I'm sure I will come up with other things to say on the subject so I'll call this part 1.
I'm glad they upheld Obamacare. The republicans can object all they want, but this was their idea in the first place. Does anyone even remember the ninety's? And Romney doesn't have a leg to stand on. Screw all his talk about the forefathers, he is the one who put this into Massachusetts. Try to imagine what his response would be if all the sudden the polls said that everyone liked Obamacare. He would take full credit for that faster than he took false credit for saving the auto industry.
As for the decision itself I think the supreme court did exactly the right thing and did it wisely. They had a split decision but not along the same lines as usual. That way they tried to keep the appearance of being a little more nonpartisan. They upheld the idea that the government can make you pay for things that support the greater good. They also called that a tax which is really what it is.
The republicans are going ape over the idea this is an unprecedented tax and government control. If that's the case, what the hell is medicare? If the supreme court had struck down this law, they in essence would have struck down medicare. I think they get that. Smart thing not to go there.
Republicans are little children that like to say "we won so thats the way things are". (See: Wisconsin, or the House). In this case, you lost - suck it up.
