All over the web. Supreme Court upholds Romneycare [aka forced individual mandate]. More Romney - was he the outsourcing king of jobs vanishing as WaPo claimed? And what about the Queen B?

On the Supremes and their latest tune, do your own web search and you likely, if trying for it, can find the opinion itself instead of MSM stories about it. As to outsourcing, start with an equivalent to a thousand words:

Opening and closing the limo door, Driving Mr. Daisy,
cannot be outsourced to women in Thailand or the Philippines,
to help-desk responders in Bangalore, or steelworkers in Korea.

Can Michele Bachmann nonetheless still undo Romneycare, as she claims as her heart's intent? (And why has she recently ceased calling it Romneycare)? [UPDATE - Seems so. Will The Queen B be "tip of the spear" against Romneycare as she was when gay marriage was her bugaboo du jour?]

Does Bachmann care a whit about the ravages of outsourcing, (given how she's not said jack about that at any time in her career politician's lifetime)?

Go figure. Does she get a spiffy coverage option for herself and family through Congress? Is the Bachmann clinic staff still without an employer paid health coverage plan, (as was the case several elections ago)? Marcus cannot outsource the clinic stuff, it's infeasible, and that must be end of story as far as the Queen B's consideration would reach.

___________FURTHER UPDATE___________
To make things easier for readers, after having read three to five MSM items where nobody cares to even give the case name in reporting; I took on the effort of finding the opinion [but I am not about to read 193 pages of Roberts-speak, plus dissents, I am not a hound for punishment]. The Court's syllabus does lay things out in a short six pages; (with the last syllabus page posted below; it being the "score card").

how your favorite Supreme performed, per opinion/dissents, etc.
193 pages, so tiger-readers, not the fainthearted, go for it.

________FURTHER UPDATE________
What made me think of this? It just popped into mind.
