Not quite so clearcut huh?

Repeal not going to happen!

Makes not a bit of difference - this is not a baseball game - all it takes is for ONE court to rule against - just because two found in his favor that does not negate the rulings against. And there are about 6 more pending. 2 of those cases you bring up were dismissed on standing.

Once more - the Congress has TWO chambers - the House and Senate. So no, the republicans don't hold "congress", they hold the House.

Being a bit pedantic? you obviously prefer it to be called the house. ok the House is held by the GOP.

Technically, the Senate is one chamber of Congress and the House of Representatives is the other. Some people, though, refer to the House as Congress and the Senate as the Senate.

Because I do not like having things like this pushed on the voters.

And I would add, as the judge stated, that if the govenment can force you to buy health care, they could force you to buy broccoli.

This is bad on many levels, and opens the door to all kinds of intrusion of government into our lives. There is no end.

That is right!!

The 2 courts so far that ruled for it do not really matter because it changes nothing - it stays the same.

However, the 2 that ruled against it changes everything -especially the recent Florida ruling which voided the entire bill.

If Obama does not adhere to this ruling, could he not be held in contempt of court? He should be! That Federal Judge made a ruling which he expects to be obeyed and not just dismissed like Obummer does when someone does not agree with him.

The republicans wanted it voted on. It was. Did you think it would be a different outcome? Now they have to get to work helping fix it!
