Actually you are incorrect. It is well established law in this country from the seminal case of Marbury v. Madison that the Supreme Court determines which acts of Congress or the President are constitutional. It is part of the brilliant checks and balances the Founders included in our form of government.

The ACA is constitutional. You may attempt to repeal it but you will have to repeal a law that is valid and constitutional.
