Yeah, they weren't harmed.

Because Republicans took away the individual mandate!!!

Hehehehehehehehehehehehe ...

Well, I only watch a couple of shows on CNN and they're starting to irritate me, so ... whatever.

she's in the wrong business, obviously

Really? She is from Alabama and her previous employer was The Daily Caller. If you want to fault somebody for being in the wrong business, you might try CNN rather than her. She's doing exactly what they hired her to do.

The two dissenters were Alito and Gorsuch. They argued that the plaintiffs in fact had standing and indicated that they would have struck the whole ACA down. A coupla Corporatist Citizens United thinking clowns, methinks.

This issue is all about common sense, regardless of what end of the political spectrum you are coming from, as the justices today demonstrated.

I wonder how much the fact that Republicans have proposed NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to replace Obamacare while working to destroy it had to do with this surprising vote ...

To your point, by the time I first read about Biden's little kerfuffle with the reporter, it was also being reported that he he had already apologized. Biden didn't even give the media time to make an issue out of it. Nobody's going to think less of Biden for making the apology (despite what the previous president might think), and by apologizing as quickly as he did, nobody had a chance to think less of Biden for not apologizing. Whatever else you want to say about the exchange, that was a smart way to diffuse the situation.

I admit, I just this minute learned about that word.

I know the history between Biden and most of the press so, I'm a bit sensitive on the subject. Ahem.

And, yes, it's just like Biden to apologize for being a smart ass. Heh.

Well, that would be nice, but that's not my point. It was a stupid question, not an actually rude one, and heck, she's just a CNN reporter. Who cares about her? But he's the president of the United States. And at this point, for once, who's the bigger man, the president or the vampire press (as Mary Lincoln referred to them)?

That's the real point. He's not into pissing contests or one upmanship or hissy fits or hysterical projection - he's just got some quiet good manners and a sense of his office.

In my view, this is one of the many Biden attributes.

Do you think the reporter should apologize to Biden? I'm just sayin' ...

Oh, well, indeed. :)

President Biden is all about engagement - with reporters or anyone else. That won't change, I hope.

Just like me (hey, that's a PRiSM tune!), Biden still gets frustrated by incompetent journalism. I don't expect that to change, either. Heh.

As for lessons learned - I'll bet the CNN reporter still doesn't understand how these meetings work and she'll never understand anything about Putin. And, I doubt she'll ever learn to ask an intelligent question but, I'd love to be proved wrong. ;)

Oh, I almost forgot ...

Just Like Me - PRiSM

Biden apologized in public for being rude to a reporter, within a short period of time and before it had become a thing.

Yup, she's in the wrong business, obviously.
