Good. The Obama administration pushed for it to happen before the election. Four out of five courts have upheld it.

“The latest decisions on the Health Care Law was made by some extremely conservative judges who are friends of Scalia and Thomas, and they were scathing in their attacks against the arguments regarding most of the bills' stipulations.

These were among the most conservative of judges and many of the legal interpretations of the decision which I have read indicated that the decisions were designed to warn Thomas, Scalia and Roberts that the Law should stand and that there were firm foundations for its' legitimacy.

It is as if those conservative judges were warning the conservatives on the Supreme Court that were they to overturn it, then they would come under harsh criticism for having done so, and that even they, the most conservative of judges within the Appellate system were secure that the country had the right to make this law.

Thomas, of course, doesn't care about legal precedents or whether it is constitutional, he has been bought and paid for by the Kochs and other right wingers.

However, the Appellate ruling was clearly aimed at he, Scalia, and the rest about keeping their hands off the legitimacy of it, and let's just hope they are scared off by it.”
