Yeah, I agree with your two posts there.
People sometimes change when they feel the weight of being
ultimate authority at the Supreme Court. Some of the
justices have been pretty decent before being seated there,
and then the wheels fall off.
You’d think they would have become comfortable as judges
prior their arrival at the SCOTUS, but then they all of
a sudden seem to see things differently.
Is that human nature at times. At times it may be. I do
have a problem with that Obamacare ruling though.
Even the Democrats told the court it wasn’t a tax. They
denied they were pushing that line. Then Roberts did it
for them.
Just sheer lunacy. I agree with the comments you mentioned,
yours and the Leftist leaning naysayers.
My problem with9 obamacare was that never in our history as a free nation was our gov allowed to force anyone to buy anything against their will simply for being alive. In an extreme example, a man was free to wander the states, making his own clothes or finding discarded clothes, ,finding free food in wildern9ess and dumps or whatever, just living completely free... inside the law of course... if he so chose to and Noone could force hi. To buy anything. His sovereignty meant freedom.
Then along comes obamacare, forcing him to buy healthcare, removing his sovereign right to live free if he so chose to do so. He was penalized simply for being alive, by being forced to buy healthy I sure ce, or be listed as a criminal if he chose not to. Never before was free man zmde a criminal for not buying something that was being forced on him.
Things like requiring person to buy a liscence to drive is different. Th a t is a privilege that one chooses to engage in, whereas a fine for not buying health Insurance is a vio.ation of a sovereign right to exist freely without penalties being imposed
