D.C. Circuit Court: "Obamacare" Constitutional
In a split decision, the D.C. Circuit Court ruled that the Affordable Care Act (ACA, or "Obamacare" to the numbnuts out there) is constitutional. What makes this a significant decision is that the majority decision was written by Laurence Silberman, by all measures a right-wing judicial appointee of St. Ronnie of Hollywood. It now appears the preponderance of rulings on the ACA are in favor of its constitutionality, either in whole or in part. The suit that the Circuit Court was hearing was brought by "Rev." Pat Robertson, the squirrelly TV talibangelist and former Rethuglican candidate for President.
