The Republican reaction to the Supreme Court's decision to uphold Obamacare Thursday has two parts: First, that it shows the need to repeal the law because it increases health care costs, and second, it shows how important it is to elect Mitt Romney president. Mitt Romney's spokeswoman said the candidate raised $300,000 off the ruling in the first hour after it was handed down. House Speaker John Boehner said "is hurting our economy by driving up health costs and making it harder for small businesses to hire" and so it must be "in its entirety." Another vote to repeal Obamacare was immediately scheduled for early July. Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus -- plus a couple potential Romney running mates -- said it showed Obama must be defeated in November. And Sen. Rand Paul made the bold claim that just because five Supreme Court justices "declare something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so." Those out of office were less on-message, like Sarah Palin, who tweeted a rhyme: "Obama lied to the American people. Again. He said it wasn't a tax. Obama lies; freedom dies." Karl Rove said the ruling was "boost for the president," but the controversy remains.

The Democrats, naturally, were celebrating, perhaps most obviously so Democratic National Committee executive director Patrick Gaspard, who tweeted, "It's constitutional. Bitches." Nancy Pelosi, with a slightly less confrontational tone, asserted "millions of American families and children" will have health care. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was more dramatic, saying, "the power of life and death back to the insurance companies, but our Supreme Court has spoken." We are offering your guide to the spin.

House Speaker John Boehner issued a statement saying, "The president’s health care law is hurting our economy by driving up health costs and making it harder for small businesses to hire. Today’s ruling underscores the urgency of repealing this harmful law in its entirety. What Americans want is a common-sense, step-by-step approach to health care reform that will protect Americans’ access to the care they need, from the doctor they choose, at a lower cost. Republicans stand ready to work with a president who will listen to the people and will not repeat the mistakes that gave our country ObamaCare."

The House will vote again to repeal the law after it returns from July 4 recess, Politico reports, a mostly symbolic vote because Democrats control the Senate.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi tweets, "Victory for the American people! Millions of American families and children will have certainty of health care benefits + affordable care."

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, "Our Supreme Court has spoken, and now it's settled," on the Senate floor, according to the Washington Examiner.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says, "Today’s decision makes one thing clear: Congress must act to repeal this misguided law." He issued this (obviously pre-recorded) video:
