This post could have been ten times longer than it was and it wouldn’t change the fact that the ACA is, whether good or bad, LAW. The focus now is to elect a Congress and an administration that will rid us of it and through free enterprise, restore a system of patient care that is good and affordable.

If the Supreme Court legitimately does its job, then what it says the law is, and what the law actually is, will be one and the same. Nothing in the Constitution, however, states that Supreme Court decisions are superior to any other form of law, and nothing even hits that they should be considered binding upon people other than the actual parties to the cases before them. While the Constitution was designed to build a government on a Common Law framework, the supremacy clause suggests that the Constitution is supposed to be superior to judicial precedent.

To be sure, the fact that the Constitution says it is the Supreme Law of the Land doesn't magically make it so, and someone who does not regard the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land could perfectly well regard unconstitutional things as legitimate. I would posit, however, that if one regards the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution as true, then judicial decisions contrary to the Constitution must be recognized as illegitimate. Further, I would posit that if one does not accept the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution as true, then nothing in the Constitution has any meaning with regard to government legitimacy or lack thereof.

" the fact that the ACA is, whether good or bad, LAW."

The FACT is: The Messiah has been choosing which selective parts of LAW that are enforced (just like with Illegals, and allowing them not to be treated according to EXISTING IMMIGRATION LAW, suspending that PART which requires Deportation/Detention).

Now, it doesn't matter what the LAW says in any case, because ONLY the parts that are appealing to The Messiah will be enforced.

We have a DICTATORSHIP now, and John Roberts is complicit in having re-written Obamacare from the Bench, KNOWING it was otherwise Un-Constitutional.

STOPPING MEXICAN INVADING PARASITES FROM CROSSING OUR BORDERS ILLEGALLY AND ARRESTING THEM AND DEPORTING THEM WHEN CAUGHT... IS THE LAW OF THE LAND... HAS BEEN FOR MANY YEARS. IT HAS NEVER BEEN ENFORCED AND THAT IS WHY WE MUST DEFUND OBAMACARE AND KILL IT OFF BEFORE IT TAKES TO ROOT. DON’T TELL ME IT CANNOT BE DONE... THEY DO IT WITH EVERY LAW THAT THEY DON’T WANT ENFORCED. THEN WHEN WE HAVE THE NUMBERS... WE KILL THAT LEGISLATION DEAD AND HANG IT ON PUBLIC DISPLAY.
