>As a wise dude once said: "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." What you're expecting now, is one of those other forms of goverment that clearly deviates from the way it was designed. Apparently the expectation is that if you pile up invective you can trump the legislative process.

>The fact is that the act has been passed. It was challenged in the Supreme Court. The challenge did not succeed in delaying or overturning the bill.

>The rest is smokescreen, since it doesn't matter how much invective or allegation can be stacked up. What matters who is voted into power and is able to pass or repeal bills. The others are entitled to holler and decry, but demanding re litigation of a passed act as the price of government? Nope.
I'm not rabid on the subject of Obamacare one way or the other since unlike apparently everyone who is, I am neither an expert on the economics of the health care industry nor am I familiar with every single detail of the thousands of pages defining it.
But I am kind of interested in the ideas of separating partisan passion from constitutional argument. I suggest this article and if there are real constitutional arguments against the point Sowell makes I'm interested.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
