Also, Obama was in fact correct, it IS largely unprecedented for the Supreme Court to overturn legislation like this: <http://mediamatters.org/research/201204030012> Damn that history and it's liberal bias! Now I know in Cloud Cukoo Francis land, legislation that was loudly and publicly debated and subjetc to dozens of votes in the House and Senate was "rammed through in the dark of night", and that a healthcare plan originally devised by the HEritage Foundation, presented as the Republican plan in 1984 (by a man now running for president) and enacted on the state level by a Republican governor (a man now running for President) is somehow "Government Takeover of Healthcare" despite the fact that only private insurance companies are involved and will be making all the profits, and CLEARLY is based on Congress' constitutional rights to regulate Interstate Commerce, and has a 'mandate' that requires a person to either buy insurance or pay a fine, a fine for which the law *explicitly* excludes any criminal or civil penalties attaching for nonpayment is a monumental and intolerable affront to Liberty and Freedom! Of course Francis' preferred solution is to allow people to get murdered and maimed by incompetent doctors ("tort reform", which simply doesn't work, as proven by his OWN STATE which has had such reforms on the books for decades) and allow insurance companies free reign to gouge consumers ("cross state sales of insurance" which will lead to insurance companies setting up shop in the least regulated states so they can sell expensive policies that are essentially worthless.) This will lead to an explosion of healthcare costs as the number of uninsured skyrockets, leading to the next logical Republican step: removing the mandate that hospitals treat all comers in favor of their preferred solution, "the Goldfinger Doctrine": "I don't expect you to talk, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die" Because if you're poor and sick you should be removed from society, you're worthless as a labor unit.
