Perhaps the worst part of this decision is that it stands for the proposition that the Supreme Court has no interest in the TRUTH.
Obama and the democrats insisted that this was not a TAX. They even argued that in court, but in the final analysis it was clear that unless the mandate was a TAX then it could not be constitutional even by the most liberal interpretation of the law. Then they changed tunes and claimed that it wasn’t a “penalty” but a tax. The Supreme Court then accepted that argument, ignored all the LIES that the Obama attorneys had said in court and then ruled on the basis that it was a TAX.
I think Daryl Issa should call a hearing on the procedures that the Supreme Court used on this case. He should call each and every Justice before his committee and ask them directly “DID YOU EVEN READ THIS LAW BEFORE YOU DECLARED IT CONSTITUTIONAL”.
If they are called, they will LIE. They don’t give a damn about the TRUTH.
We no longer are a Constitutional republic. We are an Oligarchy and a Dictatorship.
WE THE PEOPLE have no contract with this government.
Theses injustices care even less for liberty & constitutional law than they do for the truth.
We are now a European socialist state.
Better to be of the German variety than the Spanish/Greek.
German Engineering, Baby!
