They find a way to wiggle out of this too. The only way to effect this change is at the ballot box. The mealy mouthed “Moderates/Liberals on the SCOTUS won’t ever let it happen.

Really? Which politicians, if elected, are going to repeal Obamacare? Please give me their names.

No. It is either legally legislated or not. The answer is not. Roberts is neither stupid or liberal. It was a ruling that needed another ruling and he knew it. Just my opinion. There is nothing but a legal opinion required here. Whether it gets kicked down the stairs or not will be up to the legislative branch...they levy taxes. This is a tax. Which is what a conservative would believe.
It won't get fixed there. President Romney will not have the will or the leadership to drive it home. The SCOTUS decision was the most important event of 2012 (not the upcoming election) and we lost. I hope this challenge gains momentum. If the mandate is a tax, and the mandate was added in in The Senate, then it should be illegal because The Senate does not have the power to draft tax bills. It's a long shot. But it's worth a try.
