I do agree that the SCOTUS ruling on Obamacare will be included with Dred Scott vs. Sandford, Plessy vs. Ferguson, Buck vs. Bell, and Korematsu vs. United States as some of the worst in history. I believe that CJ Roberts was wrong and he should have voted with Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, and Alito, but he didn't and the ruling cannot be changed. This ruling is one of the built in risks with our system of government, I'm sure that when President Bush nominated Roberts in 2005, he never imagined a ruling like this could happen. When President Obama was campaigning and promising "Hope and Change" and "Yes We Can!", I'm sure that the people who voted for him never even dreamed that they were electing the most brazen LIAR to ever occupy the White House! Our system of government may not be perfect, but is a damn sight better than anything else I've seen, we do the best we can with what we have. The ONLY thing that can be done now is to REPEAL Obamacare, THAT has to be the focus now. By the way, Dred Scott, even though morally wrong, was strictly speaking legal, from a private property point of view.
