This was my initial reaction, too. I almost started a thread, but decided against it. I guess I'm just burnt out on discussing political issues. Everyone's just so permanently polarized... civil debating is just nonexistent these days.

Regarding the Supreme Court ruling... I have to say it greatly surprised me. Especially that John Roberts was the one who broke the tie. In the end, I feel it was the right decision for the country. And while the healthcare overhaul (as it stands) is pretty weak, it's a step in the right direction. I have no doubt in time that Americans fear of the program will evaporate, and they will come to regard it more highly.
