Obamacare was passed constitutionally.

Actually, it wasn't even that, unless we're willing to accept that the Senate's completely gutting an entirely non-related bill already passed by the House, renaming the bill, adding a completely new set of verbiage that has nothing to do with what the original bill said or was about, turning it into a "revenue" bill as Roberts and the SCOTUS ruled, is somehow constitutional.

Revenue bills are required to originate in the House. This bill "originated" in the House only in the same sense that an anchor baby "originated" in Texas.

I absolutely agree with you about the gutting of the House bill and returning something entirely different.

This Supreme Court, however, has “Mad John Roberts” in charge, and that will be a mere technicality in his view.
