Especially since people aren't such a big fan of this bill to begin with. But I will get my pitchfork sharpener out.jonnyrockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11907510638831403863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381347885288005570.post-41690974146204883882011-11-14T22:21:51.591-05:002011-11-14T22:21:51.591-05:00The striking down of health care almost seemed ine...The striking down of health care almost seemed inevitable as of the day it passed. This Court is extremely motivated, as few have been in our history. Unfortunately, not much one can do except wait for nature to take its course, or possibly until Thomas' extra-curricular flagrancy forces the hand of the Judiciary Committee to recommend impeachment. Congress can also restrict the jurisdiction of the Court, but that wheel is so rusty it's almost square.<br /><br />Extensive rioting is another matter, however. Just as it was beginning to seem safe to question our citizens' desire to seriously protest anything, OWS mobilized on a large scale. Let's see how much influence -and staying power- it has. Furthermore, the Court is deified in a way that acts as a major obstacle to popular protest. <br /><br />Just a sniff of leadership from Congress is so badly needed these days, but that may be too much to hope for in the short-term.Shaman Fondlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00152483666074796171noreply@blogger.com
