Personally I think they solidified the GOP hold on the house and guaranteed GOP control of the senate.
It won't matter unless Obama is defeated in November. He has been moving heaven and earth to make Congress a ceremonial body and has already established many ways to raise and spend money without Congressional authorization. He is now legitimizing millions of illegal aliens and will give them work permits while preventing states from purging and protecting the voting rolls. You can bet that these illegals will be registered to vote and will vote as many times as physically possible.

While that is true, the only way to get rid of obamacare is to get 60 in the senate. I don’t think that is likely.
“Personally I think they solidified the GOP hold on the house and guaranteed GOP control of the senate.”
Doesn’t matter. Even if the GOP turns conservative and reverses Obamacare, any future administration/congress can use today’s ruling to compel citizens to do whatever they mandate. There is no longer a limited government, no longer any freedom of choice.
The constitution died today.
Agree.
They also made it an absolute certainty that O'Bungsuck will be swept out of our White House like the pile of putrid, stinking waste that he is. This has just gone from a touch-and-go election with the potential for minimal voter fraud swaying the outcome to a trembling, quaking landslide of previously unheard-of mandate majority.
A margin of victory way too big for even massive voter fraud to outweigh the natural outcome.
Obama, and The Obamacare Middle Class Income Tax, are done for. Yes, Chief Justice Roberts is a gutless dirtbag, an even bigger conservative disappointment than Justice Souter—but he just handed Conservatives both Houses of Congress and the White House come this November.
On the bright side, Chief Justice Roberts will be recorded in the history books as the biggest traitor to the Conservative Cause ever. I urinate on his vile name. What a despicable spineless eunuch.

I would include the WH.
The ruling is a loss for our side or anyone who believes in a limited government, but it may prevent Obama having another 4 years to damage the country.
No matter how much of a GOP takeover results from this, how confident can one really be that the GOP would have the political will to actually repeal anything? I would have traded a 2nd Obama Term for Obamacare to be struck down in its entirety.
cripplecreek, I don't mean this as disrespect, but screw the GOP, we need people who value truth, justice, honesty, and integrity. That is very much the anti-GOP, and also the anti-Dem.
But, so what? We are still going to have Obamacare being implemented. The best case scenario is a total takeover: Mitt wins the Presidency, the GOP holds the House, and we pick up enough seats to gain a thin majority in the Senate.
Which then uses the 60 vote filibuster rule to prevent any repeal of Obamacare. So, with all that work we sit and watch helplessly as Obamacare goes into full force. In fact Romney will be the one implementing it, with some new Sec. of HHS repalcing Sebelius.
What are the chances that Mitch McConnel dumps the filibuster rule at the start of the session? Almost ZERO.
Chances that Obamacare, after being upheld by the Supreme Court, will not be fully implemented? Almost ZERO.
