Interesting day...
Buy your health insurance. And a Medal of Honor, if you feel like it.

So if it is constitutional to wear medals/awards you have not earned, wouldn't any military policy/regulation suggesting otherwise be unconstitutional.
I'm no Chief Justice of the Supreme Court though, what would I know?
No, because the military falls into a special legal realm wherein certain abridgments of free expression are allowed.
As for ObamaCare, I am disappointed. Mainly, because most people never read the actual law and doesn't understand what we're heading for. Too much to discuss here. But the truth is, I'm definitely disappointed in it.
That's ok. There are plenty of us that are happy with it to provide some balance.
Not 100% sure how I feel about the whole Health Care debate, of course my opinion is quickly being swayed. I am a small business employer, just received an email from my Insurance agent, my health care for my employees is going up 22% now for the next quarter.....Boy they didn't waste any time, they must have had these emails poised to go out as soon as the decision came down.
I'm sure going to be interested to see how they claim this will bring Health Care costs down, we're sure not seeing any eveidence of a decrease.
Between these two rulings and the Arizona immigration law being struck down, the S.C. has gone way to the left recently. Have to say I'm disappointed with John Roberts.
My guess is many business owners aill make a decision to pay the fine(tax) rather than provide insurance. This will get the ball rolling towards the single payer system.Not 100% sure how I feel about the whole Health Care debate, of course my opinion is quickly being swayed.

Except it has become considerably more conservative recently.

With a paid circulation of 200,000, Mother Jones magazine is among the most widely read liberal publications in the United States. Monika Bauerlein and Clara Jeffery serve as co-editors. Madeleine Buckingham has served as Chief Executive Officer and Steve Katz as Publisher since 2010.
The magazine was named after Mary Harris Jones, called Mother Jones, an Irish-American trade union activist, opponent of child labor, and self-described "hellraiser." She was a part of the Knights of Labor, the Industrial Workers of the World, the Social Democratic Party, the Socialist Party of America, the United Mine Workers of America, and the Western Federation of Miners. The stated mission of Mother Jones is to produce revelatory journalism that in its power and reach informs and inspires a more just and democratic world.
Mother Jones is published by the Foundation for National Progress, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Mother Jones and the FNP are based in San Francisco, with other offices in Washington D.C. and New York.

Mother Jones, lol. Objectivity at its finest.
What a shocker that they come to that conclusion. I would guess that American Spectator, Heritage Foundation, or Fox News has a different opinion.

If you're far enough to the right, everything is to the left.
I'm conservative, but with Elena Kagan recusing herself from the Arizona case, it was widely expected that the conservative members of the court would back Arizona. Healthcare and Stolen Valor were up in the air, but generally you could expect Roberts to side with a 5-4 conservative majority on a case like this. I didn't expect my simple observation that the S.C. has gone to the left with its recent rulings to be debated.
