RE :”That doesn't shock me. I had a similar but less cynical thought, maybe they'd want it upheld not cause they were “scared” but because they'd find it advantageous to still have the issue to run on in November”

Exactly, it's unpopular and Boehner promises to repeal it again and again each election (groundhog day) and never gets it repealed, so he is never held responsible for anything bad. And Dems get the blame for health care getting more expensive.

It's like Obama taxing the rich, he runs on it every election but always manages to be foiled by the other side so he can claim he actually never raised taxes, and yet he had a plan to fix the deficit, by raising taxes.

Have your cake and eat it too. This is called playing the base/suckers.

I meant just for this election. I'll wait till it's actually possible to repeal it and they don't before I'll go THAT far in accusing them.
