Please correct me if I'm wrong concerning judicial review. But if there was no judicial review, then regardless that the Supreme Court decided unconstitutional Obamacare in Obama's favor, the Court wouldn't have been able to test the constitutionality of Obamacare in the first place.
The way I see it, the only way to force the unconstitutionally big federal government to comply with its constitutionally limited powers is the following. Parents are going to have to make sure that public schools teach their children reading, writing, arithmetic and the federal government's constitutionally limited powers the way that the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood.
You are correct in your analysis. However, IMHO the SCOTUS has done far more harm to the republic via judical review than any other government agency. Especially since they are not authorized by the constitution to perform such reviews. The court simply usurped the power. Early in our history surely but userped it none the less. We simply do not need judical tyrants dictating national law from the bench. And it is not just the Supreme Court but lower courts across the nation as well. Our nation would be FAR BETTER off with out judical review. And teaching children about the real history of the United States is absolutely vital.
