There is no solemnity, no refuge granted for our beleaguered citizenry from the daily invective, incompetence, and blatant abuse of our elected and appointed officials. America is the greatest country in the world and our citizens deserve better from our leaders than what they are receiving.
Today’s atrocious decision by the Supreme Court is the final straw that attests our system of government is broken. The institutions of governance cannot be sustained if our leaders are void of virtue, honesty, and integrity. Those who swore an oath to the US Constitution must be held accountable to faithfully discharge and uphold their oaths of office. Americans are distressed that the collective government apparatus inside the echo chamber of Washington DC is indifferent and distant from working class America. No wonder Americans’ faith and trust in our governmental institutions remains at an all time low. It is obvious to this writer that Justice Roberts’ integrity and impartiality are questionable with his latest Supreme Court’s Obamacare decision. The harm he has forged into the legacy of the Supreme Court cannot be overstated, and his frightful decision adds salt to a hemorrhaging wound.
The Roberts Court has become an activist court willing to compromise their ethics to legislate from the bench. The statue’s wording, “established by state,” was clear and precise. Roberts twisted legal theory to achieve his politically desired goal. What a shame!
Americans are staggered in disbelief at Roberts’ atrocious decision. The duplicity of Chief Justice Roberts in his twisting mental gymnastics to rescue Obamacare, once again stokes the public outrage and growing distrust in what was the last bastion of institutional respectability. The hopes and expectations of justice by millions of American citizens have vanished.
The Roberts Court has turned markedly leftist and as such, this case is a terrible foretelling of future Supreme Court decisions to come that may obliterate individual liberties in support of government supremacy. This thought is chilling to every free patriot who has served the nation. Roberts’ stinging slap to the fabric of American jurisprudence paves a green light for Obama to terrorize and obfuscate his revolutionary agenda with continued lies, deception, and coercion. Obama must be scratching his head in bewilderment as the Supreme Court disregards not only his abuse of executive power but his in your face threats to the Supreme Court. Justice Roberts can only be viewed in the future as a political pawn whose judicial legacy will be destined to the trash heaps of history where he belongs.
In such a short time-frame of the Obama Administration, our American system of government appears to be incrementally dismantled by those elected and appointed to serve the public’s needs. Today, homage to liberal party loyalty surpasses even the national security interests of the United States.
Chief Justice Roberts and President Obama alone are to blame for the growing American discontent and apathy. Obama reached his revolution with the help of what appears to be highly corrupt political cronies such as Senator Reid, former Speaker Pelosi, and the DOJ’s “Democrats get a free out of jail card” door stopper, Eric Holder. Senator Reid changed the rules of the Senate to allow the most extreme, radicalized political cronies to be appointed as Federal Judges and to stack the judicial courts.
That said, in 2014 the national mood towards Obama and the extremism of the Progressive Democrat Party had boiled, and in the mid-season election, the wave of voters swept Democrats from Congress. The voters sent Republicans to stop the Obama agenda. Yet, Obama was extremely fortunate in the leadership of his opposition who, though talked with strength prior to the election never showed backbone after the election. The general public, expecting change in Washington, received nothing but token guarantees and insincere rhetoric. The failed leadership in Congress of Boehner and McConnell did not change even after the election. This time the Republican elected officials are not doing what the majority of citizens elected them to do.
Congressional Republican leadership feared the antagonist liberal press in bed with the Obama administration more than they desired to fight. In every single confrontation with Obama, the moderate Congressional leadership surrendered. Their only legitimate leverage against the Executive Branch, their, “power of the purse” was never seriously used. Obama, with the press and DOJ in his pocket never had to fear Republicans reprisals in Congress. Not only did the Republican leadership not possess backbone to fight Obama’s abuses of power, Boehner and McConnell took the fight to their own base to stifle their fight against Obama.
Afraid to lead on major issues, Boehner and McConnell passed the buck to the Supreme Court but Roberts’ decision has backfired on them, and America will soon become a single payer socialist healthcare system. How could this have happened when the nation is at war and our economic condition is in such peril? Instead of rolling back Obama’s revolution juggernaut, Speaker Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell betrayed their party on major issues to support Obama in cases such as sequestration, trade, and immigration, while attacking their own conservative members and removing some from Chairman Post.
No wonder polls today illustrate that a majority of the American public feels all our co-equal branches are broken or failed. With Roberts’ Supreme Court decision, Americans feel suppressed and assaulted by an ever increasing governmental apparatus. The Republican base is despondent, angry, and confused. We have been pushed into the desert by our own party and told to be quiet until the next election.
How could the character of American society change so dramatically in just a few years? Obama and his league of radical progressives effectively control all facets of government. In the remaining period of his Presidency, Obama will continue to have no viable opposition to his revolutionary goals now that he has effectively co-opted the Supreme Court.
