They do it anyway, John. Trying to curry favor from liberals never works.
It's not a tax, it is by its own terms a mandate and a punishment.

So Roberts made Marxism the law of the land, because he wanted to seem “fair.”
How noble. NOT.
Because our government no longer respects We the People....Kraut is being too silly here...
Obamacare is now essentially upheld. There’s only one way it can be overturned. The same way it was passed — elect a new president and a new Congress. That’s undoubtedly what Roberts is saying: Your job, not mine. I won’t make it easy for you.But what worries me is.... How will Romney care be any different?
We are screwed.
One's professional reputation is VASTLY more important than the well being of a nation and laws !
Trying to ensure that the SCOTUS is or is not perceived in any particularly partisan way is NEVER any way to rule on a decision. Its the CONSTITUTION, STUPID!
Roberts has appeared as a strict constitutionalist to me in the past so I’m willing to give him the benefit of a doubt. However, what I don’t understand, is how the other’s on the court whom I consider constitutionalist voted differently than Roberts. I just can’t get my head around it.
Maybe Obama was planning on running against the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. If obamacare was overturned by “Bush’s guys,” Obama would use this as a pretext to dissolve the institution.
This is just nonsensical, pseudo-intellectual babble. Roberts did what he did because he is not an originalist, and he wanted Obamacare to stand for whatever his reasons might be.
If we have justices voting because they fear the court will be called partisan by the partisan opposition, then we are far worse off than I ever imagined.
The four leftist puppets have no problem, their “votes” are always predictable, and well in advance. You think it’s surprising that Kagan voted with the majority? The Wise Latina? The Over The Hill Bag? Breyer? These are the partisans on the Court, never an original thought, just puppets on a string.
Sorry folks—I’m beginning to think, more and more, that SOMEONE HAS SOMETHING on Roberts and/or someone in his family. And he’s being coerced. And, unfortunately, once you’ve given in to blackmail or coercion “they” own you.
This is all VERY sad for both Roberts and our country.
Chicago Way.
“We’d like to have a quiet chat with you about what it would take to make you an offer you can’t refuse...”
So Roberts weighed the “feelings” of liberals versus the constitution and found the constitution wanting? What utter and complete bullshit. Roberts rewrote the legislation to pass constitutional muster. WTF does he get this power from. I am so sick of DC elites who think the rest of us are rubes. Condescending pricks.
Put the bath salts down, Chuck. We got screwed by a turncoat.
Last time I looked, "a TAX can be REPEALED by Congress" at any point in time.
Mr. Krauthamer, you miss the point sir. It is not just about respect for each individual branch. I know you inside the Beltway guys like to compartmentalize things. But for us folks on the outside, we see all three branches as one thing, as government. Today, all Mr. Roberts preserved was the increasing, if not total, view amongst a majority of Americans that our government is a complete and total failure.
The vehicle by which the integrity and function of our government is supposed to be maintained is the Constitution. Mr. Roberts had a larger duty today to uphold that Constitution. Instead, he decided that his duty was to his legacy, or worse, his popularity. He, like the rest of our government, failed us. He is no better than a congressman who can be lobbied, bought and paid for. He is a coward and disgrace and I regret that he is anywhere near a position of power over me and my family.
So you inside the Beltway boys raise a glass to splitting hairs and being smarter than the rest of us. We will raise hell.
Then what do we need the USSC for???
Then what do we need the USSC for???
The left threatened to mau-mau the Court and Roberts caved. This spin to try to save Roberts' reputation won't wash. He dodged the issue of liberty vs. tyranny with a gutless sophistry.
Why are there people defending Roberts. It does not matter why he did what he did. He was wrong and took a match to the constitution. He is a destroyer.
