SCOTUS: Student-body (hard) Right--updated

what does today's ruling mean for you? Here is a helpful piece by Linda Bergthold on Red, White, and Blue (not really, it's in The Huffington Post but some won't read them b/c of its "liberal" perspective). It's clear and apolitical, worth reading: Obamacare after SCOTUS ruling and you

(from Roger Ebert--yes, that one) who knew he had such political interests . . .



Scalia has a weird day in court. Why doesn't he just resign and run for office?

(from E.J. Dionne) the respected and thoughtful commentator in his usual calm and reasoned voice calls for Justice Scalia to resign--and I couldn't agree more.

as Robert Reich writes, he has "stuck out his neck" by predicting that SCOTUS will actually uphold the Affordable Care Act 6-3 (we'll find out tomorrow); you can read his explanation here: http://robertreich.org/#.T-tNEszriQU.twitter