The Obama American, fascist revolution marches onwards. Socialism thrives today undaunted by the Supreme Court or the Republican Party. Democrats may take great joy in the crazy, distorted opinion of the Supreme Court on Obamacare; but rest assured, the end result is calamitous for our country. Our public trust in our government institutions will continued to be eroded or marginalized; our guaranteed protections of liberty are now being diminished; our rich, American culture will continue to be besmirched as evil; the future prosperity of our children will become even more bleak; and our national security posture undaunted by reality leaves all Americans in peril. Marxism, Socialism, Fascism are not systems of government that benefit mankind. The Roberts Court may be the last nail in the coffin for America as a free society as they determined that Americans are chattel to the will of government.
SCOTUScare and AnythingMarriage prove that the following are irrelevant:
The People
The Legislative Branch
The States
The Constitution
Democracy
A Republican form of government
You say you want a revolution ....
Time to push the reset button and start over. We really haven’t had a constitution that has been followed as law since at least FDR. And this just finishes completely.
Constitution convention. Call the states together, let’s get started.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Doggone it. Where is the ctrl-alt-del buttons on this government? Who knows where to find it?
I think the Miers may have been an improvement.
Roberts’ almost certainly sided with the dissenters on the homosexual marriage thing ONLY because he knew the other side had the votes to swing it obozo’s way.
And WHY would he do that after saving obozocare TWICE? Here’s a really good reason:
Speculation is rife that obama and his minions KNOW that the Chief Justice VIOLATED THE ADOPTION LAWS OF IRELAND and have used the threat of public disclosure of that to secure FAVORABLE RULINGS from him and those on the court over whom he has some influence. The first such was their ludicrous ruling that Obamacare penalties were a TAX. And the second occurred today, when the court TOTALLY IGNORED THE LANGUAGE OF THE ACA to rule as it did. That tortured ruling has caused numerous legal commentators — Judge Napolitano among them — to opine that words no longer have meanings.
While his brutal murder of the supreme organic law of America goes unnoticed by the leftist (aka “COMMUNIST”) media, how unseemly would it be to have the CJ of the SCOTUS known as a common scofflaw?
I guess everyone has a price.
Welcome to 1984 and NEWSPEAK!

In the first 134 years of free, republican government until 1913, we went from a small collection of mostly subsistence farmers to first tier industrial powerhouse.
“A Republican form of government” is far from irrelevant.
Soon the People will demand a King.
The bottom line is that the average man yearns to be ruled. The theory of 1776 has been falsified in our lifetime.
We have been living under the rule of Judges since 1949. It’s time to move on to Kings.
for anyone interested in the video of ted cruz ripping the sc justices a new one- head over to ted’s site here- here’s the video
http://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=video&id=2365
Ted said in his speech “If the justices want to be legislators, I invite them to resign their position and run for congress... that is the proper place to write legislation from, not in the supreme court” or something along those lines... “...but one day of faux outrage by the Washington cartel won’t fool the millions of people...They (the people) know that far too many democrats AND republicans are quietly celebrating the court’s decision”
Ted needs to run hammering home the idea that this next election NEEDS to be one where we throw the trash out- throw the bums out of office who REFUSE to uphold law- REFUSE to honor their oath, and wipe clean the slate in BOTH the house and senate, and get this country back on track and restored to the great nation we were BEFORE socialists intentionally destroyed this great nation and the rule of law was thrown out the window!
kennedy cvame out and declared that the constitution ‘does not prohibit gay people from marrying’ or something akin to this
What an asinine statement to make! The constitution doesn’t ban pedophiles from marrying children, people from marrying animals, people from marrying corpses either- yet ALL are illegal Even gay marriage- because ALL are gross deviations from natural law
We no longer have a supreme court to protect us from rogue government- the government is now free to create any law they like and the supreme court will back them up- even rewriting the law in order to make it pass- effectively LEGISLATING fro mthe bench-
This ruling today, and the one yesterday- showed that the supreme court is LAWLESS!
The argument is based on a complete misunderstanding of the Constitution.
Co-Equal Branches of Government
They are no such thing! Congress has ultimate power over both of the other two branches, while they have little or none over it.
That Congress does not choose to exercise its constitutional power because it would be counter-productive to the individual top priority of most congressmen, getting re-elected, doesn’t change the powers granted Congress in the Constitution.
The failure of the attempt to remove A. Johnson from office was in retrospect a disaster for constitutional government. If every fourth or fifth president had been removed from office, we wouldn’t be having idiotic discussions about “co-equal branches.”
In light of this, makes one wonder what exactly is the purpose behind Jade Helm, doesn’t it?
Justice Tainted
He is one of the problems.
Currently we have a banana republic form of government with a supreme leader, a rubber stamp legislative body and a corrupt court that writes the laws.
Great article as always Steve.
