Roberts killed Obamacare by finding the weak legal link

I don't see how it's possible to construe it that way. He allowed it to be a "tax", which the O administration had claimed it was not.

It was one of the most bent and tortured political opinions of all time that he appears to have changed to believing at the last minute.

He could have destroyed it with one vote. He didn't. He tortured this country for eight years with an insurance company debacle that hurt far more people, companies, and medical care than it helped.

I’m not as down on Roberts over that ruling as most Freepers are. For one thing, the ObamaCare penalty IS a tax. It’s administered by the IRS and paid when you file your tax return. What else would it be?

Secondly, Roberts was right on target in one of his public comments after the ruling: It’s not the job of the U.S. Supreme Court to fix a stupid law. That’s the job of Congress.
