My problem with Cruz concerning Obamacare is the following. He doesn’t seem to understand that federal Obamacare is unconstitutional for the simple reason that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes.

And that has stopped Obamacare? Wake up. You cannot stop the communists that are in power.

He understands that. That's part of the reasons he put himself in this situation. However, he also understands that in the US system of government, there are procedures that have to be followed, and Obamacare 'passed' the hurdles. First when John Roberts decided it was tax and hence constitutional as long as Congress approves it, and second when the majority of his fellow senators (and perhaps, the Congress) decided to side with Obama.

You may not like it, but if the Scotus already decided that Obamacare is constitutional, where else can one appeal to? The way it is now, only Congress can repeal it.
