In a landmark ruling that will affect the November election and the lives of every American, the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the controversial health care law championed by President Barack Obama.Holder found in Contempt of Congress
The narrow 5-4 ruling was a victory for Obama but also will serve as a rallying issue for Republicans calling for repeal of the Affordable Care Act passed by Democrats in 2010.
The House of Representatives voted Thursday to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for refusing to turn over documents tied to the botched Fast and Furious gun-running sting -- a discredited operation that has become a sharp point of contention between Democrats and Republicans in Washington.And in other news, the sun will come up tomorrow, and I'll be making a guest appearance at the Blownstar 2012 blogmeet.

Yep, it's gettin interesting, as they say... Sigh...
On the one hand... heck, what can I say, I'm still trying to grasp all the ramifications of what the Chief Justice did yesterday. From this little piece of "The World" it sure "feels" like there was a Super Nova, or something of equal effect, that blew up in a lot of peoples faces. He gave obumma exactly what he wanted but hadn't planned on, he gave rumnie exactly the opposite, equal measure for measure, and he gave the rest of US one last chance to fix a lot of BIG and piss'ant problems in an upcomming election. If he does nothing else, John Roberts just went down in the history books as one of the "(Blank)est" Justices of All Time - remember the winner in November will write the history books.
Regarding that scheister lawyer, let's not waste a breath. But he too made history yesterday, didn't he?;-)
NFO - It's like that old Chinese curse - "May you live in interesting times."
