For 2 years, champions of ObamaCare have been careful to lay out the advantages of their federal dictatorship before handpicked audiences of organized labor and supportive media transcriptionists, at events where applause lines have been rehearsed and questions carefully pre-approved.
As a result, the Regime had little idea that anyone of importance might actually disapprove of their 3000 page effort to separate Americans from their liberty.
So, much of the left entered the 3 day, oral argument phase of ObamaCare before the Supreme Court with the same arrogant exuberance which accompanied the passage of the law.
After all, as they saw it only the ruling of a couple of rogue jurists on the 11th Circuit had placed the lefts dream legislation in front of the 9 DC Justices anyhow. And as liberal CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin put it in 2010, challenges against the law were STILL unlikely to succeed, even before the Supremes.
But apparently no one warned liberals like Toobin that arguing on behalf of an unprecedented assault on freedom before honest Supreme Court justices might result in a glitch or two in the lefts plans.
And that glitch has now been described as a trainwreck as Toobin and other ObamaCare cheerleaders mourn the reportedly disastrous Tuesday and Wednesday sessions before the Court.
For each of the conservative Justices brought up the same question in his own way: What is the limiting factor in the law? That is, if the Federal Government has the power to force the American people to buy insurance, what can it NOT force them to buy? What can it NOT force them to do?

“or worse” is what I have been thinking. It is a sad state of affairs to have these thoughts.

Not sure what you mean. A complete overturning of Obamacare means ABSOLUTELY nothing. Nothing of substance will change.
Does anyone think that mitt and the gop-e will go along with the removal of the 250,000 + bureaucrats hired to implement this monstrosity? Not a chance.
The left knows clearly that mitt and the gop-e in Congress will just rename a few things and move ahead with implementation.
The SC and Congress are powerless in the face of a leftist bureaucracy hellbent on asserting more and more control over the citizenry.
I challenge anyone to ask Paul Ryan, Jim DeMint, Boehner and the rest of the GOP-e this question, If Obamacare is overturned do you advocate the firing of ALL people hired to implement it?"
The answer will tell you all you need to know about the Statist GOP leadership. I am now of the belief that we pass the point of no return; the sooner we can get there, the sooner we can restore our Constitutional Republic.
It’s not important that you know.
I also think what you conjecture is full of prunes.
Never will happen!!!
Uh, sure.
