He understands that. That's part of the reasons he put himself in this situation. However, he also understands that in the US system of government, there are procedures that have to be followed, and Obamacare 'passed' the hurdles. First when John Roberts decided it was tax and hence constitutional as long as Congress approves it, and second when the majority of his fellow senators (and perhaps, the Congress) decided to side with Obama.

You may not like it, but if the Scotus already decided that Obamacare is constitutional, where else can one appeal to? The way it is now, only Congress can repeal it.

Paudio, given the remote possibility that you aren't aware of the Founding States' division of federal and state government powers, please consider the followig. The federal government has only those limited powers which the states have expressly delegated to Congress via the Constitution, and healthcare isn't one of them.

In fact, regarding the so-called constitutionality of FEDERAL Obamacare, are you aware that, regardless what activist justices want everybody to think about the constitutionality of Obamacare, the Supreme Court had previously officially clarified that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public health purposes?

"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. (emphases added)" --Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description (emphasis added), as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass." --Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln, 1837.
“Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously (emphasis added) beyond the power of Congress.” –Linder v. United States, 1925.

Also, note that Congress ignored that Judge Andrew Napolitano had read Congress's constitutional Section 8, Article I limited powers before Congress voted on Obamacare, the judge not finding the power to regulate healthcare in Section 8.

Judge Napolitano & the Constitution

Finally, corrupt Congress ignored a resolution to petition the states to ratify a healthcare amendment to the Constitution both before and after Congress passed Obamacare.

“Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States regarding the right of citizens of the United States to health care of equal high quality.” --H. J. Res. 30

So do you see why I'm a little bit upset with the corrupt federal government concerning constitutionally indefensible Obamacare?
