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?

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.

On the contrary, he reaffirmed the manner in which Congress can tax us. He removed the veil of fraud that allowed the Commerce Clause to be used to tax us to death. The GOP had a strong majority in the House for 12 years. They squandered it by being over the top liberal in their spending and eventually collapsed into the hands of Pelosi and the wild left.

Roberts basically put it back on We the People to kill this monstrosity. He took away the Left’s use of Commerce to do it. The monster was born of politics and will live or die from politics. Do We the People have the will to kill it?

By the way, old man Stephens is long gone. Alas, not so old man Breyer lives to destroy us yet again.

Small consolation but I guess all the Democrats who campaigned
on a no-tax increase for the ‘working class’ but voted for Obumble-
care lied to their constituents. May just be too early to tell just
how this all shakes out. Maybe Roberts helped us in the long run.
