EXCERPT
Lees argument is not based on the NSA or its monitoring of the nations communication. Rather, Lee said, there are indications that Roberts originally intended to vote against the act, but that a public campaign of intimidation made him change his mind.
First, the senator claimed the opinion was written in a way to suggest he switched his vote, and that the dissenting opinion reads like it was originally written as the majority. He added that several news outlets reported that Roberts did change his vote, based on insider information.
Not only that, he said, but the court performed an unusual feat of legal gymnastics in upholding the legislation, particularly with regard to whether the fines incurred are or are not taxes. They had to re-write sections of the the bill not once, but twice.
Lee continued to say that he has no evidence that Roberts was being blackmailed, but said that doesnt mean Roberts wasnt under any kind of direct pressure."

Don’t think he was doing it for ratings.
If you had something you thought could bring down Obummer.. you have GOT to admit.. and you had millions of people listening to you.. it would be REAL hard.. not to just give a little sliver of what you had as it was coming together.
I understand it.
Post number 36.
If that’s not negativity then I’m not sure what is.
Thanks for all you’re doing to help the Republic.
I am Dear Leader will have you sent to the re-education camp last.
bump
I can understand the negativity, too.
However, there are positive and negative ways to deal with it.
Posting negative, whiny comments never, ever helps.
As a matter of fact, it hurts, as I illustrated with my example of paddling a boat.
If ever Americans have had a need to maintain calm resolve and to foster positive cooperation among ourselves, it’s now.
Indeed...united we stand
I haven’t gone on API’s (”the Chief, S Korir”) site for a couple years. He’s still in “business” after the Michelle-Obama-Tape saga?
So do I...wishful thinking. You are being played like a Stradivarius, my gullible FR friend.
Rather than arguing, I will remind you about this thread after the midterm elections in 2014 and the Dear Leader is still sitting in the WH without any majorities in any house of congress and Glenn Beck has moved on to the next crisis du jour.
>> If thats not negativity then Im not sure what is.
Now there’s the problem... you AREN’T sure what negativity really is, because you wrongly define negativity as “any reply or post that doesn’t agree with me and Glenn”.
Now, let me tell you what negativity REALLY is. Negativity is when you hold such a bleak view of the world that you see everyone who doesn’t agree with you as belonging to the dark side. As, for example, when you just accused Responsibility 2nd of working for “Dear Leader” and told him he’d go the camps last. That, my FRiend, really IS negativity.
Projection is a real psychological defect, and you have come down with a nasty case of it, I’m afraid.
There you go again...
I make a point about his post.. and you CHANGE THE SUBJECT.
Instead of addressing the problem. You ask me to tell you what you’ve done wrong.. and when I do.. you change the subject.
How convenient!
I believe this has something to do with the CBS news reporter computer
being hacked, I believe they know the government DID IT!!!!
Now there’s something I hadn’t thought of. That could be connected to it.
Indeed...united we stand
__________
And divided, assuredly, we will fall.
Wait! Was that negative?
:-)
>> You ask me to tell you what youve done wrong..
ROFL! More projection. I didn’t ask you to “define what I have done wrong”. I asked you to “define negativity”.
And you can’t do it! You have set yourself up as the Negativity Cop — pulling posters over and writing Negativity Tickets right and left — and you can’t even give me an English definition of exactly what the hell you have appointed your self important soul to prosecute!
What’s more, I DID address the concept of “negativity” in the vacuum you left — head on! I gave a definition and an example!
It’s just that your reading, thinking and writing skills are not quite up to the task of understanding or participating.
You know, too much cult worship of a BSing ratings whore like Beck might not be the best thing for you at this stage of your life. Just sayin’.
Someone on FR pointed out a while back that this is exactly why morals and character count. Why it is important that we elect and appoint people of integrity. I don’t know if anyone got to Roberts or not. But most of our “leaders” have so many skeletons in the closet, that they are a blackmail event looking for a place to happen.
I haven’t heard anything from the API either. I can barely even remember what it was they were “promising” way back in ‘08.
I can only remenber it was one false promise after another.
You know... just the same Bull Bleep tactics Glenn Beck is using now.
hey look... another election cycle lib enabler
you realize you stick out like a sore thumb, right?
I defined negativity. I gave you a post number. And you went off into some diatribe about how I don’t understand what negativity really is.
Someone telling me I should get a hysterectomy is pretty damn negative.
As I said before.. Beck has done more in the last 10 minutes for Freedom and America than you could do in 3 lifetimes.
Here’s what’ll happen.
Beck has been wildly hinting and speculating at a myriad of possbile breaking news stories. From the 70 renegade Repubs, to the CJ/SCOTUS “bombshell”, to God knows what.
IF (big if) any of this gossip turns out to be true - you can bet Beck will step up (”See? - I told you so”) and take credit for it.
Its like throwing (bleep) at a wall. Some of it will stick.
