I thought the purpose of the courts was to destroy the constitution.

Remember, the Origination Clause isn't the only constitutional problem with constitutionally indefensible Obamacare Democratcare. In fact, Judge Andrew Napolitano will read Congress's Article I, Section 8-limited powers to you in about 3 minutes and comment that it says nothing about public healthcare.
Judge Napolitano & the Constitution

The states truly need to amend the Constitution to give the states the power to punitively fire activist justices.

There’s no way the Court will strike down the ACA in this manner.

All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

If it goes to SCOTUS, it will have to decide what the definition of Amendments is ...

Generally, an amendment to a document is only a minor change.

SCOTUS might consider wholesale replacement of the text NOT to be an amendment. As such, the ACA might be considered to be a new bill in and of itself. And, since SCOTUS has ruled that the mandate is a tax, the ACA would be considered to be a revenue bill initiated in the Senate.

The ACA would then be declared unconstitutional.

George Will has a column about this in Wa Po:

The actions of the gang of 14 destroyed the only chance I have seen in my lifetime to reign the federal courts by placing conservative judges in the mid level federal courts. The greatest betrayal of America I have ever seen.
