Chief Justice John G. Roberts is an evil genius. The ruling to uphold the Affordable Care Act is, on its face, a win for President Obama both because the media are saying it is and because it is the signature piece of legislation of his first term. But it may turn out to be a pyrrhic victory, as Roberts accomplished numerous, subtle victories for conservative Republicans.

Horse puckey.
I really don’t know what to believe anymore. Every thing seems spun.
It is. Everything in this country now is pure theater; a giant con job.
Excuse me while I twist myself into a shape that will make a pretzel envious whilst I explain how Roberts is crafty like a fox and created a victory for the nation, the people, the constitution, and the conservative movement.
I think they’ve cut off their oxygen supply halfway through the contortionist process.
BS, he just opened the door for the government to do anything they please. Nancy Pelosi was right to laugh in the reporters face, it’s over America. Deal with it.
Hope this evil genius works to the Republicans’ favor because 95% of the seniors can’t afford more taxes on fixed incomes.
“But Roberts’ really brilliant move was to uphold the individual mandate under Congress’s taxing authority and explicitly to reject its constitutionality under the commerce clause. As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg pointed out in her opinion, there was no reason for Roberts to rule on the commerce clause question, because a majority agreed that the act was a constitutional tax penalty.
Roberts did so regardless to create with the four conservative dissenters a majority view that a health insurance mandate violates the commerce clause. This result is in keeping with Roberts’ conservative view of restricting federal power and leaves him free to vote to strike down progressive federal legislation as unauthorized by the commerce clause.”
Thank you George W Bush for Roberts and Obamacare
If only it were true.
Nice to see a moonbat sweating though on what has otherwise been one of the most disastrous days in the history of our nation.

NOT!!!!
Couldn’t he have agreed with the others that the whole law was an unconstitutional mess?
However, if he gave us anything he gave us the TAX definition.
Ridiculous!
0bamacare is unconstitutional PERIOD!
Anything acceptable by the SC that is unconstitutional cannot an any way shape or form be considered a victory for America or freedom in any way.
What a crock!!
WHERE’S THE BARF ALERT?!
