As for the Constitution, all 3 branches take an oath to uphold it and it thus should (normally) take all 3 branches to concur in a law (unless the Presidential veto is overridden by a 2/3 vote of both houses of Congress). Sadly, the Constitution was put to sleep decades ago as was the lawmaking authority of Congress (in Obamacare, the President and Secretary of HHS are authorized to “make regulations” – something absolutely extra-Constitutional).

If the Supremes do overturn Obamacare, it will be by some arbitrary standard since a real CONSISTENT Constitutional standard would have overturned Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security years ago.

This would suggest that the people were not ‘overwhelmingly’ for this legislation.

Pelosi was calling in chits left and right, with none of these mental giants bothering to even read their own legislation.

The entire ObamaCare (AssCare?) fiasco will go down as one of the most shameful acts of this thoroughly corrupt and incompetent institution known as the state.

It is quite a feat to transform the freest, most prosperous country the world has ever known into a financially and morally bankrupt police state in less than 100 years.

To borrow a phrase from Bush Sr., “Where’s the outrage?”
