School Orientation and Health Care Decision

I was running around East TN State University yesterday, trying to get all the stuff covered that I needed to cover in a one-day orientation, advising and registration session. In the middle of it, I'd heard that the Health Care Reform Act had been upheld.

I didn't hear about the controversy until I was driving home, listening to the radio. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? I think John Roberts is trying to oust a sitting president, and if the Dems have any sense, they will oust John Roberts. If that were only possible...

The Supreme Court has clearly stated duties in the Constitution. They've been trying to legislate instead of stand impartially and compare all actions of the President and Congress to the Constitution, and that is just a problem for me.

I'm so fed up with the gamesmanship in Washington DC. It's just so much posturing. Nothing gets done because they just want to stall so the other guys can't act. It doesn't matter who's in office, really. It's just that the Dems seem to care a little more about the people and a little less about themselves and a lot less about corporate interests.  As an individual, and not a corporation, I prefer the Dems.

As for whether John Roberts will get his wish of ousting a sitting president from the Supreme Court or not, I certainly hope not.

How do I figure that, anyhow? Well, by upholding the health care reform act, Roberts stirred up republican opposition to the act, perhaps making them angry enough to oust the president for Mitt Romney (Egads!!) along with all the dems in congress who passed the bill to begin with.

However, if the Dems play their cards right, and put health care on a person by person basis, show the shenanigans and manipulations as bald political posturing, they have a chance. With Obama in the lead, I'm not so sure that will happen. He's too willing to allow crap. The "no-drama" side of him has to get put away. I'd love to see him yell and scream and have a few choice words at the republicans. That would be a bit better than his cool and calm exterior. Show that he gets pissed. Because if a president doesn't get pissed, he's not much good as a president.
