And in other news, Dirty Harry is still an idiot.

Saint DH · 06-28-2012, 06:45 PM

Time will tell who's the idiot, Repugnant faggot.

Saint DH · 06-28-2012, 06:51 PM

Fortunately there still might be hope for salvation. The supreme court was far more honest than the Obama administration by calling the Affordable Healthcare Act what it really is, a tax. It is not unconstitutional for the government to exercise it's taxing power. When it comes to taxes, a tax law cannot be repealed until someone actually pays the tax, or something like that.

I love how Republicans are treating this like its on par with 9/11. I don't remember half as much bitching when the bill was passed. It squeaks by a SCOTUS vote and suddenly we're living in Nazi Germany.

I'll play fair though. Explain to me DH why this bill will destroy our health care system.

f3lix · 06-28-2012, 09:17 PM

The GOP didn't have to do much, knowing the people would revolt at the voting booth.

Also, the media was having a field day calling it "historic" and all other kinds of joyful rhetoric.

Repugnant Abomination · 06-28-2012, 09:58 PM

It was historic, jackass.

thekremlin · 06-29-2012, 03:37 AM

Was it? Seemed pretty predictable that they wouldn't overturn it (albeit after the fact, but intrade had it 80% to pass).

ninjaface · 06-29-2012, 01:13 PM

predictability ≠ historical significance

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 06-29-2012, 03:02 PM

I predicted the year 2000.

It was destroyed long ago and has been shit for some time.

Ironic Mustache · 06-29-2012, 07:16 PM

Agreed. I realized that when I was still getting hospital bills for my dad almost 2 years after he died. You'd think the limit would be like 6 months (and before I experienced this, I would have said like 2 months).

It's nice to see that at least CNN is sticking to the issues.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 06-30-2012, 02:06 AM

I loved her genuine laugh at the end.

Saint DH · 06-30-2012, 06:20 PM

Lol at calling it historic. We've had nationalized healthcare in this country for years.

Mr. Blonde · 07-01-2012, 01:56 AM

Then why are your jimmies so rustled over this event, bro?

Decide what specifically you want to argue about and stick to it, you're acting a mess.

Ironic Mustache · 07-01-2012, 05:47 PM

I'd even wager that he's acting a hot mess (to quote nearly every dumb broad on TV).

Huh?

Intrade had it 80% NOT to pass.

Libertarians Sue to Have Romney Kicked Off Washington Ballot | Slog

Here's another situation where we will see how much law really matters. What I fully expect to see happen is that it gets brushed under the rug until after the election and then Romney's votes will be considered ineligible (even though he'll lose anyway.)

DJ FC · 08-17-2012, 03:01 AM

I'm trying to get more size on here before I really let the cat out of the bag but I'll give a taste to Nubblies:

There is currently arbitrage between Betfair and Intrade with respect to the US election. Betfair is banned in the US but you may be able to get access if you use an IP anonymity service.

"I'm not a lawyer, but the letter of the law is clear."

Just one week into law school and I already hate the bolded portion. Law school lesson 1: The "letter of the law" is only barely applicable to a common law judicial system. At first glance, I would be amazed if Romney weren't on the Washington ballot.

Law school lesson 2: I categorically refuse to do any of the work to research precedent and formulate an educated opinion without either a) the promise of a grade, or b) payment.

It took exactly 4 days to become jaded.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
