Obviously, I do not like this ruling.
However, it must be stated that we would have lost on several counts, even if we had Roberts on our side on every count.
Roberts made what may turn out to be a strategic decision, in that Roberts was able to actually WRITE the majority opinion.
That Roberts written opinion clearly says that Congress did not have the power under the Commerce Clause to impose the mandate, and it clearly says this is a TAX!
If a liberal had written the opinion, said opinion would probably have approved the mandate under the Commerce Clause, that would have been horrible.
Furthermore, the restrictions Roberts wrote into the opinion, on the power of the Secretary of HHS to punish the States, does in fact gut much of Obamacare.
John Roberts is an evil creature. He has cast the deciding vote to end his country and constitution. He has effectively made this a slave nation.
Research and discovery will now die because there will no longer be purpose and profit in it. It is much more cost effective to kill off those who are no longer healthy. He has effectively financed murder through abortion and death panels. He has made a mockery of all those who fought and died for the freedom of this country.
He has resigned millions to a life of poverty and government benefits at a cost to those of us who may still be able to tread water. Make no doubt this is a job killing business killing bill. This is death on many levels some of which we have not even begun to realize.
Be prepared to have your appetites curbed as well because make no mistake that what you eat will be curtailed in the name of health.
I could go on but am so furious there are no more presentable words that I have left.
When Roberts was nominated, conservative commentators went so far as to say he was a man of courage. That deeply offended me because I knew exactly the type of person who spent their life at a big law firm. That is all John Roberts is.
John Roberts is the enemy of free men everywhere. Pure scum.
It is the alleged speaker weeper’s turn, congress has to approve taxes as this was passed as a fee waving a wand won’t change it.
yes
I wonder what Bush feels like today - like Ike did with Earl Warren?

Reagan got snookered by Sandra Day O’Connor and now it looks like Dubya got snookered by Roberts.
Harry Blackmun would be a closer comparison.
ROBERTS SUCCEEDED IN SELLING OUT HIS COUNTRY.
Imitation of Christ Book 2. Ch1. Thomas a Kempis
His two ADOPTED children are from Ireland VIA LATIN AMERICA.....makes one wonder if all was legal and if he was being BLACKMAILED. NOTHING else makes sense.
BH Obama = Augustus
Who was it that shilled this de-constructionist justice to Pres Bush?
**Will John Roberts be remembered in history the same as Benedict Arnold?**
No, I believe Roberts or his family were threatened in someway. There is more to this story than we have today.
Pray for him.
To be in the position he holds and rule the way he did shows a man who is an enemy of our Constitution.
May history always show Roberts to be a traitor to our Constitution.
In my house yes, absolutely.
Benedict Arnold could have been a hero. He exhibited courage under fire and sacrafice. He was a Patriot right up to the point he betrayed the Country not out of fear, but out of greed. John Roberts does not strike me as a man who ever had any courage. To the extent he has betrayed the country, it was out of fear when BHO called him out publicly in the SOTU address.
