I don't like the Huckster too much, but he nailed it here...

A jail cell would help him sort out his emotions.

I'm no fan of ObamaCare and I don't like the results of either court decision, but in these two cases Roberts was at least consistent, not schizophrenic. In both cases he expressed a clear preference for a legislative remedy for the issue at hand. In both of his decisions on ObamaCare, he has basically said that it wasn't the court's role to fix or overturn an idiotic law -- at least on the grounds that were before the court in those cases.

He has pointed the finger at Congress and told it to fix the stupid law itself. I can't say I disagree with him on that one.

All this proves is that Huckster is smart enough to parrot what Scalia wrote.

"I don't like the Huckster too much, but he nailed it here..."

I don't like Huckster at all.

He needs to be impeached.

You got it exactly wrong. He said in the Obamacare ruling last week that the law didn’t really mean state when it clearly said state. In other words, he “fixed” the law to mean “the Union” or “the Federal Government” where it clearly meant the states.

In the gay marriage ruling the next day, he said SCOTUS cannot fix bad law.

Huckabee has it exactly right, except the reason is not schizophrenia, it is craven deception. The only reason he opined as he did on gay marriage is because his vote was not needed to satisfy his progressive masters - so he tried to rebuild his conservative facade.

Roberts is a purely evil man.

On the matters that have come before the court up to this point, ObamaCare is a very ambiguously worded law. It's a bad statute from top to bottom even aside from the legal/moral principles involved.

My prediction is that Roberts is going to write the majority opinion -- and an eloquent, effective one at that -- in a case that ultimately will overturn key provisions of ObamaCare. Based on what I've seen up to now, I believe it will be one of the many religious liberty cases winding their way through the Federal courts. Remember that Hobby Lobby successfully won a stay against the U.S. government in their ObamaCare challenge on these very grounds, which have always (and I've said this since 2010) been the strongest basis for a legal challenge to ObamaCare.

Lotsa luck on that, you balless RINOs.

SCOTUS has effectively telegraphed to the district and circuit courts that Obamacare is too big to fail; and all the judges are now (even more) empowered to rewrite statutory language for that outcome.

As long as the districts and circuits follow the lead, SCOTUS won't have any reason to hear one of the cases you allude to.

After the obamacare case and now the gay marriage case - where religious liberty and state’s rights were eviscerated, you really believe that?

I passed by a television this morning tuned to CNN. Some idiotic CNN guy - Roberts I think - state that Governors put their hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the laws so how can the reconcile not doing that with this decision? I thought, hell, Obama does that all the time. Watching the gymnastics contortions of a liberal mind is scary.

You been spending too much time in Denver smoking those legal joints and it has fogged your ability to reason.

Actually, Roberts needs to be impeached. It might prevent any further cases of “schizophrenia”.

RE: I don’t like Huckster at all.

In this case, the phrase “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” applies.

Why not just say it, Hucky?

ROBERTS IS COMPROMISED.

But, I don’t want him to step down during the Obama admin.
But... he and the conservative justices could simply refuse to hear any case for the next 2 years.

There is not a chance that Roberts will be party to any ruling overturning ObamaCare. He has already laid his marker in service to this horrendous law - including his ruling last week; going so far as to re-write bad law to make it palatable to his sensibilities. He did the same earlier when he willingly called a penalty a tax in order to strike down the constitutional challenge to requiring everyone to buy medical insurance.

Roberts has gone over. You rest your hopes in him at your peril; he will betray you every time his vote is needed to uphold conservative values.

The problem is Huckabee is a Stalking Horse. He’s there to spoil and split conservative votes. He has to say stuff like this to keep his street cred so he can bring more ruin.

Incorrect. The clear text of the Obamacare Subsidy portion was simply ignored, and they guessed what was meant instead. That is a judicial activist overturning of the English language.

Rush Limbaugh, in 2008, stated we were in a Post-Constitutional phase.

Mark Levin, in 2012, stated we were in a Post-Law phase.

I, in 2015, state we are in a Post-English-Language phase.
