“Social justice” says individual rights be damned.
I don’t trust anyone in the media on all things. He’s not perfect. And actually, as much as I’ve heard Levin dis “Birthers” in the past, I haven’t heard him say Obama is constitutionally eligible.
Roberts has come out of the closet as a Federal Statist. He’s not for Personal Liberty for you.
I just don't recall him promising to be a "conservative" when he was being confirmed. I remember him likening himself to an umpire, calling balls and strikes. Of course, that kind of assurance is not too illuminating, but more importantly, that kind of assurance is intentionally not too illuminating.
Some umpires have large strike zones and some umpires have smaller, less liberal strike zones. Once the pitchers and batters get to know each umpire, they can adjust their game.
I guess it's about time we start adjusting to our new Chief Umpire. It seems he's a liberal.
So NPR sniffed around until they found some no-account hump. Typical.
One aspect about this brouhaha that intrigues me is that apparently the law never was explicit as to all the funding to be done. Perhaps if the Republicans had contested/objected to the law based on lack of clearly defined funding the SC would have had to do a different take than just assuming it has power to set taxes. Of course Roberts and cohearts would have gone the commerce route. As the Green Hornet used to say “who knows what evil lurks in the heart of man?.
In reading the ruling, Roberts seems more like a mental patient than anything else.
“Do you become more conservative?”
OK, let’s turn that logic around. Zero ridiculed Robert’s court in about the most public forum there is, the State of the Union address.
That didn’t turn Roberts into a (take your MSM pick) arch/ ultra/hardcore conservative. Maybe he’s into `slap & tickle’?
(AND SEE, adj. `conservatives’: constantly erect, super-duper pooping, hyper-meanie, Medusa-like, evil Nazi, barking mad; `progressives’: Democrats, moderates, and th-th-th-that’s all. Journalists’ Stylebook, 4th ed.)
If this issue were a run of the mill decision..I might agree with Posner, but since it is one of the keystones of a socialist USA..and one that sets us on a nearly irreversible plunge into slavery to the state...he deserves every bit.
whats the deal about Irish adopted children via central america rumor?
What would I do if I was Roberts? Follow the Constitution.
Yeah, we’re stopped and the signpost reads, `Welcome To Serfdom.’
I still can’t believe Roberts truckled to the Democrats.
Or for that matter, why a Reagan appointee can’t understand the anger.
This fall it’s conservatives versus the Democrats and the GOP, so we’re really in the s***.
I guess we’ll see what Romney’s made of in the next few months.
This is some real hardball politics coming up.
If he’s as obtuse as Posner he can kiss our support goodbye.
A true tragedy.
In the 1990’s, he published several superb essays in National Review, which was then still under the vital influence of Bill Buckley.
Also in the 1990’s, several of Posner’s decisions were carefully analyzed and praised on the Wall Street Journal's editorial page, which at that time had reached its Conservative apex.
Many “conservatives” whatever that is are also progressives.. like Newt and Myth.. and Bush Jr and Sr.. and Juan McLAim..
Funny thing, that is just about exactly what John "The Taxer" Roberts did to the Republicans and Conservatives.
So, posner thinks we should just shut the heck up since roberts obviously has the power to sanction and intimidate conservatives from the bench?
“Having said that, the reason we are faced with Bammy, ad nauseam is that commies infiltrated academia and agencies generations ago.”
I read a book a few years ago about Joe McCarthy. I believe it was “Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against Americas Enemies”. Using US and Soviet documents to verify, it turns out that he was right on a large majority of his accusations. Infiltration of agencies and academia is certainly is not difficult to believe.
“Either take back the schools or see America go FULL COMMIE ! ! !”
Louisiana will have school vouchers next year. I find that encouraging.
Yeah, and "I'm standing by" for the Freepers who's IRRATIONAL hatred of Mittens and MORMONS,(albeit, absent their ability to provide anything current, relevant or even closely as despicable or eeevil as B. Hussein is, has said or done)....
.... to arrive spouting how more "Dangerous" and a "Threat" Mitt is as opposed to the Fascist, Neo-Commie, Dear Leader and how "they" are willing (even aiding and abetting by encouraging all to say home in Nov.) to cede our FREEDOMS, SAFETY and SECURITY....all in the name of "their" so called, "PRINCIPLES!" and "Suicide Pact!"
