“Even if we get a super majority of republicans in the house senate and Romney in, we will have to wait to change the court to fix this.”

I disagree, and I think it can be fixed even without 60 Republicans in the Senate. Using the power of the purse (don’t fund anything connected with Obamacare) and executive power, Obamacare can be brought to its knees. Furthermore, a Republican majority in the Senate just might encourage enough Democrats to oppose Obamacare to provide the 60 votes necessary to kill it outright.

What cannot be fixed so easily is the Supreme Court’s refusal to return to the Constitution and its original framework for a federal government with limited powers. If there are no effective limits on the federal government’s power to tax, then except for the Bill of Rights there are no effective limits on the federal’s government’s power at all. Non-taxpaying majorities can tyrannize the taxpaying minority at will.

Actually that is what I meant to convey.

When we get the Senate, and Romney wins, we can get rid of Obamacare, but what Roberts did will be with us forever if Roe vs Wade is any measure of bad SC rulings.
