Roberts is guaranteed to find Obamacare UNConstitutional. Guaranteed. This article is just trying to stir the pot. Everything hinges on Kennedy, NOT Roberts. Troll author is trolling.

0bama put Elena Kagan on the court because she’s really good at using parapsychology to brainwash people. Not joking.

his is not as crazy as it first sounds. Kennedy has voted to limit Congress' Commerce Clause power twice: once in U.S. v Lopez, and again in U.S. v Morrison. He also wrote a separate concurrence stressing the limited nature of his agreement with the government in U.S. v Comstock. “This is a discrete and narrow exercise of authority over a small class of persons already subject to the federal power,” Kennedy said in defense of Congress’ power to further detain inmates already in federal prisons. Roberts simply signed on to liberal Justice Stephen Breyer's majority opinion.

This is the thinnest of gruel to judge Roberts. He wasn't on the Court for Lopez or Morrison, and the net effect of Kennedy's concurrence in Comstock was to join the majority anyway.

Another low-quality screed typical of Examiner blogs.

Good grief. When you AGREE with libs on things like No Child Left Behind, or read my lips: "no new taxes", or lowering taxes on ALL people who actually PAY them, you get crucified.

By the liberals who proposed them in the first place.

IMHO, go for the gusto if you propose conservative measures. You'll be hated by all the right people, and still keep your base.

I'm STILL waiting for all of the million member marches against unilateral action in Lybia. And assassinating people we don't "like". And imposing Federal noses in State conflicts.

This article is very thin legal reasoning, and finding Roberts to be the “most likely” of the conservatives to uphold Obamacare. Not that he will. I believe they reference a prisoners’ rights case?

Each Justice wil do what they do, but criticizing Bush over this article is ridiculous. Roberts has been a solid conservative Justice.

President Bush's list of domestic accomplishments is already pretty thin.

Thank God we had him as POTUS when we did!

I don’t see where the author offered any evidence to say Roberts might be on the wrong side of this (or any other) ruling.

Did you?

Sen. Ted Kennedy was the architect behind “No Child Left Behind”, President Bush just signed it.

George W. Bush hovers just above Jimmy Carter—well, maybe above Bill Clinton—as one of the worst Presidents in U.S. history.

Just for fun, let’s assume that the SCOTUS does NOT strike down ObamaCare, then what? WE know that ~2/3rds of Americans oppose it but, what will we do if the Court upholds it?

IMO, we will do nothing. Oh, sure, we will bluster and blather about how wrong it is but, at the end of the day, we’ll bend over and take it.

Because we LACK any REAL passion for freedom; because we LACK any REAL passion for liberty; or justice; or the Constitution.

We won’t march in the streets demanding its repeal. We won’t protest on the Capitol steps. We’ll just take it.

And, somewhere, 6 feet beneath our feet, all the patriots who stood up for freedom and liberty who wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution will be spinning in their graves. The things they fought and died for will be flushed down the drain without a whimper.

Why?

“no child left behind” is universally hated by TEACHERS UNIONS... that alone tels me there is something good about it

while I don't like big government ANY-thing, that is not their problem with it - they love big government. The thing they hate is the ACCOUNTABILITY

Teachers are held accountable for failing schools (well, at least more than they were before) and that is the part they hate
