for all the speeches we will be having to listen to which ever way they rule.
Maybe they gave him the immigration nut because they are going to upset his "most crowning achievement" as I heard it referred to today.

In this day and age of information leaks and back room deals does anybody really believe Obama has not been advised the out come to be announced?

I for one think that is the only reason the SC would make an announcement on the timing. Anybody wanna bet?

We shall see.

His "most crowning achievement" was getting Bin Laden.

If The Affordable Care Act is overturned, will seniors have to reimburse the government for monies they received to pay for their meds? It's been reported that it's about $600.00 per person for anyone who finds themselves in the doughnut hole.

If it is overturned many people who thought they were against it will suddenly realize how very wrong they were.

When will Mitt Romney say anything original? He did not have any original thought on the Arizona decision; he did not have any original thought on Pres. Obama's "DREAM Act Light"; and "RomneyCare" was a blueprint for the Affordable Care Act complete with the mandate for paying. How can he be trusted with the office of President? Answer: He can't. A decent man but totally NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL.

Is Obama presidential material? Answer: 100% YES.

The POTUS' political opponents have been so bitterly against "ObamaCare", but without offering a better alternative, that people don't understand the problems that will result.

30-40 million people thrown back into the "uninsured" pool? They'll still get healthcare, but guess who'll pay for it? The rest of us will, with dramatically increased premiums. Medicare will move towards insolvency even faster. And Congress will continue to be unwilling to address the issue until after the next election...and the next...and the next.

The argument is that there's a better way. But who's going to come up with it, Congress? The same guys who couldn't agree on spending cuts and appointed a super committe of their peers, who coudn't agree on anything either? Mitt Romney? The guy who is proud of putting essentially he same plan into Massachusetts, but now says it's not a good plan for the country. OK Mitt, then what IS a good plan for the country? We all know we can't afford the system we had, and may have again if the Court rules as many wish they would.

This may be another prime example of being terribly disappointed when we get what we wished for.

Hey, who's give a rat's patootie if the whole idea of the government forcing you to purchase a product is patently unconstitutional?

The liberal elitists want it, and they know better than anyone and should be in charge of everyone's lives because they are just so brilliant and the rest of the country is filled with ignorant rednecks who don't even know how to come in out of the rain if you held the door open for them.

Don't all the ignorant unwashed masses know that government mandated healthcare is a human rights issue?

The part I do not understand - correct me if I have you mixed up with someone else - is you say you are still going to vote for Mitt.

If there are such differences between Pres. Obama and Mr. Romney; you do not think that Romney has offered any positive alternatives to the plans offered by Pres. Obama; I cannot see your reason to vote Republican.

Ahhhhh; the question.................

It's been on the minds of more than you.

It sure seemed as though Mitt Romney liked the idea of his State government forcing all the state residents to buy health insurance was a good idea. If he claims that a Democrat legislature forced it upon him, well, he was wishy washy at that point to go along with it and will be a wishy washy President if the "ignorant unwashed masses" (your words, RichieLion, not mine) vote him into office.

I want a leader such as President Obama with new and original ideas to help our country go forward. I do not want a wishy washy, say anything, just to go backward or have his wheels spinning and not able to do anything positive.

What we need is 50 candidates for president and pick them the same way we do Miss America, swimsuit, even gown and a short speech on what is their favorite subject. Might even get a good one every now and then.

Like my vote for Obama in 2008, to me Romney is the lesser of two evils. If I didn't feel so strongly that all those who can vote should vote, this year's choices are so uncompelling that I might be tempted to just sit this one out.

I will be disappointed but not surprised if I'm voting for someone else in 2016. In fact if Romney is elected, unless there is an amazing turnaround of legislative productivity, consistent with my "never vote for an incumbent" ground rule, I'll probably be voting for yet another candidate in 2016.

It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that except for saying that, your posted thoughts are as if you will be voting for Romney with similar hopes as if throwing a penny in a well, hoping your wish comes true and with little more expectation than that.

Other than that, you criticize Romney, his campaign and Republicans with abandon in your posts. I have trouble remembering any post where you called out a Democrat by name, especially Obama for any real criticism.

You seem unhappy with the State Of The Union in general, but not Obama or Democrats specifically. Republicans and their donors; you have plenty of anguish about.

It just seems all so incongruous to me.

for those who are currently so over whelmed with the benefits of Obanascare just keep in mind that only the tip of the ice berg has been implemented...children on parents insurance longer...donut hole "bonanza", etc.

The meat of the program does not hit until 2014 and beyond. In the mean time costs will be going out of sight in anticipation of the come tidal wave of increased population using the same care facilities of today.

For you to have parity with what you currently have as health care coverage you will see increasing monthly costs. In addition you may have to buy other supplemental coverage to stay even, hence more cost.

The other option that most will be confronted with is reduced coverage by their current provider(s)....longer waits for appointments.....dwindling stage of life priority death panel like impact).

Just as a for example...the $500,000,000,000 (billion!) savings from Medicare that is supposed to offset the cost of Obamascare...where will it come from? who will make it happen? when does it happen? where does the money come from when this does not happen because it will not.
Those who support the program are not looking at the longer term ills that are built in and will manifest with future implementation.

The result will be that what ever we had before the bill was passed...no matter how bad it was....will be the best and lowest cost health care we ever had.

And what happens to the 40 million people who would get health care under the Affordable Care Act if this law is overturned? The big losers here, besides the people currently without health care, will be the insurance companies that are counting on adding 40 million people to their rolls.

The world is waiting to hear what Mitt Romney's health care plan will be since he said he would "repeal and replace" the ACA. Hopefully, he has a big announcement as soon as this decision is announced on Thursday.
