Nice summary from Sullivan

[Inuca]

My take on this morning's drama: for millions of people, this will mean one thing. They will have an opportunity to purchase healthcare that would otherwise be denied them because of a pre-existing condition or simply lack of means to buy it. This has been done through the private health insurance sector along lines many Republicans were proud of until very recently. And this is a good thing.

The fact that there is no constitutional issue in doing this federally, as opposed to by the states, also removes Mitt Romney's only argument in defense of his own almost identical law in Massachusetts. And so the GOP candidate will be running against his own record in his own state on no rational grounds whatever. And against a Chief Justice appointed by George W. Bush.

But that matters less to me than that someone in America who once had to suffer in silence may now get some help to tackle her health issues. For me, that's a moral principle. Much more needs to be done, specifically in restraining healthcare costs and reforming Medicare. But the core beginning of this process will be getting everyone in the same boat. That now seems unstoppable. So Obama's first term remains historic. And his re-election to cement this change essential.

2. good for him. nt

4. Is that Andrew Sullivan?

That man is certifiable. He may be right on this case, or some other, as a broken clock might be. But this guy lurches from one way or another so often and so forcefully he won't be your ally for long.

If not, ignore my post.

5. Yes, Andrew Sullivan

And I disagree with your charcterization. I know he is far from a liberal, and that he has changed views, but that is perfectly fine in my book, it's actually a very good thing.

6. I agree. Shows me he is continuing to evolve. n/t

7. He's the only conservative I read on a regular basis.

He's a smart and interesting man who has admitted, publicly and honestly, when he's been wrong. I disagree with him fairly stridently about economic policy, but he's an actual conservative, not a radical religulous reichwing loon. His detestation of the religulous right is infinitely entertaining to me. He skewers them at least as well as we do here, and sometimes even better. Sully's an OK duck in my book.
