Legislating From the Bench

It seems likely that the supreme court will overturn Obamacare by a vote of five to four. Thus, Obamacare will become unconstitutional, because a law is unconstitutional if the highest court says it it, by whatever margin of vote.

And so be it. No complaints. We simply verify once again whether the american people want socialized health insurance, or not, and move on to a new plan.

Evidently, a majority of the american people do indeed want socialistic health insurance, especially when it isn't called "socialism."   (the words "socialism" and 'liberalism" have been effectively demonized by the conservative mainstream media).

If Obamacare is indeed ruled unconstitutional, will we be hearing conservatives complaining that the supreme court has "legislated from the bench"? Probably not. Courts which overturn laws favored by conservatives have committed the grievious sin of legislating from the bench.

Doubtless, conservatives will not use the same argument in this case. They should, for the sake of integrity, but chances are they won't. Of course, no court in this country has ever legislated anything, but try telling conservatives that..
