GOP Hopefuls Rip 'Lawless' Court: 'Out-of-Control Act of Judicial Tyranny'

The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision to allow healthcare subsidies to continue nationwide brought strong responses from Republican presidential candidates on Thursday, with Ben Carson promising to "work even harder" to make certain that President Barack Obama's successor "will repeal and replace Obamacare."
"I am deeply disappointed by the Supreme Court’s ruling today," Carson, a retired pediatric neurosurgeon, said in a statement. "Obamacare fundamentally increases the power of the government over the people and healthcare providers.
"While I resent what the court has done, it only causes me to work even harder to make sure the next president will repeal and replace Obamacare with sensible consumer-empowering solutions that remove the government from the patient-doctor relationship," he said.
"Those of us who pledge to repeal Obamacare must redouble our efforts and not waste time and energy mourning today's ruling."
Presidential candidate Donald Trump called the law a "total disaster" and said that his GOP rival Jeb Bush pushed his brother, former President George W. Bush, to appoint Chief Justice John Roberts to the court. Roberts wrote the majority opinion, and also was part of the decision upholding the Affordable Care Act in 2012.
When people vote for Jeb Bush "they ought to remember that he was pushing Roberts, and Roberts is the one -- they might as well call it the Roberts Obamacare because that's honestly what it is," Trump said.
Should he make it to the Oval Office, Trump said he would repeal and replace Obamacare with "something far better that would be less expensive and a lot better. It's a horrible thing. Deductibles are through the roof. You don't get to use it because the deductibles are so high."
