Obama gives a reasoned speech expressing his gratitude to the court while Blue Angels slowly spell out "CMON, SON" in skywriting above him.

This is great and all but end of the day it's dodging self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Republicans aimed at the national foot and missed. They still haven't figured out that self-mutilation is a bad idea.

Oh my god the tears. They are sustaining. Honestly it's been a poo poo year or two with all the police violence/unarmed black kids being straight up murdered with impunity. I mean this doesn't even come close to "making up" for any of that, but drat it feels good to get some good news.

This headline doesn't make sense, its not like a new judge was nominated to the court. Also does drudge still carry any cultural cache in this age of CSS? Optimus Subprime fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Jun 25, 2015 |

I've always had high hopes that Roberts would turn out to be a great Chief Justice. It's nice to see a bit more movement in that direction.

If the marriage ruling is tomorrow then this is going to be one hell of a good weekend. Our local bar is throwing a marriage celebration and it has turned into an official city event with over 1k pledged to attend. Can't wait for a big, gay party of love and happiness.

Obama walks up to the podium, looks around the room in silence, staring at reporters. From his inner suit pocket he produces a pair of Raybans, and slowly lowers them from his ears to his eyes. Upon their settling on his nose, he smirks and says but three words. "Deal with it."

They still haven't figured out that self-mutilation is a bad idea. So what you're saying is it's the best possible outcome. People get to keep their health insurance, and Republicans learn absolutely nothing from the experience.

Speaking as someone who does web analytics for a bunch of sites, some of which are politics & policy focused: Drudge is still an absolute monster, and if it weren't for the fact he's reprehensible, it'd be really impressive. It's a tribute to "site design doesn't loving matter"

To show how negative my outlook on American politics is today, I had to re-read the title of NBC News's article 3 times before realizing it said "Supreme Court Upholds Nationwide Obamacare Subsidies" before I realized that, hey, they're doing a good thing here. Today is a good day.

I'm trying to think what could anger Republicans more than a positive PPACA ruling... -Gay marriage for everyone (coming tomorrow!!!!) -Guns being banned (coming eventually) -Tax brackets being reformed so that the 1% pays more (hopefully coming eventually) -Churches losing their nonprofit status (hopefully coming eventually) -Inner city youths allowed to attend suburban schools (would cause a Civil War)

pathetic little tramp posted:So republicans everywhere are secretly wiping the sweat from their brows as they realise they don't need to come up with a subsidy replacement right? I actually think its a political win for them. They get to keep railing against Obamacare and SCOTUS and the government and don't have to actually do anything. It would have been a serious hassle if things had gone their way. But complaining about the corruption of the liberals and White House and government is their favorite place to be. Fox News is currently ranting that this has ended democracy. This is a great day for them.

They're going to renew their BWAH GAHD JOB KILLING OBUMMERCARE commentary. Their plan was to cripple ACA then extend ACA and claim victory. Now they'll screech about how terrible it is and how hard people have to vote for them to repeal it to claim victory over filthy liberals. No brows will be wiped and no lessons learned. Whether that last is through koolaid drinking ignorance or malice will change from one empty suit to the next.

It's the same logic as WW2 games with Nazi flags. Just find a different flag (and there are ones that exist) and you'll be fine.

Scalia is such a loving useless prima donna. He's that type of rear end in a top hat who is always right in their own heads, and will condemn others emotional responses ("it's a kulturekampf not a fit of spite") but levels his at the drop of a hat ("words mean nothing." up is down! left is right!). He's also a terrible and schizophrenic jurist if you critically look at his reasoning & logic.

Fried Chicken posted:Man, the response from "conservative intellectuals" on this seems to either be going quiet, "well we weren't laughed out of court like liberals said we would" or some variation in Obama is a dictator because this interpretation of the law is wrong. Huckabee has already pulled the 'tiranny' card several times on Twitter. The rest of the usual suspects seem to be going with "it says 'State Exchanges', can't those unelected elitists in black robes read?!?!?!?!?!?", or some variation thereof.
