RE :”Remember all the spin right after the decision came down... “Oh yeah, sure it looks bad NOW, but the GOOD NEWS is that BECAUSE Obamacare will remain an albatross around Obama’s neck going into the 2012 election, it will GUARANTEE his defeat in November!! WOO HOO!! That alone makes it all worth it! Roberts is a GENIUS!!”

Was that Rush who claimed that?

Considering that Obamacare was setup so 95% of it didn't go into effect until FY14 =October 1, 2013 and then January 1, 2014 that was very unlikely.

Roberts didn't pick Romney as the candidate. Some Republicans did that.
I recall a few Maryland Republicans trying to explain to me why Romney would be an effective opponent to Obama in 2012, even with Romneycare.

>> More likely he will be lauded as a hero for saving Americans from the freedom of individual choice. History is written by the winners. <<

So O.J. Simpson will be remembered as a innocent victim of racism that was horribly framed for the murder of his beloved wife by the racist cop Mark Fuhrman, right?

Pure horse feces.

Well put.

There are folks who believe that the Japanese welcomed Hiroshima so that the U.S. would thereafter provide them with a free national defense.

The human mind is capable of some amazing feats, including defeats.

I have notice that Democrats don't want to talk about the personal mandate at all.

Its like they all got the same memo.

They keep saying Obamacare is its own popular mandate, that people want it, its in high demand, they are lining up for it, that the people who got it love it.

If he hadn’t gone on to commit armed robbery, he might have been seen that way by the portion of the populace that is inclined to believe that. As for Roberts, assuming he isn’t caught in bed with a dead girl, the powers that be will do their best to salvage his reputation and legacy. Heck, this article is an example of the sort of revisionist thinking that goes on.

poison to be taken willingly must have a nice flavor. The vermin pirate Roberts called the obamacare law a taxation process but it is absolutely not a taxation process, it is a dictate to force what we presumed were free people to purchase a commodity. Compounding lies to try and dress up the filthy pig will, sadly, fool too many of what were once free people, sovereigns of a Constitutional Republic that no longer exists.

The job of the Chief Justice is not to play politics. The job of the Chief Justice is to simply say, “the government can’t make a private citizen buy anything. Unconstitutional. Next.”

If what you say is true, then all is lost and we’re no longer free. But here we are, posting freely and openly on a conservative website. The First and Second Amendments, though battered and under continued assault, still stand. It is those more than any others, that define and defend our liberty.

We The People are no longer the sovereigns of a Constitutional Republic. The illusion is maintained so that We The People do not awaken to the reality that we have allowed ourselves to be usurped. The rulers of America have by-passed our Constitution, and Roberts is only one of the most recent to commit the treachery.

Sadly I have to agree with your post. Though I do believe there’s allot of “threats” going on behind the scenes which are moving men and woman to do and say what they might otherwise not were that not so.

We are barely in the game anymore...it’s being played on an entirely other level, time, and place then Washington alone....or for that matter the USA.

LOL, I had no idea that these existed - thanks for pointing them out!

I noticed that there is no attribution to Talisker. I guess I'm going to have to notify whoever these people are that they got it from me.

Remember, folks - Freeper Talisker wrote this - you read it here first!

Blackmail is the ONLY answer here since Roberts IS SMART.

Bush appointed him, BUT the democrips approved him easily, meaning someone had done the necessary background checks to have the material for shaping his actions. I do not for a second believe the Dick Cheney/ Georgie Bush administration was unaware of the potentials. Something really stinks, really really stinks.

But this is contradicted by his comment that it is not the job of the Court to save people from their bad political choices. IMHO, it’s a ridiculous comment, because that has always been the job of the Court. Bad political choices result in bad laws, and it is the job of the Court to review these in the light of the Constitution.

It would be far better to say that the Court's foremost job is to see that the Constitution is upheld, just as it should be for every other branch.

Christopher J. Conover, the Editor of the website, appears to be a solid conservative, and is quite impressive in his own right.
