Or threatened. I don't put anything past this administration full of rank thugs.
Political threats are perfectly legal and may have turned Roberts, much to his disgrace. Threats against his life are illegal, unless, of course, such threats come from the NBPP.
...because that’s how it’s been done for the past 200+ years.
Tentmaker made a perfectly correct statement on another thread:
Yes. Roberts ruling is correct. It says, the govt cannot do whatever it wants under the commerce clause (YAY!). And he says Congress is granted the right to tax under the Constitution (correct). He further points out that is not the job of the Supreme Court “to save the people from the consequences of their political choices.”
Roberts did his job by upholding the Constitution.
Now, it’s time for us to do our job by voting out all the idiots who created this insane tax and then repealing it.
His two ADOPTED children are from Ireland VIA LATIN AMERICA, and it was brought up at his hearing.....believe me Obama’s detectives KNOW what’s in those ADOPTION RECORDS and is BLACKMAILING him.
ALL taxes must originate in the House. This was ad nauseum, repeatedly held as NOT A TAX. roberts, the black robed thug, just “deemed” it a tax, pulling it right out his arse, and then put his corrupt fingerprints all over HIS activist BS!
May he rot in HELL!
I too think something along the lines of that. Someone got to Roberts and threatened him to vote this way.
Respectfully disagree!
“Im not saying she is a bad choice but, the media has made Sarah poison in this country.”

The FagMedia will do the exact same to any appealing, dynamic conservative, in DIRECT proportion to their ability to mobilize long dormat Americanism.
We could always pick a useless milquetoast and avoid doing battle with the propagandizing Commies.
I think people are overthinking this. I'm thinking that what turned Roberts is nothing more difficult than lib threats to see "his" court trashed in the history books for the rest of eternity.
I think it's a legacy issue.
My abject apologies to Justice Kennedy. I had many times asserted that I did not think he had the wits or the courage to strike down ObamaCare. I was wrong.
On the other hand, I was wrong about Roberts who clearly caved to the leftwing demonization effort. He clearly valued not making ‘his’ Court political and thought the way out of that was to do the leftists’ bidding. I didn’t think he was that spineless. What a craven nonentity he’s turned out to be. Thanks again, GWB.
I think you’re right. He was more concerned about how liberal historians would view his court and his DC social standing than to do what needed to be done.
That’s patently ridiculous.
I don’t care if he is being blackmailed. He just shat all over our liberty. I hope he rots in hell like all traitors.
I could buy that because progressive academics write history.
