BTW, just because the individual mandate was allowed to stand doesn't mean that the law won't be overturned on other grounds, and other cases are pending. The Democrats in their incredible arrogance didn't bother to put a severability clause into the law. That means that at any time that the Supreme Court rules ANY section of the law unconstitutional, they can throw out the entire thing. I recommend that everyone vote to replace ALL of the Democrats in the House and Senate. While the CBC is pretty much bullet proof because of the racist manner in which their districts are laid out to protect them from serious competition.

It won't be overturned because it WASN'T.

At the Supreme Court, that is correct Dave. Overturned was my unfortunate choice of words. A better term would have been "repealed".

OK. I can accept that. Except it require the Republicans to do something they have never shown -the courage to do what their people who elected them to do.
Remember who we are talking about here- Boehner, McConnell, Cantor,etc. What in their history gives anyone confidence that they will even attempt to repeal it?

I'm reasonably confident the law will be overturned. However, that does not erase the dangerous court precedent which will encourage further and continuous abuse by the government against We the People.

Each such abuse will now need be struck down in tedious, time consuming individual processes. In many cases after the damage is already done.

Striking down a law based on the failure of Constitutional compliance of one section or component (as this should have been) already had precedent. There is nothing new there.

What is new is that ANY law can be massaged by ANY Court to become compliant. Not just the Supreme Court.. remember the Supreme Court has set precedent for lower courts to allow this.

I would caution my fellow conservatives on the frustration they may be enticed to express at Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. It is unwarranted, and it is unwise.

The reason I state such is that it is my firm belief that the Roberts' decision on the Obamacare mandate will without question bring about ultimate doom to the government control of healthcare, and through the best means possible--not judicial activism--but through the democratic process.

In boxing terminology no one has pulled a "rope-a-dope" this effective since Muhammad Ali himself. In doing so, it is clear that John Roberts duped the liberal...
