What Republicans are doing now is one of the most disgusting things I've ever witness in politics, and it has nothing to do with whether or not you like Obamacare. Every decent, Constitution-loving American should be concerned about what they are doing.
Like it or not, Obamacare is the law of the land. It was passed through the legislative and executive process, and it was reviewed by the judicial process and upheld. Those are all three branches of the government involved, folks, as per design. You may not like it, but it passed fair and square, and it's legal.
Don't like it? There is a simple solution: win an election, take control of the Presidency and Senate, pass a bill repealing Obamacare through the House and Senate, get the President to sign it.
There. See how that works, conservatives? It's in that there Constitution to which you like to pay so much lip service.
Guess what's NOT in there, though? Threatening to extort America's credit rating, stock market performance, and near-term economic health because you're all butt hurt that you didn't get your way.
And if the American public is so overwhelmingly in your court, Republicans, THEN WHY DID YOU LOSE THE RE-ELECTION?
If Republicans and conservatives love the Constitution and are so sure that they have the public support, then they should actually abide by the document and put their money where their mouths are: win the election in 2014, get super-majority in House and Senate, and then deal with Obamacare appropriately through the process that has worked here for over 200 years. Like it or not, that's how it's supposed to work.
Given that they've decided to skip all that and just resort instead to political / economic terrorism, what does that tell about what they think of their chances (and of the good of the nation)?

A unjust law legality passed is non the less still unjust..
