Did you read the part of Roberts’ opinion that called for smaller government?
Would being partison and voting against Obamacare accomplished that? I don’t think so.
Roberts also let state opt out.
Tied it to the commerce clause
Tied it to the dims and a tax.
That wouldn’t have happened if they had just voted against it.
Read the thread that compares Madison and Roberts.
There are also references in some articles to the Marshall Court and the Roberts Court. They both forced liberal presidents to toe the conservative line.......stay tuned.
Being partisan and supporting 0bama and the ‘rats didn’t put the issue back in 0bama’s lap. Swatting it down would have put it back on Zer0’s agenda. As it is now, The W0n can move on.
“Did you read the part of Roberts’ opinion that called for smaller government?”
Anther moment of backstabbing hypocracicy eh?
There is nothing whatsoever “partison” about upholding the limits of the Federal Constitution. Even Kennedy did it. To call such a thing partisan is a sick dilution of partisan politics. LEFTIST partisan politics!
“Roberts also let state opt out.”
O thank you very much dictator John Roberts for drawing yet anther artificial line in the Text. Might I remind the dishonorable John that the Federal Constitution no more mentions the power of Washington to give our States money for Medicare than Obamacare? If he is to decide it is unconstitutional for Washington to alter its unconstitutional scheme perhaps he could do what the Original authors of that scheme failed to do and find its authorization in the Federal Constitution?
Before rendering the clause pointless.
The democrats and their voters could care even less about the “logic” of John than I do. The democrats like me care about the ends accomplished here not John’s means. Those ends are a boundless(constitutionless) Federal Government subject only to the shifting despotism of democracy.
Besides I thought Traitor John was being “non-partisan” *rolls eyes* at the hypocritical tyrant in Washington.
That wouldn’t have been necessary to even mention. As it is Robert’s dicta will not do one thing to enhance our position as the liberal injustice have never and will never respect any precedent unless they find it advantageous to advancing their ideology. Courting them serves no propose, and as Traitor John just demonstrated replacing them on the bench is equally useless.
It is the opinion of this traitor to our Constitutional law that we are condemned to the shifting despotic passions of democracy, and thus no longer a Constitutional(limited) republic of any meaningful form.
I’m sorry but as illustrated by the chief injustice there is no longer any reason to hope for our liberty under this “federal government”.
We can never hope to keep the mob’s shifting passions from trampling upon our liberty, without the protection of a Constitution. As much as you might like to the idea, winning every election is nether possible nor desirable. If it were we would have no elections and we would need no Constitutional republic.
Nor can we (as Traitor John demonstrated by HIS individual act) simply replace the ones that would permit such unbound(unconstitutional) power. The experience with John himself among many others exposes the fact that too many of them would rather stab us in the bag than give us the liberty Our constitution demands. We can win enough elections to appoint the majority of the Federal “injustices”(as we have) and still never have a real written Constitution of civil government under them, due to the high propensity of their corrupted treachery(like John Roberts).
Our one remaining hope for liberty involves the destruction of this “Federal Government” and rebuilding in its place or somewhere else(if secession be necessary) the foundation of liberty(a real Constitution).
“They both forced liberal presidents to toe the conservative line.......stay tuned.”
If Thomas Jefferson was a liberal than so am I, and Obama is not.
Now that's funny. Obamacare is going to become just like Roe v. Wade the Republican Party will say they're for overturning/repealing/restricting it but will do nothing when they have the opportunity. Don't you remember when the Republicans had both the Executive and Legislative? How many times was illegalizing abortion brought up??
