“So I have no problems with that,” he said. “On the other hand, there is the issue of the setting, the circumstances and the decorum. The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the court — according the requirements of protocol — has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling.”

Roberts is a wise man. If we just had more of them on the SCOTUS we might be able to reverse the current trend and be a great nation again...a FREE nation.

I have to commend the court for venturing out of the stare decisis box and actually reading the Constitution after all these years. It’s refreshing.

On the other hand, they have to realize that after all of these decades of the “living, breathing Constitution” excuse for rendering decisions beyond the plain language of the Constitution, they’re going to get slapped around trying to right it as they remove power that should never have been granted.

10th amendment cases that are coming down the pike are going to be the big ones. Will they have the courage to restore its meaning?
