The Supreme Court decision, just handed down, is a huge surprise and most commentators/legal experts had been predicting an opposite result.
(Needless to say, the 'Right' and Fox are 'tearing their hair out'!).
In a landmark ruling that will affect the November election and the lives of every American, the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the controversial health care law championed by President Barack Obama.
The narrow 5-4 ruling was a victory for Obama, with an administration official describing the mood at the White House as elation.
"Today's decision was a victory for people all over this country whose lives are more secure because of this law," Obama said in a televised White House statement.
