Today's SCOTUS Decision Dooms Obama's Reelection

Yes, Obama and the Democrats are entitled to a bit of a victory lap today, after Chief Justice Roberts searched deeply within his political self and found a path to uphold ObamaCare.

Today's ruling will probably go down in history as the most effective GOP voter turnout operation ever. There is only one way to repeal ObamaCare and that is through the ballot box. It will happen.

Obama campaigned on a promise to never raise taxes on any families earning less than $250,000 a year. Today, the Court called the mandate for what it is...a tax. In doing so, it acknowledged that, not only did Obama break his campaign promise, but he and his leftist allies have ushered in the largest tax hike in history. They will go with that record into the voting booth in November.

From a nakedly partisan viewpoint, today's ruling is the best case scenario for the GOP. ObamaCare is still deeply unpopular and now the only way to undo it is to sweep Obama and dozens of Democrats out of office.

Roberts may have pulled off the ultimate Jedi Knight mind trick. He upheld the law by framing it as a tax, which runs counter to Obama's campaign promises. He has ensured that the only way to appeal the law is to prevail, across the board, in November. That was ultimately always the case.

Patriots around the country will now realize that there is no cavalry on the horizon. If we want to preserve our liberties, we will have to fight for it. Patriots and Independents now have a singular reason to show up at the polls in November. This focus will doom Obama's reelection campaign.

Today, I donated to a congressional candidate who is committed to repealing ObamaCare. What did you do?

And when I hit the powerball tonight, I won’t have to worry about any of this.

So it’s going to be okay see. :)

Good, thoughtful and increasingly rare analysis. We cannot be like petulant children where every shift in the wind discourages us. This is going to be a long, multi-generational fight.

If we can undo the government school complex most of liberalism will unravel of its own weight. The debt will do the rest.

You could just give up or you could continue to work for a return to Constitutional America. For my part I’d rather be fighting than sitting in a wet diaper waiting to be put out of my misery.

Let’s not let a short term setback undermine our resolve. Our ideas are better and liberals are losing control of the thoughtspace.

I agree w/ a lot of that but there was no reason compelling Robetrs to swap a commerce clause mandate for a taxing power mandate. He got cutesy and wanted to be on both sides of the issue and I fear America will suffer his folly for decades.

I do hope Romney is successful in rolling back Obamacare (now Robetrscare to me) on Day One but much damage is already done and will continue to be done before the dust settles.

Thanks for the compliment. I made a note of the thread. I’m going to try to remember to make an essay out of my comments, and post it about a week before the election, just in case it’s a close election, although I think it won’t be close.

I hope it won’t be close, but Romney seems to be doing his best to make conservatives nervous. I wonder how much of it is cointel propaganda by Obama against Romney. Voter suppression wins elections.
