Blackmail, or he was a Trojan Horse.... Either way, there is NO logic to his ruling upholding Obamacare...NONE.

There was nothing BUT logic. Cold, hard, rigid, legal logic. Which the ENTIRE country has refused to study.

Because hey, slander is so much easier than actually learning something.

One Stone, Two Powers: How Chief Justice Roberts Saved America

No, the decision is crap; I read half of it and gave up in disgust — and I've read some bad decisions like Roe, Wickard, Schenick, Raich... the ACA decision read worse than some bad fanfiction in logical construction (granted, without the horrible grammar and spelling).

No, that is just shit.
Don't go around telling people it's not.

Wow... just cannot believe you continue to defend this POS decision.

One Stone, Two Powers: How Chief Justice Roberts Saved America

An interesting article.

It’s very long and must be deconstructionist in method, because it’s highly likely that Roberts would say he doesn’t recognize much of it as his own thought. Maybe the Declaration of Independence caused trouble the same way, because the fact that “all men are created equal” might include slaves was set to the side by a lot of people for a long time and ultimately was at least highly contributory to a war.

I read through your dissertation, it was quite enlightening, yet I maintain that Roberts ultimately failed the American people, perhaps not philosophically, but in every practical sense.

He had the power to stop this slow motion nightmare in its tracks and instead chose to issue a warning about the presumption of corporateness being used as a police power; precisley as it is now being used.

Further, this power, wielded through the corrupt and limitless IRS, is used at the discretion of the Sec. of HHS, an unelected official. Its application to date is entirely arbitrary and UNASSAILABLE!!

Roberts may be clever but he sold us all down the river. Obamacare is exactly the law, they need no other, that will be used to abrogate our God given rights. He opened the gate that released the cattle. His warnings that the cattle may be gone rings hollow.

He is no hero.
