I believe that. But I don’t believe all the spin on FR that this was a bad thing that happened to conservatives today. In the coming days and weeks, I think some FReepers will recant their position today that Roberts is a traitor to the cause.
Yes, the timing of this could not be better for the push to kill this monstrosity. I was watching Stuart Varney last night and he was talking about why Romney is smart to stay focused on the economy. Growth is about 1 1/5%, the unemployment figures are due out next week. Varney is saying that there is expectation that unemployment claims will be increasing and the unemployment rate will likely go up over 8.2%.
Would you want to be a liberal pushing hard for this Obamacare monstrosity in light of this? If we as conservatives can’t take this and destroy the Left in light of the overall condition of the economy and our nation as a whole, maybe we deserve to go down. Obama can crow all he wants over his ‘victory’. He has to deal with the 50% who pay the income tax while 50% pay none. We aren’t dead yet and the stage is set for us to take it back.
We have to look at all angles of this before we determine that Roberts killed us. In truth, he got all the liberal justices to agree that the premise of the law under Commerce is unconstitutional. We have to do the rest.
