GOP pledges to fight 'tooth and nail' to repeal ObamaCare

After the USSC ruling can the GOP continue to fight to repeal ACA? I don't understand.

1. Now that they've been rendered toothless and declawed, they can safely bark and scratch

If ObamaCare had been repealed, they'd be crapping their pants right now.

2. These are the same people, who are still fighting the civil war.

They are a bunch of Don Quixotes tilting at windmills. A lot of fight with no real purpose. They lost and can't seem to understand that losing means it's over.

3. All they really have left at this point

is to elect a Republican President and solidly Republican Congress in 2016 and they can basically do what they want. People might suddenly realize they want the law when they figure out everything that they might be losing but the Republicans won't care. If they do NOT hit the trifecta (which I don't think that they will), I don't see how it's ever going to happen. By 2020 it will have been law for 10 years and well-embedded in the system. Nobody would be able to undo it by then without massively disrupting things (worse than how it would have been disrupted by a King victory now). Can the Republicans even successfully run on repealing ACA in 2016? It didn't work in 2012 and that was BEFORE the subsidies/marketplace kicked in. Despite their claims to the contrary, ACA is helping, not hurting, people and will continue to do so, especially if we can get a progressive President and Congress to further expand the law to benefit more people. Republicans are basically desperately tilting at windmills at this point IMHO. It's sort of pitiful, really. Assuming the Court rules like I think that they will in the SSM case, Republicans will pretty much be in the same position there as well- "sound and fury, signifying nothing". I, for one, welcome their butthurt!

5. What a collosal waste of time

But please do, GOP, spend all the next election
campaigning against Obamacare.
It worked out so well for Romney.

And don't forget your old standards -
anti-gays, anti-women, anti-minorities, anti-poor and anti-well-everything
