Ron Christie has a problem seeing things clearly even with his new glasses. I can remember when he made Ronald Reagan liberal son angry claiming to know so much about the man’s father.
Ron Christie is a patheic suck up. He really makes me sick.
Who’s the Republican who voted against it?
Democratic leader and Democratic Whip walked out with the majority of the dems without voting. 65 (and counting) voted No on holding AG Holder in Contempt. 18 Dems voted yes to hold him in contempt. 1 Dem voted Present. 239 republicans voted yes to hold AG Holder in contempt. 1 Republican voted No 2 NV remaining for Repubs
Who is that one brave Repub who voted no?
looking for the list of names on google. don’t think it is released yet.
Let’s find the names of the 18 yes Dems. They need to hear from us.
I posted the 17 Dem AYE votes above.
I’m so glad they walked out. Who knows? Maybe our calls to the leader’s office helped.
Dems gathered outside speaking now on the vote.
I am so proud of them for walking out.
I am, as well, but I missed it. Will try to catch a video later.
Spoke too soon! Watching my recorded version of Martin’s show, and just spotted the glorious walkout, including Nancy Smash.
So the Dow, which was down 100 points prior to the SC decision ended up 25 down. Obviously that shows the investors are evry upset with the decision…nope, I guess not.
Well, AHIP spent almost 200 million demonizing this law.
AHIP represents wall street and Health insurers!
They Hate the medical/loss ratio…
Why the Market rebounded, could be because Housing shows signs of recovery!
now they feel stupid and they know it. Asked “what are we doing now”?
You already know this, but OUR MEDIA sucks!

Helloooooooooooo everyone…. š š
i am so fortunate that i can get the TOD comments in my email because i cannot access the TOD site from work…and there was no other place that i wanted to be when the Supreme Court decision came down…
how wonderful and life saving was this decision….i just sat at my desk at work and cried…..
i kept singing Amennnnnnnn….Amennnnnnn….Amennnnn…
i plan to donate to all the grassroots fundraising…what better way to celebrate than to give to PBO campaign…in fact i might create a page of my own…..
FORWADDDDDDDDD>>>>>>>>>>>>
Ron Christie, Michael Steele and Herman cannot be African-American, oh, and how can I forget Justice Thomas. I can understand them being republicans of the old school variety, but not as that party stands today.
What is it? Money, some other perks? I just don’t get it.
Why question someone’s allegiance to race just because you disagree with their stance/opinion. Is a gay republican less gay because they are a republican? Black people are not a monolith plain and simple.
Melanie,
Perhaps you think I am questioning allegiance to race because of the way I phrased it. I should have said “clear-thinking”African-Americans, and I mean that. No I don’t think a gay would be less gay; and I might add I don’t think these men are not AFrican-American, but I do believe that, in either instance, for them to endorse a republican party that is so obviously not in their corner is to vote against themselves.
GOproud, these African-Americans are voting against themselves. It does not make them less gay or less AA, but sure makes them anomalies. That, I do not retract.
Obviously anomalies but again AA’s are not a monolith. To say that they are voting against themselves or are not clear thinking is to assume that all have the same hopes, dreams, goals, backgrounds, lifestyles etc. I understand your premise just disagree with your conclusion. That is all.
Oh please spare us all Melanie…
Seriously…
Ron Christie, Michael Steele, Herman Cain, Clarence Thomas have to be the most self-serving, callous, pathetic, hollow, most self-loathing and infinitely narcissistic there is out there…
To pretend that any of the aforementioned are somehow part of the Republican party – with its blatantly racist and dubious ideology -purely out of principle and conviction is to pretend that Scooby doo is really Queen Elizabeth’s secret love child living out its existence anonymously as a cartoon character…
There will always be opportunists from any group willing and eager to exploit any lucrative opening – no matter how debasing and dehumanizing, especially if it promises beaucoup loot and undeserved elevation of otherwise mediocre and painfully shallow persons…
That is exactly the role these men fill…
And yes, self-proclaimed Gay Republicans are as equally self-loathing…
For them greed and racism trumps all else – even their own self-worth and self-respect…And mostly forms their basis for defecting from the ‘monolith’…
Looks like 17 democrats joined in the vote to hold AG Holder in criminal contempt of congress. This now moves to the office of the U.S. Attorney.
Yesterday they said it was going to be 31 Dems…so some came to their senses
Do you know where we can find a list of these traitors?

