Supremes And Health Care

Tupa, would love to hear your thoughts on the ACA case, whether you buy the "inactivity" argument, what you think they'll decide, etc.
My feeling, based on the arguments just like everyone else, is that the mandate goes down 5-4 and that the "severability" issue goes 6-3 for keeping parts of the bill, with Roberts and Kennedy joining the liberals. That seemed to be the way Roberts was going during arguments - suspicious of the government's lack of a limiting principle, but also didn't seem to be buying Clement's argument for tossing the whole thing. But who knows? Maybe Roberts creates a limiting principle.

You're talking politics wrong.
I see no biased sources
no racist cartoons
No insulting everyone on the other side
Geez, get with the program

I think there is a good argument to be made that the mandate is unconstitutional. I think the specific arguments made in court are painfully crafted to suit the absurd maze of precedent that the Justices mostly pretend to be controlled by.
I agree with your guess on the 5-4, 6-3.

I'd love to hear it if you have the time. I mean, I've read it from 20 other people and know the ins and outs of it, but would rather read your take than just about all the NRO types.

Heck is cya'ing again.
Earlier, he dissed my saying that the hc bill is unconstitutional.
Now, he's softened that a ton.
Congrats. Join the rest of us in reality land more often.

Hey neighbor, have a 'Gansett.

Used to drink it as a poor college student. $6 a case.
It's awful, but you can do worse.

Ever drink Piels? Worst beer ever. Loses the head 1 second after you pour it. Drank it on Recruiting duty in Albany, NY.

I think the worst beer ever is Rolling Rock. Never understood its appeal. I'd rather drink Natural Light.

Old Dutch. I collect old dutch memorabilia because it was the first beer I ever purchased in a bar.
it was, as I recall later on in my twenty's and thirty's, a really really cheap beer.
But our cheap beer in college was 16 ounce ers of robin hood cream ale in bottles.
There was a watercolor or acrylic or something painting of robin hood pulling back his bow that looked like it was from an eighth grade art class.

The Robin Hood Inn at Kent? @@

Im surprised no ones mentioned Milwaukee's beast. Worst tasting beer ever.
-
I can't drink Amstel Light because it always tastes skunky to me.
That being said, I just brewed my first beer, an Imperial Blonde Ale, and it turned out to be pretty damn good.
