Maybe Chief Justice Roberts will change his mind and vote it unconstitutional this time around considering he won't be under the evil eye of Obama.

Maybe Roberts will retire in disgust because Americans don't read his rulings that tell them they are free.

After the last USSC decision I predicted that ObamaCare would eventually be successfully challenged in a legal case, but on completely different grounds than the original lawsuit. That legal action was based entirely on the constitutionality of the individual mandate under the Tenth Amendment, while there are a number of additional legal challenges in the works that are based on different legal arguments. This is one of them.

The interesting aspect of this story is that Obama's Justice Department may be tipping its hand a bit by allowing this challenge to go through. The Court originally refused to hear the arguments because the specific provisions of ObamaCare that Liberty University is challenged haven't been implemented yet. If the Justice Department is agreeing to have this case heard now, it might mean that they believe ObamaCare stands a better chance of being upheld in the current Supreme Court term than in a future term.

This might mean they don't expect Barack Obama to be nominating the replacement for the next retiring Supreme Court justice.

My point was nobody will need to rule on anything if it is repealed.

I’ll never trust John Roberts again ... with this case, or any other. His Obamacare opinion was the single worst ruling I’ve ever read — and I’m an attorney, I’ve read some really bad ones. My opinion of a jurist has never turned so quickly in my entire life.

He invented a completely novel interpretation of the law ... one that no other Judge or Justice in this country ever agreed with, and that no lawyer on either side — or in amicus briefs — even argued for. He just made it up off the top of his head.

His ruling was entirely lawless. As far as I am concerned, he is a rogue justice. He made a mockery out of the law, himself, and his Court.
