All morning long, the sidewalk and front steps of the Supreme Court were packed with protesters. And even hours after the ruling came down, both sides continued to debate the issue, passionately arguing their viewpoints.

Supporters of the law point out no repeal effort is likely to pass through the Democratic-controlled Senate.

As for November, they say they, too, are fired up by this ruling.

Congress passed the Affordable Care act in early 2010 after a monumental struggle in which all Republicans voted against it.

With this 5-to-4 decision, the overhaul of healthcare, still taking effect, can proceed.
