will come in the future, and I know I might be in the minority when it comes to the mandate, which I fully endorse.

The overall Health Care Reform, which is far from perfect, does help at least 50 million or so American people. I know that at least 5 of the Supreme Court Justices usually vote against the country and the American people, and two of them should recuse themselves, seriously, so i find no comfort in them at all.

I also wonder why the GOP/tea brats hate America but thats another subject altogether.

Now the corporate media is saying that if the US Supreme court votes in favor of the reform than this will guarantee the gopper base to rise up and vote in Nov. which I truly is total BS because, many of the tea brats have benefited from from HCR.
