He was in fact the poster boy for judicial activism here. He wrote that Congress should have defined it as a tax, so therefore it is a tax, so therefore it is the law of the land. Judicial activism right out of the Democratic playbook.
In my opinion, however, the bulk of the victory lays with those of us on the right.
Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
This was probably the worst ruling to come down since Roe vs Wade, and look how long we have been fighting to overturn it?
Roberts has just wiped out our constitutional right to freedom. Under the guise of a tax, we can now be forced to do what ever the federal government demands.
In essence, we have just become slaves to the state! Karl Marx and every communist/fascist/nazi/totalitarian who has ever hated America and capitalism is dancing in the streets today. Even the ones who have died and went to hell are dancing the jig with Satan over this ruling!
Even if we get a super majority of republicans in the house senate and Romney in, we will have to wait to change the court to fix this. On the average, it takes an average of 40 to 50 years to overturn a bad a SC decision.
Tell your children you are sorry for them now, because it will be a cold day in Hell before this ever gets fixed.
