OK, then, you tell me why Roberts gave a decision that he obviously HATED giving.

And while you’re at it, why don’t you tell me why he gave an ex part invitation to Obama on the very day that SCOTUS was considering Donofrio’s eligibility lawsuit.

And why he botched the oath and then re-did it without any video taken of it.

And why he claimed that the justices can be trusted to recuse themselves when it is appropriate - even though Kagan and Sotomayor had both refused to recuse themselves after being specifically requested to do so since the case involved their very position as SCOTUS justices. Notice, also, that Kagan did not recuse herself from this decision even though she had prepared the legal defense on behalf of Obama. IOW, Kagan has committed the 2 most blatant breaches of judicial ethics which exist - deciding a case where your job is the issue being decided, and deciding a case you were previously a party to. So why did Roberts affirm the appropriateness of Kagan’s non-recusals in those 2 blatant instances (one having just occurred and the other pending in the Obamacare case)?

Let’s hear your explanations for those things.

If the REASONS for a person saying something make the difference, and not necessarily the accuracy of what they’ve said - then I’d like o hear why these are “moonbat” REASONS to suspect that Roberts is compromised.

I have heard legal scholars explain that in order to get a majority opinion you have to bring on four other justices. So with that reasoning one could say four liberal justices agreed that the mandate argued in the commerce clause, that the government could not create commerce and make you buy their product that would make it unconstitutional.
A tax is constitutional my problem now is that taxes are levied on income. What if a company is not making a profit, then to do business your are taxed before you open your doors for business? Will that lead to seizing assets? In Greece their health care system is on the verge of collapse, it you do not pay your taxes you lose your insurance and you are put into free clinics. HHS just sent a boat load of money into free clinics.

“OK, then, you tell me why Roberts gave a decision that he obviously HATED giving.”

Oh, gee, I don’t know. Maybe he hates the law, but actually thinks Congress has a right to pass it under their taxation powers.

“And while you’re at it, why don’t you tell me why he gave an ex part invitation to Obama on the very day that SCOTUS was considering Donofrio’s eligibility lawsuit.”

Perhaps Obama asked for the invitation and he was being polite and respectful to the office of the Presidency.

I’m not going to dignify the rest of your stuff with simpler explanations for the facts, though I remain fully capable of doing so, because I’m being paid by the Gnomes of Zurich to be part of the Marxist/Islamist conspiracy. Or possibly because I don’t feel like wasting my time debating people like you. Take your pick as to which explanation is more reasonable.
