I have listened to Mark Levin's show the past three days (Thursday, Friday, today). If you have time please download and listen to his show from the above days.
Mark is a Constitutional expert. He stated that there is no silver-lining to this ruling. He stated that this ruling will set a very damaging precedent that cannot be overturned by statute.
We must all ask ourselves, when has a large Federal program been shut down?
We must ask ourselves when has the government willingly given up power and control?
Do we really expect that these Obamacare bureaucracies that are being implemented on a daily basis to suddenly be shut down?
The reality is that it will be nearly impossible to have Obamacare completely thrown out. I am not a fatalist, I am a realist.
I believe the Federal government has grown to such a monster that the only realistic way out is either through a full collapse (no one wants) or through action by the several States to take a coordinated action and dissolve the Federal government and restore our Constitution Republic. (of course, the odds of that happening is 1 in 10e14).
My reading of history tells me that the solution lies in the States taking coordinated action to bring the Federal government down to size. I can't site an example in history whereby a national government legislated itself from socialism back towards a limited size.
As Jefferson said in 1788, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield, and government to gain ground."
