I agree with those predicting this Supreme Court decision on Obamacare will help ensure Obamas defeat in November. After that, who knows?

Although I don't buy into the cynical game of dismissing Romney as just Obama with a Republican label or that we are all totally doomed to serfdom in a communist gulag because the left wins every time while the GOP helps them, I'm very skeptical of Romneys intentions as president (we all know he's a RINO through and through). The GOP well knows that conservatives have few options on election day except to throw away their vote on a hopeless 'independent' or, as I'm sure some of the more cantankerous FReepers will do, simply refuse to vote, thus making it more difficult to oust Obama...but by golly, they'll really show those GOP elites they can't be pushed around and besides, Romney is a a Mormon weirdo!

Obviously, we need a Republican majority in both congressional chambers and majorities that are tilted toward conservatives, but that is a long shot. Romney is a bit of a question mark. Yes, he's nominally liberal (by conservative standards) but he also wants to be popular and signing a repeal of Obamacare would be highly 'controversial' but also get his presidency off to a running start. Whether he'll do that, no one really knows, despite the smug, cynical predictions by those who assume it's all a rigged game and no matter who wins what office, we're all going to end up slaves to the government. That may be but if it ever happens, it will be partly because of citizen apathy and the kind of hyper-cynicism that renders people helpless by choice - or serves as a good excuse for doing nothing while playing seer.

Sad to say that just means we’ll be swearing in a new President in a country whose constitution was just shredded.

The Constitution has not been shredded. With Roberts's precedent-setting decision on the Commerce Clause, the Constitution has been strengthened. Now, that doesn't mean that I like the decisision to uphold Obamacare, I don't. But the Constitution hasn't suffered.
