Excellent points...but the Supreme Court is supposed to be the guardian of our Constitution, and when four of the nine don't really believe in the principles underlying the Constitution, all it takes is for one of the other five to be intimidated.

Quis custodiat ipsos custodes? Who will guard the guards themselves?

The ruling on June 28th probably ranks among the four or five worst decisions by the Supreme Court in its history. I don't see any upside. The only hope is that if Obama is defeated, some of the damage can be reversed...but it will probably be impossible to undo all of the damage.

We agree. I'd rank Roberts' ObamaCare decision alongside Dred Scott (no freedom for slaves in free states), Pace v. Alabama (no interracial marriage), Plessy v. Ferguson (yes to separate but equal), and Roe v. Wade (the federal constitutional right to abortion). This will do exceptionally grave long-term damage to our country.
