It is the place of the supreme court to defend the constitution. Roberts did not do that. He called this thing a tax which the legislature did not do. HE acted beyonsd his scope. HE committed treason.

So how would you like your turd sandwhich? with or without ketchup?

Roberts didn't call it a tax. The govt lawyers, in arguing the case before SCOTUS presented three arguments for ObamaCare:
  1. the commerce clause - SCOTUS ruled NO
  2. necessary and proper clause - SCOTUS ruled NO
  3. it's a tax - SCOTUS ruled YES

Roberts just said, hmmm, so you want to call it a tax. Okay, it's a tax. Now what? If they call it a tax, it's doomed politically, financially and maybe also constitutionally. Since I can't argue that it's not a tax, and Congress does have the power to set taxes, let's give them what they want.

It's the same as when an Aikido or Judo master uses the energy of an opponent to throw them across the room. Roberts just threw ObamaCare under the bus and he used their own arguments to do it. He is right and he did what is best for the country.

ObamaCare is insane and the curtains have now been removed so everybody can see what it really is. It will not survive this and neither will Obama or any Democrat who voted for it when it was NOT a tax.
