Supreme Court health care debate: If the law fails, what's next? (Big enviro & labor next?)

[Still Thinking]

Say what you will about Bush the Elder, but he gave us Justice Thomas who is dragging the SC to the right as much as a single judge possibly can.

By far my favorite justice. The left obsesses about Scalia, and he's OK, but he's more of an authoritarian conservative, whereas Thomas just wants to limit the government to the powers granted it, regardless of whose ox is getting gored in a particular case.

I admire Scalia, I still think he has the best legal mind on the court. What I’m fed up with is having this sword of Damocles hanging over our heads. Kennedy. Which way is he going to decide? This one not-to-remarkable justice is actually the most powerful man on the court. We desperately need one more strong conservative and that is one of the biggest reasons we have to give the bum’s rush to 0bama.

[Terry Mross]

Those who support the law say if it’s killed it will radically reign in federal power. That says it all right there.
