I don’t see it that way.
Obama had set things up so that his ‘supporters’ got waivers.
With Roberts stipulating that it WAS A TAX, these waivers are not valid.
Obama is being hoisted by his own petard, and yet most seem to think Roberts should be hanged.
Misinformed public, is all I can say.
“With Roberts stipulating that it WAS A TAX, these waivers are not valid.”
Oh yeah, cuz Obama and Pelosi always follow the law. Naive much?
Those waivers are going nowhere. Surprised Roberts didn’t add that to the bill too.
Please read today’s WSJ lead editorial.
Misinformed public, is all I can say.
Er, what if Roberts voted to declare the whole thing unconstitutional like Kennedy et. al.?
Would we not be in a better position today?
Who is misinformed?
The silver lining you see is simply the border separating real conservatives from republicans.
We conservatives have been had. We lose credibility everytime we stand behind someone with our support declaring them to be conservative and they end up being a BIG government liberal and that loss is much bigger than if we had named him the RINO he really is but said we'd give him a chance.
You also seem to forget Robert's on Arizona a few days ago.
You still insist he is on our side?
We were worried about where Kennedy would stand and it was one of "our own" that gave it to Obama. Geez!
Misinformed public, is all I can say.
All I can say is please try to understand government power. The Statists are gaining more power. They are not looking to work within the bounds of law or fairness. They lust after pure power.
Tell me, how exactly will the waivers go away?
Tell me the time frame that they will go away.
Do you realize that each month this monstrosity stands that the sadistic bureaucrats are cranking out more and more regulations. They are building an insidious web to snare us all.
They know how to weave benefits to enough "classes" of people in such a way that they will scream bloody H*ll if they are cut.
No, far from having Obama hoisted on his ow petard, the evil Roberts has guranteed the cancer of State control to accelerate.
I don't Roberts hanged. I want him to spend a long life and have him realize the utter evil he has unleashed on the American people. I want him to die as an old, humiliated, scorned and ridiculed POS that he has shown himself clearly to be.
You really don’t think his supporters can’t get out of any fee, tax, penalty, etc.? Remind me again how many in Congress forget to pay their taxes. It happens every day.
Obama is vermin. He's still going around saying it's a penalty. Now how does that work?! The Supreme Court rules, albeit a weak ruling, so the emperor thinks he can still change the ruling!?! What the heck?

Misinformed public, is all I can say.
What part of voting with Kagan did you miss?

What part of voting with Kagan did you miss? The court ruled that there is no limit to the Federal government as long as they call it a tax.
Yes, that cagy Roberts really screwed Obama. And that is why Obama’s stoolies, Kagan and Sortamywhore, voted with Roberts to screw their boss.
Yeah. Right. Sure. Too funny.
Not misinformed at all. Robert’s ruled that the Imperial Federal Government can compel and individual to do whatever it wants, so long as there is a penalty for non compliance. America is dead.
Sez who? You? They are in the law that Roberts upheld. Never heard of a tax that could be waived legally for your political cronies? Me either, up until now. Get used to it. This is the New US Government, brought to you by the ruling class of both parties.
