Nice spin. Trouble is, Roberts twisted words to achieve a facade of reasonableness. The bill calls for financial penalties on behavior deemed "antisocial" by the gubmint. The fedgov has income taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes, death taxes, but no taxes on behavior. When is the last time you paid a "tax" after getting a traffic ticket instead of a "fine?"

Roberts' opinion is based on a lie. He has sold out, for whatever reason. Calling a financial penalty a tax does not make it one.

Did I say I like what Roberts did? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

What I AM SAYING is that regardless of constitutionality of Obamacare mandates, we better get our lazy asses to the polls in November to vote against Obama and liberal democrats in congress. Roberts joining the other 4 would have made it easier. Now we will do it the hard way by turning out to vote.

Even the Massachusetts Moderate said today he will nullify Obamacare on his 1st day in office with an EO. Well..it won’t take long, will it, to see if he spoke the truth or a lie. I am willing to concede him 5 days to do what he said today.
