(298,167 posts)head when he was watching those monitors for the news and cnn & pox jumped the gun with.."It was struck down"!! And, how Joyous the moment was when White House Lawyer, Kathy Ruemmler, came in minutes later "with two thumbs up"?!! And, it's really interesting to me that after all the scathing remarks that SG, Donald Verrilli, took..he is now credited with its Success! Ya just never know, do ya?
"As networks faltered, Obama had to wait for good news"
<END SNIP>
" For many in the administration, the decision amounts to a vindication of the president's signature achievement. Advisors immediately began crediting Donald Verrilli Jr., the solicitor general whose performance during oral arguments drew criticism from some supporters of the law.
Verrilli chose to use as the government's primary argument the assertion that it had the power to require people to buy insurance, while making a secondary argument about the right to tax those who could afford to purchase health insurance but declined to do so. It was the second argument that won the case.
Obama's reaction? His first phone call after hearing the official news was to congratulate Verrilli."
