"Obamcare was passed constitutionally."

I dont think so. All TAX bills are sup[posed to originate in The House (not the Senate)

There are MANY things UNCONSTITUTIONAL about this hideous legislation and anyone who voted for it should be horsewhipped

This brings up an interesting question - if the SCOTUS rules in such a way that is exactly the opposite of the actual text of the Constitution, then how can that be considered constitutional?

If the SCOTUS cannot, in fact, give constitutionality to a law that defies the plain text of the Constitution, then this argument is moot, because ObamaCare IS in fact illegal.

If the SCOTUS ruling against the plain text of the Constitution makes constitutional what was unconstitutional before, then isn't that equivalent to amending the Constitution - thereby amending in an unconstitutional way that also renders the decision and the law unconstitutional?
