    This happens every election cycle. We do our job by electing them. They are privy to what will happen and fail to act when they have the power to do so. Who else do we blame? The universe?

      If Hillary were president instead of Trump we wouldn’t see this stacked court.

      That has nothing to do with Obama’s promise or whatever.

        It has everything to do with Obama’s promise. By not following through on his promise to legislate it into law, the opportunity reverse the previous court decision was always a thing that could happen. Acting like them not taking the opportunity when they had it means its the fault of the voting public is pure bullshit.

        Instead, Obama used his political capital to pass Romneycare, which while it helped a lot of poor people, has made the insurance market even worse for many, who still have insurance that they can’t afford to actually use.
