I don`t get WTF so called conservatives are seeing.

The PRECEDENT has been set. The Govt. can force you to do ANYTHING under the ruse of “ it`s only a tax “ even if you do nothing. Thin kabout it, doing nothing, wanting to be left alone can be criminalized now. If you refuse to participate you`ll be fined. Fail to pay the fine, garnished wages. Got o wages, got to jail.

There is no silver lining.

I have a slightly different take. I believe that Roberts has cleverly boxed obama into a corner. There are so many interviews with dims and Obama indignantly proclaiming obamcare was not a tax. And now obama’s four supreme court lackeys call it a TAX to try to save the monster. By Roberts agreeing with their decision to call it a tax, obama has effectively enacted the largest tax increase in American history. Heck maybe the largest tax increase in the world.

You can just imagine the campaign commercials. And how does obama now criticize the supreme court? They saved his baby...but at what cost.

Every minute that goes by I see this more and more as an albatross for obama. heh heh Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

So what if the Commerce clause was limited if the taxing authority can be used to penalize for doing or not doing anything. It is the same effect. Buy a GM Obamamobile, for instance, or pay $10,000 tax if you don't.

>> The CJ and the majority (remember, by joining the majority he got to write the opinion)

YEAH! That’s a BIG DEAL!

Wait... what? The decision was 5 to 4.

WHICHEVER side the CJ joined, he’d be joining the majority!

It’s baffling why he didn’t choose to join the RIGHTEOUS majority and write THEIR opinion.

It certainly was a TAX and probably the largest tax in history! And Congress does have the Constitutional ability and right to “TAX”. The only RECOURSE to that is to throw out the legislators who want to “tax you to death” and put in those who don’t want to tax you to death.

It’s good to have the issue “clearly defined” as a tax and so that people know that “taxes” are the real issue here.

Start stocking up on popcorn for the July 9 House vote on Obamacare repeal. Remember that EVERY SINGLE RAT is up for re-election and the most optimistic poll on this turkey has 54% against.

Watching the Rats RUN RUN RUN is gonna be all kinda fun.
None of ‘em wants to become Bart Stupak. Gonna drop a real
hot potato in Harry Reid’s lap. I bet repeal gets 350 votes in the House.
