They probably copied it from Fox in the first place.

Nah, both Fox and CNN read the first page (talking about the commerce clause defence) and announced the mandate was struck down. Fox happened to have CSPAN on where they had the SCOTUS Blog liveblog streaming and noticed that said the mandate was upheld and then read page two. CNN didn't. They waited about five minutes before anyone thought to read the second page and realise their mistake.

I think everyone else just took the news from CSPAN/SCOTUS blog and so got it right.

Autocorrect is a bitch. Although a talking mime is either the best or the worst mime ever. He could be so good that he can get away with talking as a mime. He could even have his own meme.

There you go: more fuel to your anger
These things really shouldn't be put in the hands of private for-profit organizations.

Another thing that strikes me as quite crazy. Apparently conservatives are angry at Justice Roberts because, you know: how can he possibly dare to CHANGE HIS MIND AFTER HEARING THE CASE.

The dissatisfaction of conservatives grew as they studied the decision and found clues that the chief justice might initially have been in the majority to strike down the law, only to switch sides. A report from CBS News on Sunday that he had changed his mind added to the anger.

One term that justifies anything like that: "flip-flop." Every political party ever seems to make such complaints about flip-flopping. How dare people change their minds!*



*Righteous anger can still exist in the cases of, say, taking money under the table to change a vote, but that's a problem with the bribery/arbitrary outside influence rather than the process of changing an opinion.

...She wants the founders' religions taught? Well, should be no problem with Islam or Deism, then.

[kaijyuu]

Deism is an awesome religion, so I'd be fine with that


Well, not really fine with it, but much happier than most others.

Tell me it isn't totally plausible though?

Hmm, I don't know, Pathos could sometimes be very diligent with his trolling

But on a serious note, though, that is incredibly.. bad. Just bad. Just incredibly, incredibly bad.
