No, he didn’t.
I don’t quite follow the reasoning here.
NO. He should have killed it as unconstitutional as it plainly is.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is ruby red lipstick on a hog.
I’m still convinced that the Democrats had a picture of him with a donkey.
He is not a man of honor. He is disgraced.
Now that the constitution is broken, we can.....
Nope, not buying it.
The ‘better’ solution would have been single payer under president Hillary. That was the plan
He took the coward’s way out.
He did not want to get his hands dirty taking down the signature achievement of the first black POTUS.
Granted he probably thought the thing was going to
collapse of its own weight anyhow.
The Court is not so deferential to the Legislative Branch on issues like gay marriage and abortion.
Roberts’ behavior demands impeachment. He has brought disrepute upon the court.
It’s not about what we end up with for federal law on this one issue; it’s about the rule of law. The Constitution is supposed to be the “supreme law of the land”, and Obamacare violates that Constitution.
Chief Justice Roberts should have written that Obamacare was well outside the scope of enumerated powers and thus unconstitutional. Anything less leaves open the possibility of further federal intrusions into our private lives and into our economic lives. I hope and pray that President Trump will think tactically and go for wins that make it harder for mission creep in the future to expand FedGov’s role in our lives.
His job was to flush the toilet, not help clean it.
It is entirely irrelevant if anything good were to come from John Roberts activism from the bench (and I suspect that any such good would be qualified and ephemeral).
He had a job to do; he did not do it.
He betrayed the Constitution and the Electorate, and compromised even further the so-called integrity of the Supreme Court.
(And, by the bye, I do not for one moment trust even that he had a high motive for what he did.)
Chief Justice John Roberts deserves nothing less than being removed from the Supreme Court. He actually deserves to be indicted for Racketeering and Collusion with the illegal alien currently in the WH
There’s more to being a SCOTUS justice than making decisions that some people approve of or that are good in the long run. Roberts twisted himself into knots to explain that Obamacare was a tax that wan’t a tax. In doing so, he showed himself incapable of ruling on the constitutionality of a law.
Roberts deserves no sympathy, no benefit of the doubt, no quarter. He is an enemy of strict constitutionalism. Another Bushie NWO stooge who must be purged from the halls of government.
Donald Trump should require every citizen to purchase a firearm for health safety or pay a fine. The precedent is set. Thank you, Mr Roberts.
John Roberts and Earl Warren are examples of why Trump should be extra careful in screening potential nominees to the Court.
I would suggest Trump write up maybe 50 different questions to ask nominees.
Examples:
Is a fetus an independent human life?
Should states have the power to protect that human life?
Does the Second Amendment guarantee the right of an ordinary citizen like one of his children to own a gun? buy a gun? even in NYC?
What are some current problems regarding the current interpretation of Amendment IV by the Court?
Is the PPACA Constitutional?
Was the subsidy case correctly decided?
I’m still bitter about it and believe he was presented with a “carrot or a stick,” or both.
Still trying to rationalize Roberts on Obamacare? The man is pretty well reviled on the right and will never be a hero to the left, so “legacy” was a silly reason if so. Seems pretty clear to me that his motivation was externally applied and it’s more than just those kids he adopted.
