Then why vent it on a thread about the judicial ruling? It's clear-cut threadjacking.

Because it's on a related tangent, and starting yet another thread on the bill would be a waste.


It is, however, just that: a tangent. This thread is about the Constitutionality of the bill, not the logic (or lack thereof) involved in it.
Fuck it all. Let the world burn - there's no way roaches could do a worse job of being decent than we have.

It seems that large, private business interests have a little too much influence in this nation's politics. Corporate personhood? Money is speech? What's next? I think we are taking a giant leap backward as a country- I don't like it. I believe that there should be a universal healthcare plan, but "Obamacare" went about it wrong.
