"FacebookPinterestJean Schmidt Full.png \n\nFor a minute there, the dream was coming true.\n\nRepresentative Jean Schmidt, the Ohio Republican, has seen her share of indignities. As a freshman congresswoman she marginalized herself by taking to the House floor, in a star-spangled jumper, to call Vietnam veteran Jack Murtha a &amp;quot;coward&amp;quot; for favoring a draw-down in Iraq. She was booed down, forced to apologize, and generally stripped of all credibility. Earlier this year she lost the GOP primary, and her seat, to a candidate even more conservative than she. Would it be too much to ask, in these, her last days in office, for the Supreme Court to strike down the vile Affordable Care Act?\n\nWell, yes, apparently. And in a final punking by the C-SPAN gods, Rep. Schmidt was captured on camera shrieking/losing her mind with joy out side the Court as she received early, incorrect word that the individual mandate had fallen. We feel bad for her. But not bad enough not to post the video.\n\nVisit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy\n\nRead more on Death Race 2012\n\nToday\u2019s Political Firestorm: What To Make Of Yesterday\u2019s SCOTUS Ruling\n\nHunger Reads: What\u2019s Actually Going to Happen to Obamacare and the Ups and Downs of Twitter\n\nWhy &amp;quot;Fast and Furious&amp;quot; Is a Made-Up Scandal\n\n [Students, Single Payer Advocates and Belly Dancers: More Scenes From The Supreme Court\n\n](http://www.gq.com/news-politics/blogs/death-race/2012/06/students-single-payer-advocates-and-belly-dancers-more-scenes-from-the-supreme-court.html)\n\nFollow Reid Cherlin on Twitter for more updates from the campaign trail."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
