I do think it is possible that Roberts framed this in such a way as to make it increasingly unpopular.
I love how the media cautioned against a 5-4 decision to repeal, but are satisfied with a 5-4 decision to uphold.
If Obama was speaking truthfully in 2009 (a comical concept, I know) that the non-compliance penalty was NOT a tax, then five SC justices decided this case incorrectly.
Just read Roberts’ opinion. He says that although Congress did not intend for Obamacare to be a tax, HE has decided that it is a tax. This is the greatest case of “legislating from the bench” that we’ve ever seen.
He knows better. The only thing that makes sense to me is blackmail. Is he gay? Were his children adopted illegally? Has to be something. Constitutionally, his opinion makes absolutely no sense.
From Saul Alinsky's Stalinist Socialist rules for media.
We are living in an Orwellian nightmare of Stalinism.
Why does the Left need deceit and lies to push their agenda? Why so Stalinist?
