Who decreed that it was either, or??? You don't think both can be pursued simultaneously, and each effort would obviously be led by different groups of people.
It's bizarre to see people act as if we can't pursue this in both the elections and the courts. And you're not the first to post such illogical sentiments.
I don’t argue that it is an either-or situation. But look at it this way: the total resources available to fight Obamacare amount to X dollars and Y hours of effort. We don’t know what the values of X and Y are, but we can reasonably assume that they are finite. My share of the X and Y will go to that area of endeavor which is most likely to produce results — which I believe to be the electoral process. I could be wrong — wouldn’t be the first time — but my evaluation of the court challenges is that they are highly unlikely to succeed. It would be unreasonable of me, given that evaluation, to put my share of the X and Y into court actions. Consider also that if the court cases are shot down prior to the elections in November, that may result in less support for good candidates at the polls. That’s not “defeatism.” More like “realism.”
