Within minutes of news that the Supreme Court upheld nationwide tax subsidies key to Obamacare, conservatives reacted angrily online Thursday.

Some went to Free Republic, an online conservative repository of ultra-right wing banter. “Treason!” wrote one in large font. “So truth just doesn’t matter anymore,” another lamented. “We are in la-la land as we continue to surrender power to alchemist in black robes as they read entrails and legislate from the bench,” cautioned a third.

Mike Huckabee took to Facebook to call Obamacare “un-American,” writing “Our Founding Fathers didn’t create a “do-over” provision in our Constitution that allows unelected, Supreme Court justices the power to circumvent Congress and rewrite bad laws. The Supreme Court cannot legislate from the bench, ignore the Constitution, and pass a multi-trillion dollar ‘fix’ to ObamaCare simply because Congress misread what the states would actually do.”

John Hayward, a writer at Breitbart, tweeted “Goodbye, rule of law. It was great while it lasted.”
