Will today be the day we learn the fate of ObamaCare?

No.

[db]

No. Remember Heller? This one gets to wait until the end of the week too. It's too important to let the dramatic tension off early.

[Rich]

"Uh, uhhh ... It's coming!"

[Groovus Maximus]

Nope. They need the weekend to get out of town and hide after the ruling is made public either one way or the other.

[hamilton]

This. No chance they release this until the very last day when they can hightail it on their helicopters or whatever fell beasts serve as their mounts these days.

I'm trying to come up with titles for lefty documentaries about Obamacare:
They shoot Brocolli, don't they?
RACISISTS!!!!1!1!
Kochtopus: How two brothers destroyed the sainted Obama and 10 billion Americans died of the plague.

Just for the record, ObamaCare sucks even if it is constitutional.

[Ken Shultz]

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the Supreme Court will make its ruling on Thursday.

[R C Dean]

Not sure how they know that, but its probably right.

[Tulpa the White]

They just struck down most of the AZ immigration law.

FU, Kennedy and Roberts.

[Brandybuck]

A good ruling on ObamaCare won't make up for the damage caused by Kelo, but it would be a start.

I think it's time we start legalizing Marijuana everywhere. Stop living in fear and start thinking about how great the future will be! LEGALIZE IT!

Why don't we just start legalizing it everywhere? Why are so many people still stuck in this FEAR stage...? Stop worrying, start hoping. LEGALIZE IT!

If you live in a state where Marijuana isn't legal yet and still want the same type of highs, I suggest checking out uIntoxicate.com. It has amazingly detailed legal highs reviews and where to get them without getting ripped off!
Also! I'm starting up a new forum dedicated to my fellows stoners. Come on over and join the high conversations! We're quite new, but VERY welcoming.
