Roberts was playing tiddlywinks. Or beer pong.

More like Crack Pipe.

I blame Bush

First of all it's President Bush to you.

Second: Did you vote for McCain or sit the election out?

And finally Third, You know damn well President Bush was ineligible to run again, Or did you expect him to proclaim a EO that there would no presidential election in 2008?

You are really stretching it beyond idiotic

I think I agree that it is Republicans job to defeat this, just as it was Dems to pass it into law.

Many Republicans thought they could get the SCOTUS to do it so Republicans could avoid getting any blame for doing it.

he told Americans that “You elected these people, they are your representatives, and you have to live with their actions.”

Not if their actions are unconstitutional, which is what you are supposed to determine, Mr. Roberts.

Roberts is responsible for his own actions.

No, this country was destroyed by a communist and a republican Judas appointed by George W. Bush.

Those are the facts.

Wow! Talk about trying to turn lemons into lemonade--you're doing some very heavy lifting to accomplish that in this case.

Unemployment is a temporary phenomenon--this gross and constitutionally indefensible expansion of federal power is not. It will stand for eternity unless some future Court becomes willing to overturn it.

What Roberts did was call it a tax, which it is.

He also states that using the Commerce Clause to justify any restrictions IS unconstitutional. This is VERY important in a lot of respects.

Take the National CCW Bill. This would be a conforming of 'the several states' to uniform recognition of other states CCW laws.
A real plus, right? If passed in the form it is in, CONGRESS would have the option to regulate it(certain carry, transportation, specific types of weapons permissible) and creation of a database, based on the states records of gun owners. And ALL of that could be done using the Commerce Clause to implement.

Secondly, the MANDATE is struck down, defanging OblunderCare from its funding. But the tax is still in place you say? Wait until it is implemented, the lawsuits about Equal Protection will reach the courts and that will kill it, unless Congress acts.

The Medicaid coercion is struck down. You can't hold states hostage for Federal money if they don't expand MC coverage, which also raises taxes.

There was a LOT that was good in Roberts ruling. The argument about not being able to bring the case to the Supremes because the 'TAXING' doesn't start until 2013 is now in play.

This is just my two cents.

"I blame Bush.

For turning over the office to someone not constitutionally eligible!"


Yeah, that's a really rational argument. /rolleyes

Maybe Roberts really isn’t the turncoat we think he is!!!

He is!!!

We will soon find out, come November 6, 2012!!!

So your support for this ruling is based on the outcome of an election, rather than whether its constitutional. Is that respecting the Constitution, in your opinion?

If you have any inkling of a brain, you will vote to defeat Obama and the entire Democrat Party!!!

Better take someone into the voting booth, then, to help you put the 'x' in the right box.

I look at what he wrote, not any emotional twist.

Scalia would have thrown it out and said start over. And if there was a Congress willing to work on what needs to be implemented I could agree to that.

But we don't have a working Congress, and those policies already implemented would have put a lot of the country in chaos.

Besides, I think Roberts did the one thing that was totally unexpected. Enflamed the RIGHT and all conservatives out of the doldrums for November. Had he gone the other way, Oblunder would have another 4 years.

1. Any restrictions on what is unconstitutional?

2. Where does he say it?

Why not blame both? There’s plenty to go around.

So you are saying President Bush should have known that Chief Justice Roberts would let himself get bullied by that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, the drive-by Media and Senator Patrick J. leaky Leahy of Vermont?

I doubt very much, you get any more ridiculous than that

Yes, I am saying exactly that.

Do you think Barack Obama appointed ANYONE AT ALL to the SCOTUS whom he doesn’t know EXACTLY how they will vote?

Are you kidding me!? It is quite apparent to me that democrats play to win and republicans play to lose.

Yes, George W. Bush should have known who he appointed, because he clearly did not know who he appointed, and that person ended American freedom.

Just a continutation of endless republican stupidity...
