Roberts said it was a tax that was constitutionally permissable and the four witches had to go along with him ~ or lose.
So, what will Roberts say about religious rights?
It may go something like this ~ (1) you gots' ta' pay your taxes boy, (2) but an insurance premium isn't a tax, (3) you don't have to buy a policy that causes you to violate conscience.
Now that ought to put enough administrative burden on the death panel part of the whole shebang to bring it crashing down.
My logic follows pretty much from the route taken in justifying non-profit group postage rates ~ it's an immense body of law but it comes down to two simple ideas ~ you have to pay taxes, but you can evade actions that cause you to violate conscience. So tax resisters go to jail, but conscientious objectors do noncombat duty.
Roberts knowingly laid down the basis for extracting the federal government from personal affairs.
Yet, it will be MANY many years to break it down one issue & lawsuit at a time, I would think.
That will give this adminstration time to regroup think and make changes equally detremental to society. They will continue their fight until we give up, & our children are used to Obamacare and say no big deal.
With the courts it will be a very lenghty, and in the long run fruitless.
Lord, I hate living in this world any longer to have to think everything is hopeless, but alas it is. Each generation grows up with the laws and gets used to them as if nothing is wrong.
#2 & 3: you don't have to buy a policy that causes you to violate conscience....?
Well, that would apply to all of us, so then that COULD mean that each can pull out of the Employers health benefits on the grounds of Conscientious objections...
If all pulled out on those grounds, it would implode.
Just looking for angles and hoping for something here.
