I don’t want to rationalize anything. By either side.

This is my area. History and Law and Education. I’m very tuned into it.

I’ve had to tamp down on my emotional response, since I disagree with the decision. And unlike St. Sarah, yes St. Sarah, I’m not playing to worshippers who hang on my every word as if it’s given from God himself.

This isn’t anything new. Since the Great Depression, FDR, our rights have been chipped away. My Father, who fought in WWII unlike most posters on here, who put his life where his mouth is, said this was going to happen 40+ yrs ago. I grew up hearing about how the media was going to kill us all, how unAmerican they were. How the so called race issues were all about power and nothing to do with race. And I grew up in philly so I saw that first hand. So the race baiters can KMA.

If you were Speaker....hell if i were a billionaire I wouldn’t be so concerned about this tax that is going to make us a third world country. Hell, if I were a princess, I’d have royal blood. Bah.

If you had the power, what exactly would you do, besides being commando on some internet forum? You want to go after Roberts? He’s the least of our problems and that someone as smart as you doesn’t see that is disturbing.

We are a war, culturally and politically. The extreme on each side doesn’t seem to get it.

I consider the Left morons, even though they know how to organzie and get their issues in the media and succeed in turning the tide. I have four kids...I watch what they watch and listen to what they listen to. The right, on our side, continually shoots themself. Part of it is fighting the media and everything else. As far as Im concerned, we aren’t anywhere fighting it on that level.

I have degrees in History (American and World) and studied law until I found out the type of people you have to deal with... and I am not talking about clients. I need no lecture from you on any subject and as this unfolds... you will see the error of your ways. The most respected and brilliant Conservative legal thinkers of our time despise this ruling (Thomas, Alito and Scalia)... even Kennedy was set to vote against this entire bill... until that crap bag roberts saved it with his twisted reasoning and progressive ideology. Levin despises this ruling and in the end... America will also. Then we have your opinion. Just watch the destruction that this communist action will reap upon our Republic. You will see the truth because the truth will come after all of us... and that includes you too.

I’ve had to tamp down on my emotional response, since I disagree with the decision.
I'm of the same mind. I'm wanting to understand the decision better, and the implications thereof, before I speak out. People's initial reaction, like the happy dance retort of "it's Constitutional, bitches" and the morose reply of "Roberts is a Benedict Arnold and is dead to me now", might well turn to groans of dismay and garner well earned praise over time.

A comment was made in an article that Roberts is playing chess while everyone else is playing poker. This close in to the decision being given I'm beginning to wonder if he's playing 3-D chess even amongst those playing chess.

Time and a better, closer reading of the decision should help everyone form a better conclusion. Initial reactions are usually just that...an initial response and reactionary response.

I pray that I'm right and this turns out to be a good ruling and beneficial to our cherished Republic instead of the millstone that drags it to its eventual, untimely death.
