After extensive research, I found a precedent in medieval English law that makes about as much sense as Chief Justice Robert's decision. I have taken the liberty of applying Robert's logic to that historical narrative for that case:
CROWD: Obamacare! Obamacare! We've got Obamacare!
VILLAGER #1: We have Obamacare, can we uphold it?
CROWD: Uphold it! Uphold it!
BEDEMIR: How do you know it’s Constitutional?
VILLAGER #2: Because Pelosi said so?.
BEDEMIR: Bring it forward.
WITCH: I'm not a tax. I'm a mandate.
BEDEMIR: But you are dressed as a tax.
WITCH: They dressed me up like this.
VILLAGER #2 Uphold it anyway!
CROWD: Uphold it! Uphold it!
BEDEMIR: Quiet, quiet. Quiet! There are ways of telling whether she is a tax.
CROWD: Are there? What are they?
BEDEMIR: Tell me, what do you do with taxes?
VILLAGER #2: Raise them!
CROWD: Raise raise them up!
BEDEMIR: So, how do we tell whether she is a tax?
VILLAGER #1: Watch CNN?
BEDEMIR: If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck? Then it is…
ARTHUR: A duck.
CROWD: Oooh.
BEDEMIR: Exactly! So, logically...,
VILLAGER #1: If... if she weighs as much as a duck...
BEDEMIR: And therefore--?
VILLAGER #1: A tax!
CROWD: A tax!
BEDEMIR: We shall use my larger scales!
[yelling]
BEDEMIR: Right, remove the supports!
[whop]
[creak]
CROWD: A tax! A tax!
WITCH: At least my case made it to the Supreme Court.
What? It is SCOTTISH law dammit!
Roberts forever tainted.
Too bad Romney wasn’t turned into a Newt.
very good...
"um, look, if we built this large wooden Badger..."
” - - - Too bad Romney wasn’t turned into a Newt.”
All that has to be done is to have the Convention Delegates vote to ABSTAIN on the first ballot in Tampa.
This would DUMP Romney, and open the floor to nominate Newt, or we could do nothing and watch Romney lose by 10 % to Obama in November.
**** roberts... and for the rest of his what I hope is a short and miserable life.
LLS
Brave Sir Roberts ran away... bravely ran away away!
When Obamacare reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his head and fled, brave brave Sir Roberts!
Yes, brave Sir Roberts turned about, and gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat!
Bravest of the brave, Sir Roberts!
It is not lawful to make a punative fine a tax.
