Dr. Jerry’s rally call view right before this one, I think, is a must read as well.

Now, now didn’t you get the tweet? To take any negatives away from Hussein, it’s not called ObamaCare but Affordable Health Care which sounds so much more warm and fuzzy.
It is so extraordinarily naive to expect the federal government(scotus) to restrain the federal government.
Dear Chief Injustice Roberts:
The people spoke regarding RobertsTaxation in the 2010 Congressional elections.
Mobocracy? I didn't vote for Barry, or Pelosi or Reid. That is why we used to be a Republic, to protect the liberty of the few from the unchecked will of the many. Thanks to Roberts and others of his ilk, it seems we have been unable to keep our Republic and now have the mob rule of democracy.
The French Revolution provides insight as to how that works in practice.
Someone else is seeing the truth.
Roberts played the long game by putting this back in Obama’s lap, and making him and the legislature, and hopefully, we who will vote, the final arbiters of this matter.
Get out into your neighborhoods and register people to vote.
“This election will now be held largely on the issue of Obama Care. If the President wins this will be seen as a vindication of that act and of the philosophy behind it. If the President fails of election the Act will be repealed,”
Either way our Constitutional republic and with it our liberty is lost to the shifting despotism of democracy.
The very propose of the Constitution was to insure that Government remained limited in what it could do so that politicians either acting on behalf of the mob or their own vocation could not simply do whatever they wanted to us.
The founders knew thou-out history that this could only lead to the worse kind of despotism.
In addition to now being able to attend all those liberal cocktail parties, Benedict Roberts has earned back an invitation to Obama’s state of the union message in February unless, of course, if Obama is evicted in November
fyi
Jerry Pournelle is my favorite Science Fiction Writer. I don’t agree with him, but I respect his opinion. He thinks better of the electorate than they deserve. They will vote for “free stuff” until the country is destroyed.
The only thing standing between America and a Dictatorship is The Roberts Court. We have 3 branches of government. Obama has neutered Congress, and has been attacking the court since his first State of the Union. His intent is clear. Destroying 2 of the 3 branches leaves only the Executive.
The court maintains authority only so long as the country perceives it as legitimate. Roberts ruling gives the power to keep or strike Obamacare to the people while maintaining the integrity of the court, strengthening the 10th Amendment, limiting Federal Power, removing the teeth of the law, and, by accurately identifying it as a tax, providing clear procedures for repeal. Brilliant.
If America doesn’t want Obamacare we must get rid of Obama. What the Chief Justice gave us was the ability to use free will. There’s nothing more Constitutional than that.