Do you know anything about a web site that allows you to create slogans and sell them on pre-made products like t-shirts and mugs? I remember something like that from the ’08 campaign.
I think it is cafe press, not 100% sure but I vaguely remember seeing it a while back.
Hi Sam!
Yep that’s it. http://www.cafepress.com/?cmp=knc–g–us–pri–cp_brnd–e–cafepress_t-shirts&pid=3607873&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=pri–cafepress_brand+-+us&utm_content=search-e&utm_term=cafepress+t-shirts

Thanks, Sam. That’s what it was. I did a google search and also found zazzle. š
Isn’t there a web site where people can create t-shirts & other products and sell them? Maybe I can make some money off this. š Would anybody buy it? Bumper stickers, t-shirts, etc.

Feds Providing $80 Million For Health IT Training
Hi HachikÅ, the problem with those sites, like CafePress, is that the proceeds don’t go to Obama/Biden 2012. I just want everyone to buy their merchandise here….
https://store.barackobama.com
…. that’s the only way to truly help the campaign, 100% of the money goes to Obama/Biden 2012.
That’s what it was – CafePress. Not encouraging folks to that, Chips. Just wanted to know for my own reasons. Thanks!
Thinking of you..
http://www.hhs.gov/recovery/programs/healthit_newcareers.html Still wishing you could find one of these training jobs…
I know dear, but none of these programs are free and I don’t qualify for financial assistance because I haven’t filed a tax return since 2010.
I’m not giving up. This happened for my husband, and it can happen for you. I know it

#TWEETON
now Issa is saying he wants the American people to pay for Republicans to get lawyers to issue subpoenas.
Dan Lungren is putting that vote to the floor now.
Now they are tying this non-issue with having an obligation to issue the subpoenas to the Dept of Justice because they want to fight terrorism.
Now they want money to hire attorneys to seek a declaratory judgment against Holder to get those documents. RIDICULOUS!
Hiya LL, are you still around? I am mourning or moaning (not sure which yet) the German lost…
I like you paragraphs, except I think that they should be flipped.
I can’t believe Germany lost. What a debacle. They’ve never beaten Italy in a tournament.
I know…I told Mr. CJ that it seems as if the Italians have the German Mojo locked up somewhere since 1970…
I am sitting here in Germany, and the disbelief is rampant! My son watched the game with about 500 Germans at an open-air venue. Sadly, the Italians truly deserved to win this one. Makes England look pretty good for holding them goalless throughout normal play as well as extra time.

What is with Kathy Hochul (D-NY)?
Good question. She is new and we all had great expectations for her.
Altmire is from PA…tweeted my regards to him….grrrrrrrrr
Hiya TODville, I keep forgetting to say that I am on Twitter…so, I am on twitter, I am @CJJulisch
I am putting my foot in the water and have started to retweet here and there…hopefully I can jump in soon.
Hi. I am following you. my handle is AnotherSignUp <— was not in a very creative mode that day. š
Tweety is likely going to spend all of his show praising and salivating over Roberts doing his damned show. Tweety said and i quote: “today’s hero? John Roberts.” Mudderfuka. š” i’m guessing that ass is feeling a tingle up his legs. {{SMH}} what a fucking ass.
The media’s planned line of propaganda was based solely on the notion that the ACA was going to be struck down – which would give them lots and lots of anti-Obama/DEMS narratives for days on end.
Now that hope has been squashed and they just WON’T give him any credit or positive coverage.
Absolutely spot on…
I saw Tweety earlier in the day when he decision was first announced and he was going on and on about how Roberts will go down in history, blah, blah, blah. It must really suck to be those people. Something is really wrong with them. They cant give President Obama for credit for nothing. How sad is that? I may watch Ed but I will not be watching Lawrence. Mikie Moore is a guest and I cant stand to hear his voice. He will probably be depressed because he want Public Option for himself.
So far, he has had on Coward Fineman, Michael Steele, Jon Heilman and Mark Halperin to talk abot the HC decision.
Any questions?
The thing that struck me about the mother in this video was how clueless she was about ‘whatever you get if you can’t afford anything’
I don’t, in any way, mean to slam her; I am also the mother of a child who has special medical needs. She said it honestly, but before this situation with her daughter, it seems that she had never given it a second thought.
Somewhere in these next few years, moving FORWARD as a country, we have GOT to get back to caring about fellow Americans.
Hopefully, folks like Ms. Walters will pay careful attention when they vote for politicians who make decisions that cut services to families who ‘can’t afford anything’

