Was Justice Roberts Intimidated Into Voting for ‘ObamaCare’? Senator Mike Lee Presents the Evidence
The Blaze ^ | June 18, 2013 | Erica Ritz

EXCERPT

Lee’s argument is not based on the NSA or its monitoring of the nation’s communication. Rather, Lee said, there are indications that Roberts originally intended to vote against the act, but that a public “campaign of intimidation” made him change his mind.

First, the senator claimed “the opinion was written in a way to suggest he switched his vote,” and that the dissenting opinion reads like it was originally written as the majority. He added that several news outlets reported that Roberts did change his vote, based on insider information.

Not only that, he said, but the court performed an unusual feat of “legal gymnastics” in upholding the legislation, particularly with regard to whether the fines incurred are or are not taxes. They had to re-write sections of the the bill not once, but twice.

Lee continued to say that he has “no evidence” that Roberts was being blackmailed, but said that doesn’t mean Roberts wasn’t under any kind of “direct pressure."

This is Beck’s bombshell? A gay Supreme Court Chief Justice gets brow beaten by two other gay Supreme Court justices?

Thanks for your negativity. You and others are really helping us pull America out of the dire situation she is in.

The Blaze???

Seriously? I hold The Onion, The National Enquirer and The African Press International with more regard than I do Beck and his claptrappery.

I have more - much more to say on this. I have news that will change the lives of every man woman and child on the face of this earth.

And I’ll be releasing this earth shattering news in 24 hours!!!!

No, it’s not his bombshell.

The day he talked of the bombshell he had TWO separate stories he was working on.

The first was the fact that 70 Republicans are revolting against John Boehner against Amnesty. Losing their chairmanships and possibly their seats.. sacrificing their political lives in order to come out against something they believe violates every American principal.

His “earthshattering” news appears to have been put on hold. He had a whistleblower.. who the Senate is working with.. who has some huge news to report.

This Whistleblower says they WILL be killed by coming out with this information they have. So they are being VERY careful about how they come out. And they may have even backed out.

Beck may have spoken too soon on the Whistleblower part.. but rest assured.. he and the Senate are working on it.

Thanks for your negativity. And all you’re doing to help screw the Republic by demeaning someone actually doing something.

I hope you can sleep at night.

If you fall for Beck and his Chicken Little routine; then I have some Nigerian e-mails you may be interested in.

Beck started his own internet network to help combat liberal lies.

He puts out multiple books each year, he has started American Dream labs, he is working on a HUGE project in Utah called Man in the Moon, he is building his own radio network.

He is working like a dog. Sacrificing time with his family to try and help save the Republic.

What have YOU done?

This is the bombshell?

This is what was supposed to bring down the power structure of both parties?

Really?

That's why I can't stand Glenn Beck. If he had the goods, he should've just gotten it out there. Instead, ratings hound that he is he says "I've got something really big...in 24 hours".

OF COURSE anything "really big" will get compromised in that waiting period.

And the HOR reps standing up to Boehner, maybe? They probably want to get re-elected. It would only have take something like 17 of them to oust him to begin with.
