No, Roberts is a pure Traitor.
Roberts was told to rule in favor of Odinga, or they’d go after his kids.
That’s all there is, or was, to his decision. That’s the Chicago Way.
It may be true that Obamacare is the final straw for the American people but it is too far of a stretch to claim Roberts planned this outcome. You could just as easily say the same about Pelosi.
This was my thinking, that Robert’s had set an elaborate long-term trap that would spring in the 2014 elections. Yes there was plenty of pain in between, but the actual Democrats who caused this needed to feel that pain.
My mother always said, “You be careful what you wish for as you might just get it.’ That’s what happened to the Democrats.
I get tired of people saying this tvrd of a ruling is chocolate pudding.
I don’t know if it was a curse to Republicans in the long run, but it was a curse for the American people.
Roberts either sold out or was deeply threatened, plain and simple. He was not some master chess player. IMHO.
Judge Roberts met with Obama ex parte while
he was a litigant before him.
Later, the black robe gleefully complied
in the destruction of the Constitution, Law, and
what once was, private medical care.
This may be an interesting posit 10 years from now, but Obamacare is still the law of the land and the democrats have not paid a price for it yet.
Just "maybe," but if his theory is correct, it may just be another instance of the Hand of Divine Providence giving American citizens a chance to choose liberty instead of slavery to government.
Act of judicial cowardice indeed another reason for term limits in the SC.
Ego grows with power.
A diabolical trap?
Hardly.
No, someone, somehow, with something, got to Roberts.
Even a couple of his colleagues on the Court claimed he intended to vote against Obamacare — up until nearly the last moment.
His pretzeled excuse made little sense, legally or rationally. It will go down in history as one of the most convoluted rationales ever for affirming a law.
Curse for the country!
If Roberts had made the correct ruling, WE WOULDN’T BE GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS OBAMACARE BULL**** TODAY!
Stop with the Roberts verdict...4 other justices ruled the same way.
A rube goldberg ruling on a rube goldberg law. Only Justice Roberts really knows what he was thinking.
I don’t buy it for a second but if was proved that was why he ruled he should be impeached.
Curse. No lipstick on a pig for this one. In the long run, this will be devastating for America and the GOP. I am NOT one of those conservatives that thinks that running on Obamacare is a good thing. People will see it as just another giveaway and vote Dim. Running on Obamacare is a huge mistake.
No. At this point, even if Obamacare never gets off the ground, it still will have succeeded in destroying our country. Insurance companies will go broke, hospitals will go broke, millions of people will die needlessly, doctors will quit to the point where at least half of them are immigrant doctors brought in because they are cheaper, and on and on.
Maybe the Democrats have succeeded in destroying themselves. But the Republicans at this point are no better. No hope of saving the party, IMHO. And the Tea Party is too disorganized to step in, unless they manage to unite behind a truly capable leader such as Sarah Palin. But the news media may have destroyed that chance.
Roberts did what he was blackmailed to do. If anyone caught Obama in a political trap, it was Obama and his insane leftist pals.
It was a lie—a fraud on all of us and the greenslip for unbridled gov’t.
