Yes indeed!
SORRY! This is NOT the job of the Supreme Court! They are suppose to rule on Constitutionality, not anything else!
That means that Roberts did NOT do his duty. Not only that but he disregarded his duty to the Constitution.
Anything else is just an excuse for his vote.
Yes, I am getting madder by the day!!
Yep, that’s about it. We need to work hard between now and November!
“That’s undoubtedly what Roberts is telling the nation: Your job, not mine. I won’t make it easy for you.”
Time to impeach the moron.
We can stop the ObamaCareTax with whats in pave now.
All Roberts and the Supreme Court had to do was either find the law Constitutional or unconstitutional. Period. What he did amounts to psycobable.
Does that mean the fact Thief Justice roberts is a duplicitous jackass who actively refused to do his job had nothing to do with it?
Why did he do it? Because he carries two identities. Jurisprudentially, he is a constitutional conservative. Institutionally, he is chief justice and sees himself as uniquely entrusted with the custodianship of the court’s legitimacy, reputation and stature.Really? Because by ignoring his own understanding of the illegitimacy of the law, he has damaged the stature of the Supreme Court immeasurably and irredeemably. It makes no sense at all.
Krauthammer himself says he'd have ruled differently.
There is nothing positive about the Roberts ruling, including his motives - whatever they may have been. Achieving a bad result by doing the wrong thing - deliberately - is wrong.
You don't have to be a lawyer or a judge to understand that. John Roberts is either a very bad justice or a very bad man, or both.
It appears as though Roberts may have a large cult following. According to the Yahoo front page, Roberts’ ruling has made ObamaCare very popular with “Republicans and independents”.
That Miers nomination is looking better and better all the time.
Nope, Roberts nullified the Constitution with this ruling. It will take 2 more Conservatives on the Court to isolate this bastard. No Conservative issue is ever going to get fair hearing as long as the lefty gang of five is there. They will make every lefty crackpot law and lawsuit legal and dismiss a Conservative law and lawsuit as political. This ruling FUBAR any fair hearings in the future.
Then why did Roberts re-write the legislation in the first place?
4 dissenting justices knew this was judicial activism. An appeals court knew this was judicial activism. We know this is judicial activism. Hell, even the 4 dissenting libs knew this was judicial activism.
Roberts knew the law, none better. He knew this was a commerce clause case, he even said it was, but he amended the law to make it a tax case.
The only ones who don't know that this is judicial activism are the Krauthammers and others who are defending this despicable ruling.
List o the senate seat that are contested can be found at WIKIpedia. Good chart. We need to get to work.
Changing his vote alienated the conservatives on the Court, screwing the pooch on protecting his inner Rodney King.
Not upholding the Constitution (what happened to the lack of a severability clause in the legislation) and actively rewriting law from the bench shot his legitimacy and legacy with conservative Americans for years to come.
And Roberts is A D A. He opened a door for congress to pass outlandish laws if they have a tax applied!!!
Its not Roberts job to anoint winners and losers based on his thought process. He is to rule over constitutionality. He is epic fail. Some could argue his behavior was treasonous.
“Which moron, Roberts or Obama?”other
Brother of another color.
If Obamacare had been repealed the economy would have responded in a very positive way. Don’t you think the White House would have take all the credit?! How many voters would realize that the resulting resurgence was IN SPITE of the administration.
I would have certainly preferred that it had been repealed, but you look for whatever bright side you can.
If the GOP can retake the Senate and repeal this monstrosity, then we come out of it with a fully repudiated Democratic Party and a Commerce Clause that has been reigned in by the Supreme Court.
