Now here’s another article/commentary (and there’s been a slew of them) stating that the deviously super-shrewd Chief Justice ruled for Obamacare in order to make it look like a victory for the left when, in fact, he knew that it will turn out to be a gigantic victory for the right because:

1. On November 6th, the voters will rise up off of their couches, turn off the Jersey Shore episode on TV and, in their anger against the government takeover of health care, run to the polls and throw the bums (the Democrats) out and

2. Once the GOP controls the White House and the Congress, Obamacare will be rescinded and replaced. And all will be well.

I don’t know. If this is what actually happens, then I will take my hat off to the Chief Justice for being far smarter and far more prescient than I am. But if this does not happen, the nation is screwed.

the only way it will turn out good is if the conservatives take complete control and repeal onerous laws AND pass a Constitutional amendment limiting taxation. Its time for the govt to get out of social engineering and raise revenue only for its stated purposes, not to modify behavior, no more tax credits deductions favoritism etc, take the power to tax from congress and give it back to the people. Its now or never. Fair Tax time or something similar.

I’m not going to say he did it purposely, so that the public would rise up and do away with Obamacare. But I do think this could come as close to his reasoning on the court’s relationship in this as anything I’ve read.

I don’t buy into the blackmail crap. I don’t buy into the ‘give them a bone’ line of thinking, except as a secondary consequence. I suspect his having a split court allowed him to use this as a vehicle to express his views on the court not being an avenue for redress when congress doesn’t go according to the public’s wishes.

But as I said, it’s time we put all that speculation behind us. It does us no good, and takes time away from what we need to do; abolish this abomination. We need to stop looking back.
