I hope it’s the law of unintended consequences and it bites them hard... but as for some master stroke of genius I doubt it.

It was a lie.

So was John Roberts a gutless traitor to the American nation and people?

"YES"

(could have been a very short article).

I'm not buying it. The blackmail theory is way more probable.

Roberts helped reelect Obama. ‘Nuff said.

Roberts said it was the voters' responsibility to put people in Congress who would do what the voters wanted, and he's right. If so many people are against Obamacare, we need to tap into that dissatisfaction with GOOD candidates who are willing to repeal it, no ifs, ands, or buts.

I frankly think that repeal of Obamacare, and the boost to the economy that one act would bring, should be the MOST important issue in 2014. There is a lot of meat for campaign speeches based on how the economy can soar without the limiting chains of government intervention, Obamacare being only the most recent, but the most immediately oppressive.

Why all these games? Why all these political machinations in the HOPES of achieving an outcome that will embarrass political rivals? Can we not be straight-forward anymore—point to the Constitution as a basis, a measure to conduct ourselves and keep ourselves in alignment?

I guess that’s just too honest, too proper. Let’s just play games with the foundation of this country. Gosh, I guess it doesn’t matter anyway...

The simple & logical explanation is the correct one. Bill Dunne believes what he wishes to be true, not what is.

Roberts sold us out. Bought and paid for. So much for his country and the Constitution.

Obozo’s people have dirt on (at least) 75% of the Republicans. And they use it very successfully.

There is no good reason, absolutely nothing that can justify a Supreme Court ruling approving such a blatant expansion of government power over private citizens. The consequences of Roberts’ cowardice will shape the America our grand-children and their grand-children will live in. Taking comfort in fantasies about how Americans are getting a life lesson in the dangers of government over-reach by approving government over-reach is no different than rejoicing in the important lesson people learn about fire safety after their city is burned down to the ground.

Roberts’ misbehavior was so flagrant that his fellow Justices on the USSC were appalled. Misbehavior of this importance can be impeached by the House of Representatives... and IMHO it should be.

[Logical me]

Maybe we should reflect on the millions that lost heath care or cannot afford to buy and have suffered health problems that they cannot get relief. He changed a law from he bench to a tax. No excuse.