i surely did…..
To help the campaign along, I donated to five different TOD grassroots fundraising appeals. I pledged for people whose appeals I haven’t given to before. I hope all of you reach your goals. We NEED this money! All of us together can defeat the superpacs.
I keep thinking of the lady in the New Testament whom Christ commended for putting in her penny. He said that she had given more than all the self-proclaimed wealthy. I truly believe that. Our money will do more, and go farther than all of Mitt’s billionaires. President Obama’s campaign committee knows how to get the most out of our money. Our cause is right, and right will prevail.
I’ve been having trouble with my Word press account so I’m here commenting as my Twitter incarnation. I want to thank everyone across the country who worked on the ACA, our team made calls two years ago, it was a privilege for us to take part. The President is right that this is a victory for all Americans. Even those who aren’t fond of the ACA will be helped by it. Let’s go forward and educate people about it’s benefits. Keep your heads down, shoulders to the wheel and onward to victory in November!
HAHAHA…even Morning Joke is disgusted…not good news for the GOP…
When you’ve lost The Scar…
“look petty and partisan”? They are petty and partisan in the extreme, as is Joe Scar.
He thinks THIS makes them look petty and partisan? Where has he been? That’s all they are–petty and partisan and it’s why they’re approval rating is in the toilet. Let’s hope it sinks below the toilet and into the sewer after this.

Censure ME, Boner! I’ve been in contempt of Congress for the last year and a half!
here’s a list of the 17 Dems who voted to hold Holder in Contempt. It’s from a Politico link, but refuse to give em the page views.
Thanks for posting the names. I didn’t pay attention that it was was politico.
Next time the DCCC calls and asks for money, tell them only if these guys are excluded from any of the funds. They have to feel the hurt.
I’m not even gonna wait for them to call. I’m gonna email DCCC right now — if you’re planning to fund campaigns for any of the people who voted to hold AG Holder in contempt, don’t expect a DIME of contributions from me!
17 Democrats is trending on twitter. It should be 17 cowards.
#Tweeps4OBAMA
Yes We Can
After PBO re-election and starting in early 2013, we should really look into starting another party or finding away to whip all dems into shape. If the choice is a blue dog democrat and a republican you are essentially picking the lesser of two evils. Who knows what will trigger the blue dog to vote against party line? If I recall, it was those blue dogs who were voting against the ACA from the very beginning. Why dont we hold republicans in democratic districts accountable for their vote as well?
IOKIYAR.
I’ve tried to give Halperin a break but this guy is insane. He is not creditable he is a total loser. What does Time give this man a platform to breathe air.
Halpern will never be credible/he slurred PBO/but he gets to keep his job!
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, looking to capitalize on all the attention today’s Supreme Court ruling is getting, has launched a targeted online ad campaign aimed at supporters of the health care law.
The ads are running nationally on Google and Facebook, and redirect users to a petition where they can reaffirm their support for the health care law.
On Google, users who search for “Obamacare” see a promoted result with the headline “Obamacare: 1; GOP: 0.” “Tell Republicans: Stop trying to repeal Obamacare,” it reads.

Yeah I just got home, scrolled down the thread looking for you know what, and though I could sense the positive feel in the air, the big “Obamacare Upheld” is what drew out the ‘Yess!’. Thank you Chips! Now I’m just going to do a quick run through to see what the vote was, before burying myself in the details here at TODville. š š
Oh! Bad manners. Sorry. Good afternoon Chips & TODville! š
Happy Healthcare Day VC! š
Here’s a glass of Cranapple juice for ya! [clink!]
Thank you, Dudette! I’m still smiling and happy though I haven’t yet found the announcement. I’m still looking.

