Hmmmm...

Still just not sure what I think today, but to demonize Roberts is both pointless and possibly off the mark.

Time will tell us if what he's done here is awful or not.

I’m going to give it a few days before I decide whether to be upset or not.

He voted the same as Elena Kagan, that’s all you need to know.

After rewriting ObamaCare to RobertsCare, I think it is still ZerOcare.

Instead of clarifying health care, he has made it a muddle. How does this law not become a bill of attainer?

“But Justice Roberts did just the opposite (and, bonus, also strictly adhere to the original intent of the Constitution)”

I found that passage particularly troubling. I get what the author is trying to say, but adhering to the Constitution isn’t supposed to be a “bonus”, it is supposed to be a Justice’s raison d’etre.

All that said, I do agree that the best course of action now is to make the best of the hand that has been dealt to us. The ruling breaks my heart, but it has been made. Now we take what we can use from it to defeat Obama in November.

I was moaning about this this morning and a Conservative friend of mine told me that as much as it upset him too, Roberts went by the “Law”. He did not explain to me exactly what law though. Could this be true that even though we all think the thing stinks, that Roberts did go by the actual law???

Yeah, but how does one explain (or justify) his joining the FAR Left Wing of the Court in ruling against Arizona as well as striking down the "Stolen Valor Act?"

That's 3 and 0 in one week.

Methinks I agree with Rush as what we may be witnessing is this ASSHAT beginning to work on his "Legacy" much as Warren did and so far, that does not augur well for us Cons.

Roberts does deserve our derision and disgust. He drove a stake through the heart of our freedom.

He has provided all the democrats who voted for this bill and Obama political cover and a path to re-election.

Every democrat can run around claiming “YOU SEE, We said it wasn’t a tax. The conservative republican supreme court made it a tax. Not we democrats. The Republicans passed this tax”

And there are enough stupid people that are going to believe this.

I don’t see why the left thinks it is so wonderful except their long range goal of single payer. For now we will go with employer provided .. .. should that go away we will forgo insurance and pay the tax . . . should we get sick we’ll go buy insurance.

I wish everyone would calm down. This is the biggest rallying cry for our party since 1994, when they tried to pass healthcare reform and you remember what happened in 1994. They lied, we now can call it what it is, the largest tax increase in the history of the Country, and take the whole shebang...White House, Senate and the House. Instead of the Dems running against the conservative SCOTUS, it’s all going to be about them. Now we have to stop whining and do our job of getting people out to vote, which got much easier today. Remember why we won so much in 2010? This election is going to forever change this Country.. I am positive it is going to go our way. Let’s get to work.

Don't buy that spin that it is about a tax. BS. This fundamentally changes the relationship between government and the individual(justice Kennedy said this not Roberts the socialist). Now the government has the unlimited power to force us to buy anything they want or the IRS (the new Gestapo) will come after you. This is the beginning of the end of freedom. We are now technically slaves

This liberal POS Roberts just gave the liberals the way to control us , just call every mandate a tax.

This wasn’t just a tax, it was a mandate, the government forcing us to buy something. This is the end of freedom.That is unconstitutional so Roberts rewrites the law to make it a tax so he can vote for it. that is impeachable because these justices can’t rewrite laws all they can say is yes or no. This is the end of freedom not about just a tax( which is bad enough anyway).

This is the end of liberty, the end of freedom. The federal government now has unlimited power to force anyone of us to buy anything not to mention that with this Obamacare they can control every part of our lives now
