The stock market went up because Federal Reserve and/or the market makers tied to the Goldman Sachs/executive branch revolving door flooded dollars into the market to make it appear the people approve of the ruling. The markets are manipulated routinely. Nothing is as it appears.
I'd have to disagree. Europe was up big, but because of Thursday's "European Memorandum of Understanding", not because of the SC.
US healthcare stocks were up 1.74% on the week, but oil and gas was up more at 4.99% and technology up less at 1.02%. If the SC was a non-event with respect to the corporate economy, it was a "BFD" (Biden) with respect to individual choice, freedom and the terrain going into the 2012 election. IMO, Romney seized the high ground on Thursday.
In effect, Roberts said "the voters elected the doofuses who passed this monster. Here's how they can undo this mess with 51 votes." I would have preferred that Roberts voted against Obamacare, but then we would have been left with the previous system which was bad, just not as bad as Obamacare. And little motive on the part of Congress to do anything about it.
Now, if we elect Republicans in November and put them in charge of the White House and Congress, and they still don't kill this, it's time for the torches and pitchforks.
