- Freo Heave-ho! Full Time: Fremantle 12.6 (78) defeated Richmond 9.12 (66) so that the 2nd worst song in the comp could be sung! # [21]

- @coffeyn [14] although people should respect their relationships on Facebook, public figures should be more wary. On that point, I concede. in reply to coffeyn [25] # [27]

- My thoughts on the Supreme Court Of The United States' (SCOTUS) decision on ObamaCare. At its most basic, the ruling was wrong. Continued… # [169]
- 1. SCOTUS was right that the individual mandate is unconstitutional, but was wrong to declare it to be a tax and therefore constitutional. # [170]
- 1. Continued. This is wrong because SCOTUS does not make laws or decide how to rephrase them so as to be legal. That's the job of Congress. # [171]
- 1. Still continued. Govt officials said individual mandate was not a tax. Therefore it was unconstitutional and that should have been it. # [172]
- 3. Given that SCOTUS is now redefining bits of legislation, @marklevinshow [154] is right. America is now post-constitutional. God help them. # [173]
- 2. Continued. However, this means ObamaCare is a tax increase, which violates one of Obama's promises (and not for the first time). # [174]
- 2. Given that SCOTUS has reclassified mandate as a tax, the ruling on legitimacy of taxes is technically accurate. # [175]
