Got on CSPAN and said it was suitable that the Democrat party, the party of Jim Crowe and slavery, has made us slaves again.

ROBERTS CONFIRMATION HEARING
SEPTEMBER 13, 2005

Senator CHARLES GRASSLEY (R – Iowa): History has provided many examples of the dangers of government by the judiciary, such as the courts decision in Dred Scott. Do you share President Lincoln’s concerns and I’m going to quote here from his first Inaugural. Quote, ‘if the policy of the government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by the decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they made in ordinary litigation, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers.’

Judge JOHN ROBERTS: Well, President Lincoln, of course, was referring to one of the, perhaps the most, egregious examples of judicial activism in our history, the Dred Scott case. In which the court went far beyond what was necessary to decide the case, and really I think historians would say that the Supreme Court tried to put itself in the position of resolving the dispute about the extension of slavery and resolving it in a particular way that it thought was best for the nation. And we saw what disastrous consequences flowed from that.

First, and most importantly, it is abundantly clear the Constitution does not guarantee that individuals may avoid taxation through inactivity. The Federal Government does have the power to impose a tax on those without health insurance.
