I disagree.
Judge Roberts' decision is a wake up call to Americans telling us that a BS decision from Congress and President (idiots voted into office by the American people) is LAW -- whether we like it or not.
In so doing, Roberts is forcing Americans to take it, and perhaps change it, via elections.
The Supreme Court is not a law making organization: the legislature and executive branches of government are.
Once again, Roberts voted WITH Kagan, Sotomayor, Ginsburg and Breyer!!!!
How can you defend that?
Roberts HAD to rewrite that law. Otherwise his blackmailers were going to expose his homo past.
You mean his homo present, as well.
He simply ignored the “plain meaning” rule of statutory construction, turned his court of law into one sitting in chancery and hauled out an equitable maxim that fit his foot.
So he made law—which he/the court can do—but saying that he was deferring to the legislature is as disingenuous as the Democrats saying:
“It’s not a tax—heavens no—at least for political purposes! But it is a tax (as we argued before the court) if that’s the only way we can get into the public’s pockets.”
“Judge Roberts’ decision is a wake up call to Americans telling us that a BS decision from Congress and President (idiots voted into office by the American people) is LAW — whether we like it or not.”
NO,, it was Roberts responsibility, his task, the only thing he’s paid for,, to strike down such a law that is a clear violation of the constitution. He did us no favors.
You might have a point. It’s clear that they own him.
Roberts HAD to rewrite that law. Otherwise his blackmailers were going to expose his homo past.
That appears to be it. And maybe his homo present.
If my recollection from earlier posts on this, the obamatax that was forced through Congress contains the stipulation that the government has the right to direct access to your bank account. In other words, if you don’t pay it, they can take it.
“The Supreme Court is not a law making organization”
That’s what they say, but watch what they **do** with, say: abortion, prayer in schools, holiday nativity scenes, automatic weapons, freedom of expression & assembly, 5th amendment takings of private property, and on and on.
So do you believe the Court should not have the power of judicial review?
bump for later reading
I think the conservatives on the SCOTUS made it very plain in their dissent that Roberts did not "review" but flagrantly took it upon himself to write new law".
Roberts would have allowed Hitler’s “Enabling Law” on the basis that it wasn’t his job to protect the German people from the consequences of their actions.
