"Obama railing against SCOTUS is meaningless. It would have to be he (the Executive Branch) refusing to follow the ruling. That has just never happened and it won’t now."

If I'm not mistaken did not President Andrew Jackson *ignore* the Supreme Court in regards to the Cherokee Nation "Re-Location" law? The way I've heard is that Jackson basically laughed at them and said, "I have the army" how're you going to stop me? The thing is - knowing that - exactly how would Obama actually enforce the law against the wishes of approx. 70% of US Citizens, most of the (CURRENT) Representatives, and SCOTUS?

My gut tells me that Obama and his comrades don't really care WHICH issue touches things off, but that they WANT violence involved in this coming election. (I've felt that since Boxer's comment on 1/20/09 about a "peaceful transition of power".) I just don't see how Obama can perform and end-run around SCOTUS on this issue - especially when it's not a group of disadvantaged, maligned people, but the entire citizenry who would need to be controlled.

[NOTE: Anyone trying to follow SCOTUS cases that are not aware of Marbury vs. Madison will have an especially hard time following this case. I suggest ALL who don't remember the basics of that case and decision follow the links on this thread and read... As has been pointed out it's probably the most important precedent that applies to the Obamacare case.]
