If Obamacare had been repealed the economy would have responded in a very positive way. Don’t you think the White House would have take all the credit?! How many voters would realize that the resulting resurgence was IN SPITE of the administration.

I would have certainly preferred that it had been repealed, but you look for whatever bright side you can.

If the GOP can retake the Senate and repeal this monstrosity, then we come out of it with a fully repudiated Democratic Party and a Commerce Clause that has been reigned in by the Supreme Court.

"and a Commerce Clause that has been reigned in by the Supreme Court."

Wrong. Of the majority opinion (Roberts and the four liberals) the four liberals dissented over the Commerce Clause. Roberts stood alone on that. Roberts' dicta has no limiting effect on future attempts to expand the Commerce Clause.

This article is already outdated. There was no genius move by Roberts. Neither the liberals nor the conservatives wanted to go along with Roberts. The liberals just took the easy win that does nothing to restrict them in the future.

Krauthammer's whole premise is factually wrong.
