Just wondering. Same with the Defense Of Marriage Act, that was the law of the land too.

Oboingo & the Democrats seem to think it's OK for everyone to protest and demand roll-back of some laws, but not ObamaCare or DOMA.

Oh, the hypocrisy.

If Obamacare is settled law then ALL laws are settled and congress can’t change any of them or pass any more laws. So, according to democrats, we don’t need the house or senate anymore.

If Obamacare is settled law then why does Obama get to keep changing it?

That it is a valid law (we dispute that, but Roberts made it difficult to argue to the low information types) has nothing to do with whether it should be defunded or delayed. Congress sets funding levels for any and all federal programs every year. That is its job. It can also pass laws delaying the implementation of federal programs. That is within its purview. To say that it is federal law is to obfuscate and argue against a proposition that is irrelevant. Congress has the power to withhold funding for all kinds of things— the Vietnam war, for one famous example that libs love. The war was considered legal, they just didn’t want the President to have any money to prosecute it. Same here.

After Roberts changed the meaning of the bill to a tax it should have been sent back to congress for a re-vote and then ratification, no?
