Here we go again folk's. I don't know why there is all the fuss about the presidential election since the people don't elect the president anyway.......the electoral college does!!
"It was a similar crew of conservative justices on the Supreme Court that decided that their long-held beliefs on states' rights were irrelevant and made George W. Bush our next president in 2000. Now, they're back!!! And they might decide yet another presidential election. (snip) Why don't you just hand the Republicans the election?"

Or perhaps it is the fact they passed a bill in order to knwo what wa sin it
Well they won't decide the election, but they will decide on healthcare.
Remember, FDR was rebuked by the Supreme court several times, even during election years. President Obama's approval numbers are up, and his "likability" is much higher then Romney's.
Its still likely, as long as the economy holds out, that President Obama will win re-election despite the rebuttal of the healthcare act.
I'm not voting for either the D or the R's, but Romney is just to unlikable, and in recent decades the Presidential races are simply popularity contests.
In the first full study of Florida's ballots since the election ended, The Miami Herald and USA Today reported George W. Bush would have widened his 537-vote victory to a 1,665-vote margin if the recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court would have been allowed to continue, using standards that would have allowed even faintly dimpled "undervotes" -- ballots the voter has noticeably indented but had not punched all the way through -- to be counted.

First, the vote against Gore was 7-2 with some liberal justices involved, so you have even that wrong.
The President and Democrat congress tried to stuff this down the people's throats without even reading it and they know a lot was unconstitutional.
There was no severability clause and I don't think Justices want to go line by line regarding 2700 pages of crap.
I think if it is struck down it all goes back to Congress where it started and everyone should be happy.
If Obama thinks it is such a winner he should try to get elected over it and see how far he gets.

Wrong, the Supreme Court did not "make George W. Bush our next president in 2000." What they did was rightly put an end to the endless hand recounts because the Florida Supreme Court could not give a valid reason why they were continuing to allow it.
