Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area, in a country that was once the United States of America, which has been forever destroyed as a result of yesterday’s ruling.

At least, that’s how Republicans and right wing pundits are seeing things. It’s the death of the constitution.

Yet, it’s not without a heavy dose of irony.

Democrats opposed Roberts at the confirmation hearing are now hailing his ruling yesterday, while GOPers are busy slamming Roberts for judicial activism (all while ignoring that Roberts said that it was the court’s job to call balls or strikes, not to hit and pitch).

Romney says he’s going to act to repeal the act, all while trying to distance himself from the fact that he was behind the law on which the PPACA was modeled - the Mass Care plan.

Then, there’s the fact that the GOP had been pushing the individual mandate in some form for about 20 years, and now they’re claiming that it’s unconstitutional. They want people to ignore the fact that the GOP is now claiming that a policy position they championed for 2 decades is unconstitutional. So what can anyone make of that spin other than blatant political positioning. Oh wait - they’d like to repeal Obamacare by doing the following Obamacare. They want to deny Obama his signature domestic policy achievement and will say and do anything towards that goal.

Indeed, when polls ask about specific provisions of the law, there’s general approval. Yet, those same polls find that the Act as a whole lacks support.

That goes to the success of the media campaign against the Act, and the GOP has benefited from this.
