They just took a big piece of freedom from us. Soon they will be ordering homeowners to house the homeless. Obama has the power to take someone into custody if he feels like it. They already have the power to seize our property. They refuse to seal the borders. We’re all just like a bunch of lemmings following along into Marxist oblivion. The only chance we have is to vote him out, God help us if he gets another four years.
TRAITORS!!!
What our wise leaders said about Chief Justice Roberts
Rep. John Boehner (R-OH): “Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito, President Bush’s two successful appointments to the high court, are who we hoped and thought they were — Justices committed to a fair and just interpretation of the Constitution.”
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY): “Judge Roberts because his position in a particular case did not mirror a Senator’s personal policy preferences, nor when it comes to a fair process should we require.”
Sen. Tom Coburn (R- TX): “I’m confident that Chief Justice John Roberts will help restore the Constitutional balance of power between the branches of government. Judge Roberts, I believe, will not attempt to write policy from the bench and will leave legislating to the Congress. …Judge Roberts proved himself during his confirmation hearing to be extraordinarily intelligent, highly-qualified and totally committed to applying the law justly.”
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC): “We need a Justice, not a super legislator — a Justice who will rightly interpret our laws, not create laws.”
Sen. John Thune (R-SD): “As we pay tribute to the legacy of former Chief Justice Rehnquist, we see many of the qualities that marked his tenure of excellence mirrored in Judge Roberts. …Judge Roberts brings with him a brilliant legal mind and a profound respect for the Constitution and the Court.”
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL): “John Roberts’s confirmation was a defeat for the politicization of the courts and the notion that a judge should be an advocate for this or that view.”
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX): “An exceptional judge, brilliant legal mind, and a man of outstanding character who understands his profound duty to follow the law.”
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO): “He has proven himself as a judge who applies the law impartially with an eye toward the strict interpretation of the Constitution, rather than legislating from the bench.”
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT): “If I have ever seen anybody who deserves being on the Court more than John Roberts, I have to think pretty hard. John Roberts is a fine man.”
Frmr. Sen. George Allen (R-VA): “I found Judge Roberts to be a well-grounded individual whom I believe understands that the proper role of a judge is to apply the law and not invent it. I am confident he will be an outstanding member of the Supreme Court who will be a responsible and influential voice for years to come.”
Frmr Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA): “I can think of no one more qualified and worthy to fulfill the role of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court than Judge Roberts.”
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA): “I believe that at his hearing last week, Judge Roberts demonstrated that he will be fair and open-minded, and will approach cases without bias and without a personal agenda. This is the kind of judge that everyone – both liberals and conservatives alike – wants on the bench.”

Those who have called him a traitor here have a key to what needs to be done next.
In the case of Kagan, we need to put pressure on Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against her for her conflict of interest. But I don’t know that this can be done with Roberts.
Yes, Roberts is either a traitor or was forced to do this by ertain powers to do this. In either case, he doesn’t have the shame or decency to step down. Since there is no legitimacy to the law in this country, we need to be like the left and harass him without until he feels forced to step down. Remember the incivil crap the left did to Bush? That kind of stuff and more!
We need to badmouth him everywhere we are. We need insulting bumper stickers that demand his resignation. We need to shout at our Congressmen for his removal! We need protests and strikes that demand he step down. We need wanted posters calling for his prosecution and execution for Treason! We need movies TV shows and comic books telling stories discussing his assassination. We need to harass his relatives. We need to harass anyone who sticks up for him. We need to have someone poop on his car! His name needs to be made a dirty word similar to that of Benedict Arnold for all true Americans in this country. We must constantly think of new ways to demean and harass him and his supporters. And we must never stop!
Roberts has been one of the most disappointing justices in recent memory. Shame on George W. Bush.
I’m sure a few state’s attorney’s general’s will now find the stones to make “Justice” Roberts get out his pen and provide the Court’s Constitutional definition of just exactly what a tax is....and perhaps he can also find enough gray matter to explain to us why this “special tax” is NOT a “head tax” or a “poll tax”
“A poll tax (head tax or capitation tax, per U.S. English usage) is a tax of a portioned, fixed amount applied to an individual in accordance with the census (as opposed to a percentage of income). When a corvée is commuted for cash payment, in effect it becomes a poll tax (and vice versa, if a poll tax obligation can be worked off). Head taxes were important sources of revenue for many governments from ancient times until the 19th century. There have been several famous (and infamous) cases of head taxes in history, notably a tax formerly required for voting in parts of the United States that was often designed to disenfranchise poor people, including African Americans, Native Americans, and white people of non-English descent (e.g., the Irish). In the United Kingdom, poll taxes were levied by the governments of John of Gaunt in the 14th C., Charles II in the 17th and Margaret Thatcher in the 20th century.
The word poll is an English word that once meant “head” - and still does, in some specialised contexts - hence the name poll tax for a per-person tax”
