The media won the war. First they call it the Affordable care Act....Who doesn’t love that name? Secondly, people have ZERO clue what Obamacare is....This is what they think it means: I am hearing people say that Obamacare is letting your children stay on your insurance until 27, letting you continuing having insurance if you get a pre-exsisting condition and let’s you stay on the insurance even if you get sick and cannot drop you. People SERIOUSLY believe this is what Obamacare is all about. This is why many people don’t mind Obamacare and the Conservatives are losing the battle pretty much in the eye of the public. We need to change the message and unfortunately we have an extremely liberal candidate in Romney who feels today is the best day in the history of the Republic...He won’t admit it but he is the reason Obamacare is even in existance...He started it with Romneycare. He is playing politics today but deep down he is proud as can be.

Roberts said it. His job is not to protect us from our elected officials. Vote ‘em out. Insist upon repeal. Get a majority, and then Senate rules be damned.

This is suppose to make me happy? If they wanted to limit the commerce clause strike down this terrible act AND overturn all the nonsense hung out on it.

Don’t forget, this monster was “deemed to pass” in the House.

Who cares about the commerce clause when you can get socialism in this way?

And he inspires the Te Party to turn out for Romney. Obama wins the battle, and the Conservatives win the election and HC overturn.

Brilliant payback to the man who tried to shame him at the State of the Union.

“Roberts said it. His job is not to protect us from our elected officials. Vote ‘em out. Insist upon repeal. Get a majority, and then Senate rules be damned.”

Obama will get his majority from illegals and other freeloaders and they will just tax you.

You and I are in agreement.

Roberts and his friends Kagan, Ginsburg, Sotomayor & Stephens redefined the manner in which the federal government can tax us, greatly expanding their power.

How is that in any way a good thing?

Yep, the young people who will be paying the obamacaretax are the ones who voted him in.

They, being young people- and our media being dishonest- are celebrating this ruling... for now.

I guess us old people should be glad that Medicare will get new funding from this tax on young and healthy people for us, but it is so cruel to treat the young this way.

Roberts, simply put, did not do his damn job! It is bad enough the other 4 on the court did not do theirs but that was expected. Roberts was supposed to be better than what we got today.

This ruling was not some kind of game like chess as so many have been asserting. It was a black-white issue. Yes or no. Up or down. And Roberts and the other 4 justices failed to do what they have been hired to do.

We no longer have people working for us in Washington in any branch of government. We are now their slaves.

By young people you mean people 26 years old & up. Because under this LAW parents are supposed to cover their ‘children’ up to 26.

All these pundits telling us was a genius Roberts is for his calculated decision. Why, it's almost Rovian in grandeur.

It's pissing me off reading it over and over.

If we have a Chief Justice making a fool's gamble that impacts 300+ million people, and uncounted millions more in the future, he's needs his filthy arse impeached.

Because he took the court out of it and gave it back to the people.

Now it is up to us to vote in the right people.
