I will grant the author the possibility on every point except for one.
The act as passed is unconstitutional. Chief Justice Roberts should know that his job is like that of an umpire, calling balls and strikes. Leave the politics for the other branches.
This is a quite interesting article. It is worth the few minutes needed to read it.
Ping please. Thanks.
Pure horse feces. All this talk about how Roberts did this so “Well, now the sheeple can wake up!” is bogus. Once a law is enacted, it will stay enacted and now the calls for single-payer is starting. Roberts could have killed this, but those Irish children of his...
Typical bellybutton gazing BS.
I agree
Reminds me of the old rove you magnificent bastard talk here
Or the pure genius of Palin never saying “when”
And so on
No excuse.
Law rewritten on the bench has seldom had such a glaring example. In effect, Roberts single-handedly forced all Americans to face -- up front and personal -- the epic political malpractice that is ObamaCare. "It is not our job," he added, "to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices." Wow. Tough love.Nice to see the alternative view, for a change. There was a time when conservatives believed in legislative discretion (however bad it is).
Not trying to start a fight (I haven't read the decision, yet--my fault).
Interesting article and analysis ping ...
The USA is destroyed, but boy it sure makes the Dems look bad - oh, I feel better now.
Yeah, just like the Dred Scott decision and Prohibition.
Oh, wait...
Screw the author of this article, and his psychopathic need to excuse Roberts.
I’ll come back and read this later, but there’s no lipstick applicator big enough to cover the Robert’s makeover for the Obamacare pig.
The man will forever be known for bending himself into a pretzel to grease the skids for Obamacare.
All he had to do is listen, and strike it down. It was unconstitutional. End of story...
The Obama administration argued that the fees were not new taxes, because they knew it couldn’t stand on that argument. So what did Roberts do? He declared the fees new taxes and approved the thing.
This was a uniquely ignorant thing to do. The clues were there. The Obama administration handed him his out. He completely muffed it.
So, CJ Roberts was helping us all by teaching the kids (the voters) that playing with fire (voting for Democrats) will burn you.
Sounds like CJ Roberts fans are attempting to re-establish his conservative credentials.
I will take whatever lesson we can learn from this. My family had to switch plans just this week due to OBAMACARE.
for later
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOEZ
Not Girlfriend ...
what to do what to do...
