The ugly fact is, this decision and betrayal by Roberts not only has upheld the abominable 0bamaCare legislation, it has empowered the executive branch and the effect will be to embolden the institutional fascists who infest both the 'Rat and Republican parties. They are always after more power, and have just received a major truck load of it, thanks to the Roberts Court.

Rush Limbaugh spoke of what 0bamaCare is about, and it is NOT about 'health care', it is about CONTROL of the behavior of our population, and by seizing hold of 'health care', that insures that the federal leviathan will now reach further into our lives, violating our freedoms and liberties in even more insidious ways than we've seen to this point.

Everyone is saying "oh wait, come November we're gonna throw those bums out" or variations on that theme, but nobody seems to be considering exactly what our federal-imperial masters in Washington may attempt between now and the general election, assuming that we still have one.

The beast (meaning the federal government) has just been fed a huge meal of power, authority and license to do damn near anything it wants to do, the Judiciary has abdicated it's role as a Constitutional tripwire, as a restraining muzzle on unbridled federal power, and you can best believe that the Executive and Legislative Branches are going to take advantage of it, and exploit any and all opportunities to exert, extend and increase their power over the lives of their subjects (I say 'subjects' because that is what we have been transformed into with this ruling by the SCOTUS, we are no longer 'citizens' of the United States, we are indeed subjects, living under the benevolence or (more likely) the malevolence of those in control of the federal apparatus in Washington.

Now there is a side of me that would like very much to believe that at the last minute, Roberts was 'given the message' to change his vote "or else" with the 'or else' being an implied trip to Ft. Marcy Park, or to enjoy coffee and donuts with Ron Brown somewhere in the hereafter. IF that occurred, I would be more than disappointed that Roberts didn't tell the bastards to kiss his ass and do their worst, that he would vote as he believed was proper. Unless some sort of SCOTUS mole should begin feeding hidden internal information to the public, we'll never know.

There are eerie parallels so far as the ultimate effect on the 'subjects' (former citizens) in these United States, and the infamous 1933 'Enabling Act' in Germany, in that the authority of the executive branch of government was expanded exponentially due to the political malpractice of government officials who should have known better, but chose the easy path of political expediency for the sake of avoiding confrontation or actually upholding the laws as defined in the respective Constitutions.

Our descent into even deeper and darker fascist waters has just been accelerated.

Wait, wait, Help is on the way LOL

There were also some short-sighted new House members who last year were telling the MSM that they didn't care if they were re-elected. I know that resonated with a number but I thought it was kind of silly. The Republicans may have held off a few bills with the house but they accomplished nothing got nothing passed through Obama that he didnt demand, To go home after just that and give Pelosi power back after just this one term would be a complete waste.

Even if Republicans get power, what will they have the guts to actually do?
