We have the SCOTUS rulings on the subject and you want to claim they are not good enough. It does not get any more absurd than that.

soooo a bad decision makes Obamacare constitutional too, right?

Think of 1857, when the court handed down the outrageous Dred Scott decision, which said African Americans were not citizens. Think of the “separate but equal” doctrine in Plessy v. Ferguson, which the court later repudiated in Brown v. Board of Education.

your the type who would shake his head in disbelief as they pushed you forward into a cattlecar headed toward a death camp...mumbling something about the constitution and the supreme court.

The supreme court ruled it was unconstitutional for the federal government to force individuals to buy goods or services they did not want according to the Commerce Clause.

The supreme court ruled it was unconstitutional to force states to comply or lose funding for existing programs.

The supreme court only ruled that congress or state assemblies had the constitutional authority to regulate such programs and levy a “tax” for people who didn’t participate.

The Fourteenth Amendment made the Dred Scott decision null and void.

Yep, that's the way it works, unless you're an anarchist. Conservatives respect the rule of law - even when it goes against our desires. Why else do you think that conservatives are so ticked off at roberts's betrayal? It is precisely because he abandoned principle to impose a political solution to the issue.

That wasn't necessary.
