The other SCOTUS ruling: yeah, Citizens United can fuck states' rights, too

What about the bet with AR(?) on whether the odds shift in one direction or other?

Never consumated.

Ah.  Out of interest, any movement?

BTW Guller, tomorrow is pay day.

I know.  You got the money?

Last time I checked was maybe a month ago.  Still around 60 cents then.

BTW, all those scenarios being discussed make me a little concerned that our terms may be unclear.  Are we betting on the individual mandate, or the Obamacare in its entirety being overturned?  My understanding is that my side is a 5-4 decision killing the mandate at the very least.

From ABC:

I suspect it'll be found constitutional, but perhaps wrongly

[Admiral Yi]

Well that's certainly intersting Shelf.

Guller: the bet is on the mandate.

[Admiral Yi]

BTW, if fucking InTrade allowed me to register I would be happy to short at 77 cents.

[DGuller]

Open question:

If you were completely free to rewrite the 1st Amendment, what would it say?

It would say exactly the same thing it now says.  If someone is retarded enough to think that it applies to corporations, then no amount of lawyering with the language is going to mitigate that disability.

Besides, it's the 2nd Amendment that needs the rewrite.  That one's caused more problems than the 1st.

I'd scratch out the press bit, or add a bunch of restrictions. I hate the press.

Without the press, what would we do on languish?

Be free of Timmay's tyranny.

And here I thought you were going to say the 13th or 14th!
