they're unscrupiously pigs. Almost all of them (in higher levels).

They won't get to turn it on obama if he turns it on them first.

in 10 years it'll all be forgotten who did what, the most important thing is limiting their reach. In 20 years Obama will have the legacy of the ACA, and no one will remember that the republicans got to turn the tables on this. If anything it will be Obama who makes the argument to congress when for example, the patriot act is up for renewal and he pushes to have it modified. or whatever he he can do to roll back the serveillance state. In the end, he gets the legacy of that too.
