Choosing between Roger Taney and John Roberts would be difficult. Mistakes like this are very hard to fix.

Some folks say that "the people" can fix this mess -- and that's true. But will they? We got here basically because the mob wanted something like this: "Take care of me! Give me stuff!" I'm not sure the mob will change its mind.

I think the states might undo this. If Senators were still chosen by the states, this never would have happened. If governors and stat elegislatures can see that this is not in their best interest, then nullification may be a viable way out of the mess.

But if the feds resist state nullification, then we are back in the days of Chief Justice Taney. Very messy indeed.

Republican governors are lining up to say they won't obey it, until AFTER the election.

What will impress me is if they say they won't obey it, PERIOD.

Obamacare would have no support if members of our top tier of government were subjected to the same “affordable health care” as the rest of us. So why not resurrect the long abandoned principle of equal treatment under the law ? The gold plated Health Care plans enjoyed by our government elites at tax payer expense would have to go. In order to get quality care our rulers would be compelled to support a cap on malpractice law suits. Smart people would start going to medical school again, and doctors would stop retiring at age 45.
