What planet are you on? The other side has been deliriously happy. I haven’t heard anyone else make the claim you made.
You can sugarcoat sh!t all you want. I’m not bitin’!
I was wondering about that.
The Commerce Clause has been limited.
You got this wrong, this ruling has no effect on the commerce clause.
I would love to see TEXAS, Arizona and Louisiana secure their borders and declare that they no longer will send any money to the Feds. Put their respective National Guard forces on the major highways to control access...and tell the Feds to stop them.
I hope that a lot more people start wondering about that.
“The great object of my fear is the federal judiciary. That body, like gravity, ever acting, with noiseless foot, and unalarming advance, gaining ground step by step, and holding what it gains, is engulfing insidiously the special governments into the jaws of that which feeds them. “ (Thomas Jefferson)
Although this particular advance was pretty freaking alarming....
“Supreme court justices can be impeached.”
Good Luck With THAT!
Has a Justice ever been impeached?
The only Justice to be impeached was Associate Justice Samuel Chase in 1805. The House of Representatives passed Articles of Impeachment against him; however, he was acquitted by the Senate.

You’ll never know if you don’t try.
An old friend recently exploded in an anti Obama rant. That wouldn’t be much of a suprise, but until now this fellow was completely non-political.
A lot of sleepers are beginning to awaken.
Good job Laz, we needed a plain talk version.
Love your Ayn Rand quote. I’m glad you posted this thread; there is no other way to look at this opinion other than a turd. It radically changes the social contract by completely destroying the concept of limited government. There is no absolutely NO limit to the power of the Federal Government. About the only “rights” we now have are procedural; all the government needs to do is get a judge to rubber-stamp something, and it is done.
Oh, and by the way, this ruling also completely guts the 5th Amendment Takings Clause. The socialists have been drooling for years over getting their hands on the pot of money sitting in everyone’s private retirement accounts. The Takings Clause was the only thing that kept their grubby hands off. That’s gone now; the Federal government is now free to “tax” those funds all they want.
Our Republic was nice while it lasted but it’s dead as a doorstop now.
Freedom and knowledge face three implacable enemies. Marxism, Islamism and environmentalism each will allow no opposition and each demands its oun “facts” and “truth”. They really can’t stand the light of day. Our opposition must first be individual and then, like minded groups. Theological, scientific and economic realities and conclusions validated by data that hasn’t been manipulated show the deceptions practiced by the true believer.
Mythbusters managed to polish a turd, but I doubt if even they could polish this one.
Only shiny when still fresh and new, with not all turds having that distinct look, regardless of how a light source is moved around, trying to achieve a glint of reflection.
Using a product such as
can maintain an illusion of shine...yet one can still see the object for what it is.
I say the turd was not produced shiny, au naturel, nor simply coated with a clear plastic or urethane spray coating upon it's exiting the orifice.
Instead, among not a little stink and much noise, it came to us decoupaged.
Though it arrived to the Court with many layers of such covering having been thickly applied already, having outer visible elements cut as they were from various sources, all combined and pasted onto the essence of the thing, making the outer layer a large confusing collage...
What Justice Roberts did in his dicta was to add his own somewhat clumsy additional decoupage, which doesn't quite obliterate the overall camouflage enough for one and all to be forced to re-identify the thing i for what it truly is, thus be forced to reject it, even as an involuntary "movement".
If those who first excreted this monstrous stinking pile continue to have their way, we will all be forced to eat it, (except for those who created/excreted it in the first place, and/or those whom "make love" with the same original orifices, both coming and going) while the Democrat hard-left and the 1st Wookie smirk at us, telling us that the ghastly creation is not what we all saw and smelt throughout the entire process, but it is instead, "peas".
I think we here can agree, regardless of what else is said about the thing, that at it's center, it is indeed still a turd.
Any disagreement we may have as to the thing's outward appearance, if you will allow, I'll just chalk up as being one of nomenclature.
Or as Bill Shakespeare might out it:
` A turd is a turd is a turd, by any other name it would smell as foul.’
`What is this I see before me? A turd? Out—out damned turd!’

The ONLY way we get rid of Obamacare this term is to take majorities in the House, Senate AND elect Romney President.
If Obamacare is fully enacted it will get harder to repeal as the medical system adapts to the law and the accompanying Bureaucracy entrenches itself. Eventually all that will be left is revolution or more likely empty talk about revolution.
