I disagree.
Judge Roberts' decision is a wake up call to Americans telling us that a BS decision from Congress and President (idiots voted into office by the American people) is LAW -- whether we like it or not.
In so doing, Roberts is forcing Americans to take it, and perhaps change it, via elections.
The Supreme Court is not a law making organization: the legislature and executive branches of government are.
Roberts HAD to rewrite that law. Otherwise his blackmailers were going to expose his homo past.
He simply ignored the “plain meaning” rule of statutory construction, turned his court of law into one sitting in chancery and hauled out an equitable maxim that fit his foot.
So he made law—which he/the court can do—but saying that he was deferring to the legislature is as disingenuous as the Democrats saying:
“It’s not a tax—heavens no—at least for political purposes! But it is a tax (as we argued before the court) if that’s the only way we can get into the public’s pockets.”
bump for later reading
Roberts would have allowed Hitler’s “Enabling Law” on the basis that it wasn’t his job to protect the German people from the consequences of their actions.
My theory is that the answer will perhaps never be found because it lies in the act of Obama's second swearing-in ceremony.
Recall, the first swearing-in was in public and was bungled. To be safe, Roberts ostensibly applied the oath to Obama in a second ceremony held in private and veiled in secrecy.
There was no Bible at the second oath. Besides the Chief Justice and the Usurper, there were no witnesses other than Obama's thugs, Axelrod and Gibbs, and perhaps an anonymous aide or two. No cameras or tapes recorded the deed as should have been done for an historic act, even an act to correct a bungle.
Did something happen.....or maybe more importantly, did something NOT happen at the second oath-taking? Is there a dark secret about that singular rite which was unrecorded and remains shrouded in a purposeful black-out?
Did Justice Roberts (or maybe even Obama) "bungle" something vital again during the second oath session....and therefore Roberts ended up "owing" something to Obama in regards to him being a legitimate president...and the "payback" came in the form of Roberts' bizarre legal opinion granting Obama his heart's desire and "legacy"?
Something is and was never right about Obama's two immaculation swearing-ins to the office of the presidency. But lips are sealed and the nation is permanently in the dark about the whole affair.....unless.......

I keep hearing how ‘brilliant Robert’s is” in making his decision because suppsoedly, he slammed the door shut on the left in terms of using obamacare on the baqsis of the ‘commerce clause’ and that Roberts ‘forced’ the ocoma administration to ‘admit obummercare is a tax’ but the REALITY is that Roberts opened a gaping hole for the left to drive straight through unimpeeded in the future- Sure, The right can ‘repeal obummercare’ however, when the left regains the office and senate, they will simply just reinstate obummercare because Roberts gave them free reign to simply reinstate an UNCONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATION TO OUR FREEDOMS!!!
There was NOTHING ‘Brilliant’ About this assault on our constitutional rights- NOTHING! Roberts was nominated to make judgements and uphold the rule of law, and he refused to do so and isntead LEGISLATED from the BENCH- compeltely ignorign the FACT that forcing someoen to pay a penalty for NOT buying something is a compelte VIOLATION to our constitutional rights!!!
Never before in our history has our government forced it’s citizens to purchase a product or service simpyl becasue we are alive- NEVER!- Justice (and I use that term in this case VERY loosly)Roberts legislated fro mthe bench allowing our government to FORCE citizens to purchase somethign OR pay a penalty-
Takign this to the extreme to prove the poin t- There is supposed to be NOTHING that we absolutely have to do- We don’t even have to pay taxes IF we choose not to- We could kill ourselves in order to deny the government their ‘collection powers’, or we could comkpletely go off the grid- leave our homes, live off the land, and never simply keep on the move and never pay taxes again- We DO have thsi CHOICE if we so choose-
Now, admitedly, this is the extreme- but the point is that IF we so CHOOSE to pay taxes, then WE have made that choice- NOT the government- Now however, We no longer have the choice- EVEN IF we choose to go off grid and live in the wild- We will be concidered ‘fugitives from justice’ because we refuse to purchase obummercare because ‘by law’ the government will now be obligated to pursue said ‘offgrid’ individual for ‘non-payment’ of obummercare
And we now have ‘justice’ roberts to ‘thank’ for giving our goverment the very powers that socialist governments have, and the very powers that england had- the very government that we ESCAPED FROM way back when when they became too pwoerful and invasive and intrusive into our private lives- Now, we’re right back where we started- Heck- we’re even seeing states determining whether or not a business can conduct their business i nthe state according to their religious beleifs- IF the business doesn’t subscribbe to the state’s ‘religion’ of homosexuality- then by golly, that business can notr practice i n the state now apparently-
Obummercare ALSO violates the seperation of church and state inthat it will now FORCE emplyers, and organizatiosn to provide abortions and birth control etc via government sanctioned healthcare- Before roberts opened that door- employers were free to choose their own healthcare- and could choose healthcare that refused to cover such abominations- now however, they will no longer have that choice, and will infact have to pay into government mandadted HC which supports such assaults o nthe innocent-
No- Roberts decision was NOT Brilliant- it was judicial malpractice because roberts REFUSED to fully and objectively uphold our constitution, and he gave our governmetn unfettered ability to trample on our constitutional rights
