I’m sticking to the same theory I had BEFORE the decision came down: Justice Roberts has been CHICAGO-ed.
The bottom line is this: Republicans must win the White House, take the senate, and increase their numbers in the house, and they must do it THIS NOVEMBER if we have any hope of repealing Obamacare. Because once it goes into effect, it will probably become popular, just as Medicare did in the 60s. By the time Nixon took the white house in ‘69, the GOP did not have the strength to repeal it, and we have been stuck with it for over 40 years. Let’s learn a lesson from Medicare, and get GOP candidates elected NOW!!
It makes you wonder, what do they have on Roberts, was he threatened, exactly what took place.
The legal reasoning behind Roberts decision in Obamacare is so absurd, that it makes you wonder how such a person thinks.
So Roberts is willing to issue an an opinion which future legal minds will go through, and say that the reasoning reeks to high heaven. Roberts’ legacy may well be tarnished by this, not unlike how Justice Taney was tarnished by the Dred Scott decision.
An allegedly smart legal mind such as Roberts issues an opinion which is striking in how absurd it is. I’ve never been one for conspiracy theories, but, it makes you wonder, if something happened behind the scenes to make him change his vote, and come up with ridiculous legal reasoning as a justification.
Justice Roberts must resign. He is a disgrace to all sides. If he will not resign he should be impeached for misbehavior (writing law is the job of congress, not the USSC)
Roberts did not have to be Chicago-ed. The man is apparently extremely vain and addicted to reading his own press clippings. And more concerned about being invited to the right beltway cocktail parties than the rule of law. A few nasty op-eds in the Washington Post were all that were needed to flip him.
Believe me, I’d feel much better about the guy if I honestly did think that some Chicago thug had threatened to kidnap his child and kneecap him.
Would the liberal justices ever vote to restrict the power of the federal government? They are a disgrace to the court and the Constitution they are suppose to uphold. Roberts should resign in disgrace for joining the opinion of the socialist hacks.
