For some time I have thought that the bitter – and usually mindless – partisanship in this country is our nation’s biggest problem. With that in mind, I cannot say I am surprised by the reaction of so-called “conservatives” to the Supreme Court’s decision on the Affordable Care Act, as well as their vilification of swing voter Chief Justice John Roberts. The “individual mandate” – the subject of almost all discussion – was once a widely-accepted principle by conservatives, and opposed by candidate Barack Obama in 2008. It was not until Obama attempted to address health care reform on a bipartisan basis and included it in the law since derided as “Obamacare” that it became the flashpoint for “conservative” attacks.
