cause it's a day to party!!!!
And yes I will drink to all three of these people!
"The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die."

Props!

4:00 in the real world isnt it?

I subtract from my LA time to think about where I'd be if I was in Hawaii right now all the time.

Plus I love how early NFL games are on TV there.
watch the games and go out for lunch afterwards...
Heaven on Earth.

drinking to.

'cause bed time approaches (yeah... it's early, I know)

Salute!!!!!

Couldn't help but picture Hillary dancin' a jig this morning, seeing something she had fought so valiantly for validated by the SCOTUS.

Will raise a glass @ 10:00 tonight - to Obama, to Hillary, to Ted, and all who fought the good fight - AND WON!

I'll still be at work.

This day is so huge, don't think it has set in until now.

Fucking ever.

McCallan 18 year old for me and slainte to all.

Got my glass ready!

(chocolate flavored red wine) Along with some "chocolate covered strawberry" ice cream. Perfect.

to them!

Cheers

Double Scotch Time
Yes, I’m on vacation. And I’ve tried not to think about Scotus, even though I was campaigning for universal health care long before it was fashionable. But I did have a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach this morning, all the same.

And then the ruling came down; fortunately, I was reading Scotusblog, not watching CNN — and I was so hyper that I needed medication.

Health reform may yet be killed. But not today. And never mind the horserace politics: ordinary Americans have just won big.

Merlot for me (doctor's orders)

Citizens they are.

I am thrilled for the millions of other Americans who I don't know, and will never know, but who I care deeply about.

It's not single payer, but it's a big step in that direction.

And a big FU to all the DU Wheaties pissers.

world would change. Same as today, it really didn't hit me until tonight how profound this
moment is, I am so unbelievably happy.

I am definitely lifting my Martini! As someone who has the mother of all preexisting conditions, this law will save my life! I used to be one layoff away from dying.

Not only that, our daughter turns 26 in September, you know what that means. Her boyfriend has no insurance, can't afford it, neither of them can. I have been living in fear that something catastrophic might happen to one of them, and we would have to sell our house to get them whatever treatment they might need.

I had prayers..you'd be in them

I raise my glass to all those that made it happen~ Cheers!

Yes!!!

Or rather, Obama did.
All the more reason to stand behind him!

Victoria Kennedy issued a statement applauding the Supreme Court's decision and said it was time for all sides to come together to implement the law.

"As my late husband Senator Edward Kennedy said, 'What we face is above all a moral issue; that at stake are not just the details of policy, but fundamental principles of social justice and the character of our country.'"

Cheers!

Thank you all, well done

I only wish Ted Kennedy could have lived to see the ACA enacted & confirmed by SCOTUS.

They all deserve high praise, also, for remaining classy & stolid amid such nutty & mean-spirited opposition from the Republicans.

Max Baucus is responsible as much as anyone, and I'm sure he would appreciate a glass being raised more than all of them would

I am proud to be a member of our party.

Though not perfect, dems move America forward toward that more perfect union that we dream about.

the huge, overwhelming feeling that something good happened to benefit
so many people. It feels so good. The antithesis of the feeling you must
feel when you lay your head down and think "Man, gotta stop this president
from helping people less fortunate than I, who may need help.


I, like you, am proud to be on the right side.
