Crash.Override posted:funny how conservatives want to say 'you should give him a chance.'... yep, just like you people gave obama a chance. conservatives fought tooth and nail to stop obama from doing ANYTHING. now, they want cooperation from the democrats to move forward. just wow. that shoulda been a priority for the last 8 years. conservatives had 8 years of trying to repeal the ACA and still don't have a viable replacement for it. unprepared, uninformed, unable to see the consequences of their action for the last 8 years. republicans, the party of stupid and hypocrisy, are living up to their title.
Speaking strictly for myself, I accepted Obama as my President and hoped, for the Nation's sake, that he would make a good President. As you said though, with respect to me, I definitely was against, in every way, the ACA (Obamacare/Democratic (imposed) Healthcare) because even to a layman it should have appeared as it was which is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The founders never meant for the Federal Government to be that involved in the citizen's affairs.
Please don't cite Chief Justice Robert's decision to allow it to continue because his decision was contoured in many legal ways in order to allow it to be called constitutional and he only did so and got it claimed okay by saying it was a TAX which it wasn't. The Judge says the Federal Government is responsible for taxes and taxing and he claimed the ACA was a Tax upon the American people. It never was developed to be so, never claimed to be so, never drafted to be so nor in its content was it ever termed a tax but yet the Chief Judge passed it as a tax saying the Government could do that as a tax so it was allowed to continue.
Chief Justice Robert's failed America and was a patsy and a disgrace in his duty as a Chief Justice and it will haunt him for his entire career.
My problem with what the Republicans are tempting to do is not see this as unconstitutional and essentially try and rewrite what the democrats did but still putting the federal government over something that the founders never would have envisioned or allowed. Then it most likely could be argued, by some, that the Postal Service would be or should be unconstitutional to the most strictest of readers.
