Ask him....
why does a RINO need to be blackmailed to vote like a RINO? I never believed in that crap. The problem is not blackmail - the problem is Roberts.
Google John Roberts, Ireland, adoption to discover the theories
Other than the sheer insanity of the ruling itself I haven’t seen any. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, I just haven’t seen it. Hard pressed to explain the ruling otherwise though.
Occam’s Razor
Roberts was against it before he was for it.
Blackmailed-probably not.
Threatened-yes.
No. The terrible thing is that, thanks to the income tax amendment, a penalty can be assessed as an income tax.
Taxation used to be a much more difficult thing for the federal government. The income tax amendment gave them all sorts of nearly arbitrary taxing power.
In theory a tax could be imposed on people for simply saying things the government doesn’t like. Scarey but true.
There are several possibilities but it seems that by declaring the fee to be a tax he might have opened an avenue because the tax part of it made it a revenue bill which must originate as a revenue bill in the house. If it did not originate there as a taxing bill in its current format then it might not be constitutional.
A retired judge whom I know well believes that Roberts was gotten to somehow because he switched sides and would not discuss it with his former allies. Roberts simply could face and not explain himself to those colleagues who know him best. This is unusual conduct by a judge because it is a transgression against the principles of collegiality that are intended to govern appellate courts.
Is there any evidence he wasn’t?
No...other than how twisted and flawed the logic of his decision was. Either someone got to him, or he went rogue. I say he went rogue trying to establish his legacy. It’s a crappy legacy, but he’s got one now.
No
Roberts is the Chief Justice and did what he was hired to do.
He said at his confirmation that that his job was not to pick sides but be an umpire, to many in this country today confuse the term conservative in the context of the supreme Court with the political term.
A Conservative Justice will find a law passed by the Congress constitutional if at all possible. A conservative justice gives the will of the people expressed through their representatives precedence.
IMO Roberts looked at the dysfunctional Congress and simply said you guys passed this this.. deal with it...
He’s a closeted homosexual. Did pro bono work for a homosexual organization. There are photos of him with two of the guys, he looks just like them. His marriage is fake. He did an illegal adoption of two Irish children via Latin America. It’s all very creepy, and Bush was a jerk to appoint him.
I’ve wondered if they had something on him like the Corleone family had on the southern Senator in “The Godfather Part II”.
Roberts’ illegal adoption is sufficient evidence. For all we know he might have blackmailed himself over it. Scaredy cat. It’s naive to think that there are explicit blackmail situations in Washington, horses’ heads in beds, like in silly Hollywood fantasies. A word can be passed to third, fourth and fifth persons, to a waiter at Trader Vic’s, valet parking attendant, and that is sufficient. I’ve seen it done in business, where a security guard, who wasn’t even working directly for the company that he guarded, was the ear and the mouth of the CEO. We know about your adoption, pal, it’s Chinatown!
One of the best solution to the deity known as the Supreme Court is to televise every single minute while in session. SCOTUS Tv
Judges are bought all the time. Frank Wilson's impartial judgement of "Not Guilty" on a murder charge, resulting from a Mob hit, cost $10,000.
It's the Chicago Way.
Evidence is not required. Roberts changed his mind at the last minute and that cannot be explained logically by anyone no matter what is said. SCOTUS spent the first day of oral hearings listening to arguments on the Anti Injunction Act of 1867 and everyone appeared to agree that Obamacare’s penalty was not a tax and therefore the case could continue. Otherwise if it were admitted to be a tax and no one had yet been taxed case should have been thrown out RIGHT ON THE SPOT.
