it probably did lasting damage to the Constitution, the court itself, and to the free society both Constitution and court are meant to safeguard.

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.

Once again, Roberts voted WITH Kagan, Sotomayor, Ginsburg and Breyer!!!!

How can you defend that?

NO,, it was Roberts responsibility, his task, the only thing he’s paid for,, to strike down such a law that is a clear violation of the constitution. He did us no favors.

“The Supreme Court is not a law making organization”

That’s what they say, but watch what they **do** with, say: abortion, prayer in schools, holiday nativity scenes, automatic weapons, freedom of expression & assembly, 5th amendment takings of private property, and on and on.

So do you believe the Court should not have the power of judicial review?

There was no severability provision.

Part of the law was declared unConstitutional.

The whole law should have been struck down and sent back to the (new) Congress elected in 2010, from whence it wouldn't re-emerge.

The people did speak.

Roberts refused to hear. He now bears the responsibility of making a partisan political ruling against the wishes of The People. He'll never be remembered as the second coming of John Marshall.

I believe in fact that they just did make law, Navy vet. In fact they have been making law since Marbury. AO-62
