If it is that is hilarious.  Congress looks like a bunch of morons again.

After today's arguments before the US Supreme Court, CNN legal correspondent says health law 'looks like it's going to be struck down'.

Oh yeah, Scalia was in rare form.

Health insurance from an employer = Free medicine?

Yes, at least according to one of your side's spokeswomen:

Nice try with the illegitimacy angle.  Doesn't work with the President, won't work with the Congress.

Yeah because horribly written laws of questionable Constitutionality are limited to this one instance.  :lol:

No, because Obamacare is the big news story today.

Ok I have not the slightest idea WTF you are trying to say.  English please.

Claiming they look like morons AGAIN is sayng exactly they are looking foolish today.

Settle down, Throbby Jr. :rolleyes:

I'm saying that this being struck down would make the previous Congress look foolish.  I'm not sure how it should taint the current or other Congresses prior to the 111th.  I think it's a big enough issue that it would be looked at on its own, and not as part of a continuum of bad laws spanning many years, as you seem to think it will. 

And that's not because I disagree about congress having a habit of making bad laws, btw.

No, just that some Congresses are more legitimate than others, i.e., ones that pass legislation you approve of, versus those that don't.

I don't get the "legitimacy" thing you keep harping on.  I don't think I ever questioned the legitimacy of the 111th congress, nor of the Obama presidency.
