Judge Posner: GOP has gone 'goofy' (another republican is slamming us conservatives)

If the Court takes what Roberts as precedent,it has great expanded the taxing power.

So why are the republicans calling it a tax? Maybe Romney’s first statement was correct. Then, as usual, he flipped.

Very well, your choice.
I don't trust him at all myself.
I've heard him in the past take liberal positions on issues way too many times.
He can call himself conservative all he wants, but IMO he's only in it for the money.

Political expedience. The Court is too useful as a means of distributing political, social .and economic power for them to beat up on it. Pretty obvious that Roberts’s opinion is nonsense, but hey.....

cede our FREEDOMS, SAFETY and SECURITY....

If you believe Mitt Romney will protect any of those three blessings, you are delusional. You seem willing to completely write off his record as Governor as not "current"? What kind of timeline would suit you? How about the scorched earth campaign against conservative candidates? That current enough for you? Or this, just yesterday, he rehired 2008 Palin hitman Kevin Madden. My dislike of this fool is just as RATIONAL as your devotion.
