The Supreme Court is not Your Friend Conservatives

Well, the Supreme Court went and saved Obamacare again. I don't know what conservatives are grumbling about. Had the subsidies been struck down there would have been tremendous pressure on Congress to reinstate them. The subsidies would have been a campaign issue and with majorities supporting the subsidies the GOP would have caved.

Now the story is Obamacare, its large deductibles, rising premiums and shortage of care. Wouldn't conservatives rather campaign in that environment?

I hear a lot of conservative bellyaching about no going back from this, about Barry permanently altering America into a center-left-left nation.

Now hold on. Up in Canada Steven Harper has governed for several years, he's abolished the Human Rights Commission, torn up the gun registry, asserted Canadian rights in the Arctic, and supported Israel. That's after a decade of Liberal rule. In Australia Tony Abbot undid the left's carbon scheme and is strenuously fighting illegal asylum seekers. In Britain, the new Tory majority is moving to repeal the Human Rights Act.

Nothing is permanent conservatives. Buck up.
