Well, 75% of his justices he appoints will find RomneyCare unconstitutional!

It certainly deals his candidacy a blow, losing a key talking point hurts. Now, Obama is free to talk up the really good parts of the plan without the "unconstitutional" argument looming.

You're kidding, right?

Obama would be best advised to not even mention Obamacare considering how badly it polls! Romney gets standing ovations for supporting its repeal. That says it all.

Good luck to the Democrats now!

Republicans maintain a very strong attack line against Obama, which has only grown further with it being upheld and being seen as a tax after Obama claimed it wasn't and after saying he wouldn't raise taxes on middle class families. GWHB, anyone?

Majority of Americans don't want Obamacare or the mandate. HOW is it being upheld good for Obama!? LOL

As I said, good luck!

Yeah, he should avoid mentioning the part about pre-existing conditions and children under 26, because 1% of people support repealing those.

 I was reading Roberts opinion on the decision, and he clearly differentiated between what the state can do in these situations and the federal governments reach of power. In fact he drew so many distinctions between state and federal power,that it gives me the impression Romneycare would be found constitutional, regardless of whether it was stated as a tax or a mandate.

Why would that matter to Alito, Scalia, and Thomas? And there was that recent Montana campaign finance case that had the same 5-4 split that Citizen's United did.

Which Mitt Romney? The one who said this?

Mitt Romney thought that a mandate and taxes were a good idea when it came to RomneyCare. Why is it suddenly a bad idea when it comes to ObamaCare?
