Individual Mandate will survive as a “Tax”??? Are you F’ing kidding me??? SOBs - all of ‘em...
The individual mandate survives as a tax.
Thank you, Lord!
I called it yesterday.
Mandate survives as a tax.
Communism is upheld by the SCOTUS.
constitution further destroyed.
So the mandate is constitutional. Chief Justice Roberts joins the left of the Court.
Better get ready for your “Vegtable Purchase Mandate” and “Electric Car” mandate. Because according to the Supreme Court the Feds can force you to purchase anything they deem is good for you...
The fix is in .
We need a revolution.
Bush should have chosen Janice Rogers Brown instead of Roberts.
Can these morons read the Constitution?
“Amy Howe:
The court reinforces that individuals can simply refuse to pay the tax and not comply with the mandate.”
WHAT????
I was right. I Posted this yesterday:

I think they will uphold it all.
And what will we do tomorrow, yeah post a few posts of disappointment.Same thing we did when the Obama monster passed the Dream Act Amnesty by itself without the approval of congress.
What can we do. Pat Buchanan is right , the U.S.A is committing suicide.
Few people realize that we have to dismantle 99% of these government agencies and the laws that authorize them, at all levels of government: abolish government schools, the EPA, IRS, FEC, HUD, TSA, OSHA, dept of energy, dept of education etc. keep only customs, tariffs, military, and border control ,police and courts, abolish everything else
Terrible time for the FR server to go super slow.
“STEPHANOPOULOS: I — I don’t think I’m making it up. Merriam Webster’s Dictionary: Tax — “a charge, usually of money, imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes.”
OBAMA: George, the fact that you looked up Merriam’s Dictionary, the definition of tax increase, indicates to me that you’re stretching a little bit right now. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone to the dictionary to check on the definition.”...
No, Ronald Reagan and GWB have preserved Obamacare through their own appointees!
First off I guess the SCJ can change the entire argument about funding this monstrocity?
I guess they are saying the SC can not stop Obama from taxing the people for this.
Otherwise, I don’t see this is a win for Obama. It only means he can tax the rich in order to pay for this. Good luck raising the taxes needed to fund this peice of crap.
All of this would not be quite as sickening if half the country who doesn’t pay the taxes that fund this would actually pay taxes? You know flat tax..blah blah blah.
It's a judicial travesty to rival Dredd Scott.
If the vote was going to be 5-4 to uphold anyway, doesn't matter what Roberts voted for.
If the three women, Breyer and Kennedy were already on board, then so what? Again, looks like Roberts hopped over the fence to be able to influence the wording of the decision.
In other words, as everyone feared, it really only came down to what side of the bed Kennedy woke up on. Right? Kennedy.
Keep your cool and vote the socialist fools out in November. Acts of violence only play into Obama’s hand.
I’d rather have a RINO in the White House than a socialist dictator. I can bust Romney’s chops after the election.
Like I said, I don’t see this as a win for Team obama. Its not really a win for the people either.
Otherwise, Ibama still has to get congress to fund this monstosity. Which means we need to get as many conservatives elected in 2008 as possible to not let that happen.
Otherwise, we live to fight another day.
Okay, here’s my take on what needs to happen now.
THIS NEEDS TO BE REPEALED NO MATTER WHAT.
No matter what, folks. Which means there is no excuse whatsoever to not vote for Romney in four months. None. I supported Santorum, but that doesn’t matter now — only repealing this monstrosity does. To all the bigots — yes, I said bigots — who keep harping on how Mormons aren’t Christians, either decide that repealing Obamacare is more important or kindly shut the **** up. Maybe he isn’t your preferred brand of Christian, but then again I’m probably not either. I was baptized Greek Orthodox and raised Catholic, so what does that make me? It sure doesn’t make me Mormon, and it probably doesn’t make me the same as the people who keep harping on Mormonism. We have a lot of conservative Jewish FReepers, too — I can only imagine if Eric Cantor was our nominee — would the same people knocking Romney because of his Mormonism be threatening to stay home then as well?
Long screed short, if you’re contributing to the circular firing squad, check your harping, grousing, and bigotry at the door and KNOCK IT OFF. There is one and only one priority now to save the Republic, and that’s to throw out Obama and every Rat senator who *will* filibuster when we try to repeal it next year. Period. Stop being part of the ****ing problem and start being part of the solution.
Today I mourn the death of Chief Justice Rehnquist.
Roberts has succumbed to Obama’s intimidation tactics. Coward.
Do I have that right?