Love that Dudette! Happy Healthcare Day everyone!
Crikey, mikey – all that celebrating before you even said good afternoon?!
What a loooooooooooooovely day VC!!!!
Isn’t it? š š I’m curious to know the vote, not that it matters…just curious.
That Roberts swearing-in mess-up that Tweety just aired is still infuriating. Tweet responded with “wow”, whatever that meant. My first thought, and Mr. dotster’s when I called him about the decision, was that Roberts made up for that historic failure by today’s decision. I know it’s not likely, and Roberts would never admit it, but I still wonder if somewhere in his conscience that moment played a role.
LOL I was actually thinking the same thing!
Tweety knows Roberts messed up and that President Obama balied him out with the oath, His wow was one of disbelief that Roberts screwed that up.

Marco Rubio trots out what may be the lamest defense of Mitt Romney … ever
Really, Marco?
On Romney supporting the individual mandate in Massachusetts: āBut what a big difference. He supported it on the state level. Which means if you didnāt like it in Massachusetts, you could move to another state.”
Well, sure. Honey, pack up the kids, quit your job and sell the house. We’re moving where they don’t have health insurance.
Dumbass.
Daily kos
He’s dumb. Romney wrote an op-ed urging Pres. Obama to include the individual mandate in ObamaCare. He endorsed the individual mandate on a national level so Rubio should pipe down with his infantile lies.
During a March 26 interview with American Constitution Society President Caroline Fredrickson, Bill OāReilly ended the interview by promising to āapologize for being an idiotā if the court upheld the Affordable Healthcare law.
Well loudmouth bill???

Willard is a complete hypocrite. He forgot that people could still access his USA Today op-ed? Can’t wait to see the ads.
LL…when I clicked on your NR link…that link had the USA today op ed link…when I clicked on that…it was redirected to Mitt Romney site..with THIS :
Welcome visitors from Buzzfeed, Hot Air, Talking Points Memo, The Huffington Post, The Gateway Pundit, and yesā¦ even The Blue Mass Group. Here is our response to the manufactured controversy about the op-ed below. While you are here may we suggest you also check out our extensive research on RomneyCare which can be found here: RomneyCare ā The Truth about Massachusetts Health Care
There is also a quote there by Ronald Reagan which is sure to be of interest.
I know. USA Today doesn’t have the op-ed on its site anymore. I was rather amused, but eh, whatever. It was the NRO article that was interesting. The Right just doesn’t trust R-money.
NASHVILLE ā First Lady Michelle Obama told delegates to the nation’s oldest and largest black denomination here Thursday that, like faith, “democracy is also an everyday activity” and urged them to register people to vote and stay engaged in politics.
She said failing to vote and act fails the legacy of civil rights activists who won voting rights.
Mrs. Obama delivered the keynote address at the quadrennial general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church at Nashville’s Gaylord Opryland Hotel before heading to Memphis for a private fundraiser for her husband’s re-election campaign. Although she did not explicitly refer to President Obama’s campaign or his expected tough re-election battle against Republican Mitt Romney, she brought the thousands of cheering delegates to their feet several times during the 27-minute speech.

Rightwing Bloggerās Shocking Discovery: John Roberts Was Blackmailed, Arrests To Come Soon!
http://wonkette.com/476770/rightwing-bloggers-shocking-discovery-john-roberts-blackmailed#more-476770
by Rebecca Schoenkopf
How is it possible that it took the #WARBLOGS over an hour to discover the real reason John Roberts made a dookie on the NROās face, by agreeing that the Heritage Foundationās proposal for health care reform, and one that had been flogged by the GOP as far back as Gingrichās tenure as Emperor of the House, was in fact Constitutional? We cannot answer that for you, we can only do our best to amplify one bloggerās shocking discovery the best our humble website can, by bringing you this obvious explanation from āHarryā at āToBeRight.ā
Later this afternoon, itās going to come out that Roberts was coerced. A Secret Service agent overheard Obama and Axelrod discussing the Roberts blackmail. He managed to get them on tape discussing it. Later this afternoon, the whole story will come out, Roberts will issue his REAL opinion, and Obama and Axelrod will be taken away in handcuffs.
What could they possibly have on John Roberts? This suggestion, from the endlessly concerning search terms that bring readers to Your Wonket, might hold an answer! …[more in the article]
