Healthcare Ruling

The Supreme Court has upheld the Affordable Healthcare for America Act, or ObamaCare, today.  I wasn't sure what the ruling was going to be, but looking at past decisions it seemed likely to me that it would be upheld.  The individual mandate seems un-Constitutional to me, but when it is classified as a tax, well, that's one power the federal government does posses.  I am, unfortunately, not up at the Supreme Court this morning, but I would like to stop by there later today to see if the crowds that are outside there now stick around.  Obama has added another arrow to his quiver, but will Republicans rally around Romney more now?  Are independents swayed by the decision??  We'll see how this plays out politically!  I was surprised that it was Chief Justice Roberts that was the swing vote, thought it would be Kennedy.  Time to get some work done!!
