Thanks for the thread, AB!
Burning question - will George Will stick to his idiotic claims that this was a “substantial conservative win”? How many times will “silver lining” be brought up in reference to the disaster that Roberts and the other four idiots have just cemented as law?
Let the reactions of these wise “pundits”, like George Will as you mention, and Krauthammer, be a lesson to us all.
They are the political chattering class and they are part of the problem.
I read how Roberts was “protecting” the image of the Supreme Court with his silly, and probably illegal, action. I read that Roberts threw himself on his sword-can you imagine anybody stupid enough to express such a thing?- to save the country.
The political chattering class, yes even the so-called conservative ones, did not see the emperor has no clothes. Only we, the common people, with the common sense the political elite and their chattering class do not have, see the absurdity of what happened last week.
Our legislators passed an outrageous piece of legislation that nobody wants, that was passed through bribes and incentives to certain states and not others, that the public tried desperately to stop by electing a Republican to replace Ted Kennedy then in 2010 rang some clocks with the country’s collective outrage.
So we wait for the Supreme Court to do their little tiny job, a great job when you think about it, a lifetime job protection for just reading a document and interpreting....AND THEY DO NOTHING!
Well Roberts changes the law from a mandate to a tax, thereby effectively re-writing the law which the SC is NOT supposed to do, and we’re all out here in la-la land, bitter and feeling more than a little tyrannized.
Our gubmint is run amok folks, that’s all.
Time for us, the common people, to do what we got to do.
First, let’s eject those always wrong conservative pundits, Will, Krauthammer....time for them to go.
Then we’ll talk.
