Silver lining: #Obamacare CAN'T be fixed, contrary to @GOP blather. Now go for #FullRepeal (which our reps promised in the 1st place). #tcot

Some went to Free Republic, an online conservative repository of ultra-right wing banter. Treason! wrote one in large font. So truth just doesnt matter anymore, another lamented. We are in la-la land as we continue to surrender power to alchemist in black robes as they read entrails and legislate from the bench, cautioned a third.
Mike Huckabee took to Facebook to call Obamacare un-American, writing Our Founding Fathers didnt create a do-over provision in our Constitution that allows unelected, Supreme Court justices the power to circumvent Congress and rewrite bad laws. The Supreme Court cannot legislate from the bench, ignore the Constitution, and pass a multi-trillion dollar fix to ObamaCare simply because Congress misread what the states would actually do.
John Hayward, a writer at Breitbart, tweeted Goodbye, rule of law. It was great while it lasted.
