Obama: Supreme Court won’t overturn health care law

If a president ignores a court ruling and the senate is the same party as he is, how can he be stopped?

I think he's aware he doesn't have that power. Cf. Roosevelt and Court packing in the 1930s.

That would normally be applicable. But this guy has a track record of flaunting laws, the courts and arbitrarily going over the heads of congress. So who knows what he thinks he can get away with. No one else has ever been this brazen... as far as I know. Just because the media refuses to report it doesnt mean its not happening. It just means they agree with him or... he strong arms some of them the way we've seen him do to others. And what he's threatening to do now.

This is a dictator in the making.

Next up ... the NEA having their students (our kids) write to the justices pleading for them to pass this monstrosity.

I could see him going on TV and announcing that by Executive Order he has dissolved the current Supreme Court and has sent to Congress the names of 9 new justices...and that he encourages their swift and unanimous approval to the bench. Then finish up his brief TOTUS apporved message by saying something along the lines of "The health of this nation and it's people cannot be decided by the political whims of 9 unelected activist lawyers. The law was democratically passed and I intend to see it fully implemented. Which is why I've taken this extrodinary step. Thank you."
