What an inappropriate joke. Americans aren't laughing.
Defeating Obama and repealing Obamacare: "the stuff that dreams are made of."
There’s a couple podcasts dealing with the Obamacare decision by John Yoo & libertarian legal superstar Richard Epstein that my fellow Freepers might be interested in. The first was done just hours after the Obamacare decision came down on 6/28; the second was done yesterday, 6/29, as part of a regular series that the two have done for Ricochet.com for some time:
1)(About the first half is with Epstein & Yoo on the decision; then other people join in.)

And while I’m at it here’s the podcast done hours after the decision by David B. Rivkin, Jr. for the Federalist Society. He was one of the main lawyers involved in this case.

Epstein, Yoo & Rivkin are pretty unhappy. If you are too and you want to climb out of your deep despair, read this article by Randy Barnett, who is described by many as the intellectual architect of the case against Obamacare:
Randy Barnett says Roberts tax power argument is lame but easily fixed
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2901281/posts
Barnett thinks that the wins on the Commerce Clause, Necessary & Proper Clause, and Spending Clause have greater staying power than does Roberts’ “lame” expansion of Congress’ taxing power.
Maybe John Roberts should follow St. Paul’s example and spend three months on Malta.
You just explained why he chose to write the majority oppinion. It would look a lot worse if Roberts didn’t try to exlain his vote.
F***in’ Stazi.
