Before today the Republican Party was running against ObamaCare with a candidate who signed the pilot version of ObamaCare. Now it also gets to run against a Supreme Court decision written by a Republican appointee.

    Offering the republican party as a possible remedy for the corruption of power among the political classes is like offering holistic medicine to a mother searching for a remedy for her child's cancer. It is useless, cruel and evil.

    The republican party must be destroyed.

      It matters not, because you'd get nearly the same result anyway.

      The American people's opinions must be changed.
