The problem is, it ratifies the plan as constitutional when looked at as a tax. Which, in turn, opens Congress to the possibility of taxing people for not doing something, as well as passing tax legislation disguised as a benefit package. Finally, the legislation originated in the Senate. All tax legislation must originate in the House, making this legislation unconstitutional on its face.

What’s left is for the American people to rise up and demand repeal. The obvious way to do this is to sweep Romney into office. He’s already on record stating he’d work to repeal (not “replace”, I saw the video...) this bill on his first day in office. Also, Congressional Republicans have begun efforts to see to its repeal. Will it happen? Who knows. But sweeping Romney into the Presidency over this will be a mandate.

I was criticized yesterday for bringing this up. But I doubt that individual considered the fact that Romney was serving a single, liberal state when he signed RomneyCare into law. Now, he’s on the National stage, and if swept into office on a mandate, he’ll find it much harder (especially if the GOP is behind repeal based on their election results) to renege on his campaign promise.

But that’s where we have to go if this is to have a positive outcome. And there’s no guarantee that we’ll get there. And there’s no thanks to be given Roberts for a decision that was so political, so convoluted, just to make the USSC appear above the fray. So, yes, you’re being unreasonable.

There are so many facets that cause people to become frustrated and angry. If we are going to get anything accomplished we need to get away from the rhetoric that divides and unite in action.

There are those who will work to get 0 out of office...only alternative as of now is unfortunately wmr.

BUT for those who do NOT want to activily support him there are Senate seats and congressional districts that need help.

Can proudly say we got rid of Rino Lugar and nominated a more conservative senatorial delegate here in IN. Replaced a D for an R, Todd Young for our congressional representative. Both should win easily here as well as Mik Pence for GOvernor.
OTOH for many it is too late, primaries have already determined the candidates, BUT we can support the least liberal in our own districts and/or assist candidates in neighboring districts and/or States.

We simply need to get organized and help FRiends see their options.

Am sure JR would see this as activism and help establish a place on the sidebar to promote our efforts.

Go back and read the history of the ObamaCare bill. It was introduced in the House as some kind of community revitalization nonsense by Charlie Rangel in the fall of 2009. The Senate basically gutted it and turned it into ObamaCare. It's not up to the U.S. Supreme Court to chastise the House of Representatives for allowing the Senate to re-write their bills. It's not up to Chief Justice John Roberts to deal with useless, corrupt idiots like Charlie Rangel who get re-elected repeatedly by the quasi-humanoid mutants he calls his constituents.

That's basically what Roberts' majority opinion was all about.
