No Immigration, no ObamaCare. The ScotusBlog had live coverage. The new opinions (and some older 'new' ones) are at the Supreme Court website.

TomM-- thanks for the separate thread. I think thurs 28 June will be a massive day for JOM readership and comments. Let's hope it's celebrating Obamacare's complete repeal, Arizona's right to enforce immigration laws is upheld to the largest extent possible, and the House contempt resolution against Holder.
For people following interesting splinter parties in Europe (UKIP and Nigel Farage come to mind), scroll down in this article to a discussion of Italy's "5 star" movement, on the verge of achieving visible success. In recent elections, "Five Star Movement candidates have been able to get almost everywhere between 10 and 20% of votes, sometimes even more, all without a single minute of TV advertising or a single advertising page on newspapers." http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2012/06/six-reasons-why-italy-may-exit-euro.html
Ig@11:09 agains shows wisdom. I usually follow that approach, but in this case, the alternatives to those results are too awful to contemplate, so I'm only thinking good thoughts.
This is from 2009, but I just heard it this morning and I agree completely about the briefing part. Back then, it was one protocol error after another, but thru his whole term, I've seen over and over indication that the president was not being honestly briefed.
“You can’t hurry Love,” not even for a “Love Child” like Barack. But next week, we will see “The Happening” but till then “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” leaving me to ask “Where Did Our Love Go” but “Someday We’ll Be Together.”

--Let's hope it's...--
I prefer to lower expectations so I can appreciate what I get rather than raising them and feeling cheated when I don't get them all. :)

Don't you want to swear and take off your clothes when you say that?

I split the difference between NK and Jane. I want to swear but have no desire to shed garments.

Sarkozy: Obama “Weak, Inexperienced and Badly Briefed”
You hire people whose education is so sadly lacking as what we see with anyone under 45 today, I guess you get what the system has spit out.

They're not the "radical" Supremes today.
