So, we’re not all going to die?

Martha Plimpton is first out of the celebrity gate to praise today’s Supreme Court decision in the name of “health justice.”

Alec Baldwin, not known for restraint, lauds the Supreme Court with reserved praise.

Speaking of clocks, what year is it again?

Albert Brooks is going to make sure to take advantage of his health coverage.

Breaking News: It's a terrific day in America. I'm gonna go out and get wildly sick.

In Michael Moore’s case, we’ll assume “impt” here stand for important, not impotent.

Most impt part of Obama victory today is that insurance companies can no longer deny coverage because someone has a pre-existing condition

MC Hammer declares the decision a great day not only for America, but for all of humanity.

@MCHammer: This is a great day for humanity !!! People need healthcare !!! Thank #God for Mercy Upon The People !!! #healthcare #SCOTUS

— MC HAMMER (@MCHammer) June 28, 2012

Hammer even puts on his big-boy parachute pants to offer political strategy to the administration.

Strategy: Positioning this as a threat to lower income majority won't gain any new voters, that card has already been played. #SCOTUS

Maggie Q spares no exclamation points to congratulate the president.

I applaud the Supreme Court and congratulate the President today. The bill isn't perfect, we can fix it, but it's the right direction.

Allen West worried political correctness at work in Hasan trial

http://twitter.com/#!/AllenWest/status/369527593541713920

The judge presiding over the trial of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan today barred several pieces of evidence the prosecution believed would help establish Hasan’s motivation in the attack. Among those pieces of evidence were three emails suspected to have been sent to American-born cleric and Hasan’s “teacher and mentor and friend” Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2011.

Also barred are Hasan’s interest in being granted conscientious objector status and an academic presentation he had given questioning the war on terror.

Prosecutors will, however, be allowed to introduce Hasan’s Internet search history to demonstrate his interest in jihad.

Former Rep. Allen West wants to know if the invisible hand of political correctness is at work in this case of “workplace violence” and not treason.

http://twitter.com/#!/ctbauza/status/369528132505587713 http://twitter.com/#!/afed3352/status/369534254452973569 http://twitter.com/#!/ThreeDogsGrille/status/369532568267264000 http://twitter.com/#!/MillerGolden48/status/369556972514721792 http://twitter.com/#!/steve_seatam86/status/369576882464776192

In a pre-trial hearing, Hasan told the judge he had committed the massacre to protect the Taliban from members of the United States military who were about to deploy to Afghanistan. Last week, he apologized in court for being an imperfect Muslim who had made mistakes in doing his part to help establish a strict version of Islam.

So, why isn’t he on trial for treason?

Ashley Judd buys into Left’s claim that Ryan blames Obama for Janesville plant closing

http://twitter.com/#!/AshleyJudd/status/241245324600033280

Looks like Ashley’s a little bit late to the fact party. Honey, put down that water and pay attention. Twitchy and countless others have debunked the Left’s misrepresentation of Paul Ryan’s comments about the shuttered GM plant in Janesville, Wisconsin. And we can pretty easily debunk your claim that the plant closed in 128. Just so we’re clear, did you mean B.C. or A.D.?

Sorry, pop: George P. Bush won’t endorse his father, Jeb, for 2016

Good thinking, George III. Best not to get the “RINO” label for the eventual presidential run against Chelsea Clinton in about 12 years:

Misfire: Tweeters assume Santa Monica shooting an assassination attempt

http://twitter.com/#!/flawlessstanx/status/343125690796888065

Authorities haven’t yet released the name of the alleged gunman responsible for today’s shooting spree in Santa Monica, Calif., that killed six people, nor have they identified a second person of interest who is currently in custody. That hasn’t stopped the usual speculation that the NRA, or the Tea Party, or Republicans in general were responsible.

http://twitter.com/#!/downwithtyranny/status/343084585715916801

Because President Obama was just three miles away at the time (and not three blocks, as some mistakenly reported), quite a few reported the shooting as a botched assassination attempt.

http://twitter.com/#!/07lovechild/status/343106442603155456 http://twitter.com/#!/MsJackie_Oh/status/343101683808747520 http://twitter.com/#!/AmbiguousJWalk/status/343089085436530689 http://twitter.com/#!/ShopSassyGirls/status/343095578965721088 http://twitter.com/#!/GreatFatsby/status/343150755496218624 http://twitter.com/#!/OhSchrammIt/status/343095937180262400

Of course, not everyone jumped to the conclusion that this was an assassination attempt. Still, it was in poor taste to have a mass shooting on the same day the president was in town speaking.
