When some is called a Benedict Arnold he is deemed a traitor. Will being called a John Roberts go to mean the same?
Yes...next question.
Why the hell do I keep on supporting Republicans?? WHY?
Justice Roberts was just following a logical construct in combing the curliques out of the very fuzzy thinking that created this bill in the first place. Declaring the “mandate” a tax, shifts this back into play as a revenue measure, and as such, those parts that did NOT originate in the House of Representatives, should have no standing.
And is a dandy reason to proceed with repeal of the existing law, as increasing taxes in an economic downturn is altogether in contradiction of all Keynesian Theory.
Now, Obama has become the most avaricious tax-and-grab occupant of the Oval Cubicle since FDR, and as such, the Republicans have the biggest club they could possibly have, just handed to them. His erstwhile supporters have just collectively zipped shut their deep pockets, which does not bode well for continued monetary support of his re-election campaign.
And they probably won’t have the fortitude to lift it.
Where is Mitt on this? We should have had a statement already.
D@mned straight.
This is a trick question....Right?
This is no different than when the Supreme Court upheld slavery, and condemned people to slavery based on the color of their skin.
Now, they have upheld slavery of the ENTIRE American people to the Government, by saying that it is constitutional for EVERY American to be FORCED into a purchase agreement.
Benedict Arnold actually did something useful for us at one point.
This one really IS Bush’s fault.
John Roberts is a traitor.
Roberts, he is one first class stupid jackass.
Eff John Roberts. He knew The Kenyan is not a Natural Born Citizen, yet he swore him in.
And now this??
This is why I’ve always said the SCOTUS does not matter when picking a presidential candidate. You can’t trust any court. Even these Supremes.
Roberts and the supreme court thought Obama scorned them in one of his State of the Union messages. They haven’t seen anything yet.
I used to say that there were only 2 things that Bush got right......now it’s down to one.
Johnny "Weasel" Roberts Eyes
Why would he have bothered with all that subterfuge, when by his vote the entire law could have been struck down? In his opinion Roberts states that it is the court’s duty to preserve unconstitutional law. Where the hell does that come from?
Why the hell do I keep on supporting Republicans?? WHY?
It’s time to build the gallows.
Well we should have let Bush have his first pick. She was a not going to do what Big John did today.
