I NEVER said I liked this ruling. I do not like it. However, I must deal with it and I must look to the advantages and disadvantages, personally, politically and economically, on this ruling.
There is a tomorrow. We must continue to fight our battles and we must be realistic if we really want to win.
I have no patience for those who throw temper tantrums and make everything personal and petty.
You are making a personal attack against me, but the fact is, the majority of Conservative opinion is on my side, on the Natural Born Citizen issue, and you are only bringing that up now, to attack me on this ruling.
Again, I wish Roberts had voted to strike down the mandate entirely.
I am relieved that Roberts and the majority DID say that the Commerce Clause did not authorize the mandate.
In fact, it was UNANIMOUS that the Commerce Clause did not authorize the mandate.
Drawing attention to statements you have made is not a personal attack.
The people who need to develop legal minds are the very ones who voted for this monstrosity on the Supreme Court and that includes Justice Roberts. We have a constitution which is very clear and very easy to read. If there is any misunderstanding, we have very literate Founders who wrote definitively about what they have done. That modern day legals believe they have the right to abandon the Constitution makes me understand that modern legal minds suspend adherence to the Constitution. So that nothing in the Constitution means what it originally did anymore. Both you and those socialists on the Court share that understanding.
Anyone voicing the opinion that what Roberts did with the commerce clause was wonderful, conveniently sidesteps the elephant in the room. Roberts could have struck down use of the commerce clause and voted against Obamacare. Making the ruling 6 to 3 in favor of striking it down. That is not a divided ruling except that all the liberals would have appeared to be partisan and we would no longer have to worry about Obamacare.
The only good that has come out of this is that it is clear whose side people have chosen. That makes it clear who the enemies are. You can continue to praise our enemies and stand with them if you wish. But I don’t fight battles that way.
We now know that we will have no help from liberal justices that have been appointed by republicans. We won’t have any help from the republicans because they love socialism too.
