No you are dead on right. I too wish it would have been struck down, but as I said on another post at 10:30 this morning...
Yes. Roberts and the Libs, contrary to common wisdom of most of my fellow Freepers, have FORCED the American Public and the Congress to either poop or get off the pooper.
The Dems do not want us off the pooper, lest they be up to their neck in poop.
So FINALLY we either have to develop a spine or be ruled by fiat. There is no longer an excuse possible.
Conservative business will now terminate many lib employees or pay dearly.
Conservatives will now defriend and defamily themselves of liberal influence or be an active participant in their own demise.
Honestly, I’m glad this happened for the reasons above. The country NEEDED a slap in the face. Now it can do the right thing and correct it’s error or fall/fail utterly.
NO MORE EXCUSES.

It has been the fault of our congress since 2010 for not defunding and obstructing this mess. They had the cover of a pending SC ruling to do NOTHING. That cover no longer exists. Now they must represent as is their job or pay at the polls. But the idiots of this country allowed this entire mess, no, CAUSED this entire mess to begin with through our own inaction and now we all have to live with it.
Roberts, through a bad error, may have really done the best thing possible. Forced our reps and the people’s hand and MADE us do OUR jobs.
Flame away naysayers. I don’t really care what you think to the contrary.
That wasn’t Roberts’ job. His job was to uphold the Constitution. He did not. Neither did Kagan, the wise latina, Ginsburg, and the other doofus.

We should all be looking at what areas of commerce we should support. Have a JP Morgan account? Get out. Jamie Dimon was an early supporter of Obama. Eat Ben & Jerry’s? Change brands. Do you use Progressive insurance? Change companies. How about your doctor or lawyer or hometown banker? Are they liberals? Find other professionals. Look at where you spend your hard earned dollars! Do not subsidize these people! Oh and one more thing....stay away from companies that operate on the government dole, including GE and others of their ilk. Buy another brand of appliance.

As I understand it, the vote was 7-2 against commerce clause application - Sotomayor and Ginsberg the dissenters.
