Supremes

Instapundit:  "The Supreme Court has refused to save us from ourselves."

Maybe -- but that's not the Supreme Court's job, is it?

My view is that the GOP has nobody top blame but themselves.  The problems of, for example, coverage for existing conditions and portability of benefits had to be solved, and that should have been done politically, not left to the courts.  Instead, it was all allowed to sit there like a time bomb waiting to go off.

Well, Boom.  I expect the response to be some DOA campaign for legislative repeal.  Good luck with that.

I don't see any reason to be optimistic going forward.  In democracies led by permanent career politicians who get re-elected by redistributing goodies to ever-growing numbers of free-riders, social policy is a wrench that only ratchets to the left.  Click, click, click -- grab all you can until it finally snaps.

Sorry grandkids, apres nous, le deluge.
