The only way I can reconcile this decision is that Roberts did this so that it would be an issue against Obama in November.
There’s a clip going around with Roberts saying he would find a way to make every piece that comes to him work. He changed it from a mandate to a tax.
“”The only way I can reconcile this decision is that Roberts did this so that it would be an issue against Obama in November””
I too, would like to believe that he was sending us a message to get busy and throw all the bums out in November. Wishful thinking?
I’ve read that a lot today but I feel that’s just wishful thinking. It will be a larger issue in November but that’s not his job. His job is to judge constitutionality, which they did but they re-wrote it after they deemed it unconstitutional..
I’ve been a court watcher since the Thomas hearings and this is the most disjointed decision I can remember. Krauthammer described a mental patient mumbling in an incoherent fashion as speaking in “word salad”. Roberts’ written opinion was “word salad” ..
That's what my husband predicted. I on the other hand am devastated.
