Go back and read the history of the ObamaCare bill. It was introduced in the House as some kind of community revitalization nonsense by Charlie Rangel in the fall of 2009. The Senate basically gutted it and turned it into ObamaCare. It's not up to the U.S. Supreme Court to chastise the House of Representatives for allowing the Senate to re-write their bills. It's not up to Chief Justice John Roberts to deal with useless, corrupt idiots like Charlie Rangel who get re-elected repeatedly by the quasi-humanoid mutants he calls his constituents.

That's basically what Roberts' majority opinion was all about.

You just confirmed my statement. It wasn't initiated in the House as a funding bill. It became such in the Senate. Critics have ever since recognized its tax implications, but the bill as passed is a Senate concoction.

While I agree that the Court should not have to spoon-feed Congress on their duties, to say that the mandate is constitutional as a tax, when it was inappropriately passed, is a disingenuous and harmful decision.

Now, yes. We have to go forward and use successfully the small gift we've been given. But it would have been far better had this been ruled unconstitutional in the first place. It could have been done, should have been done. But wasn't for the sole reason of protecting the court's "objectivity". Sorry, but that's an insignificant reason on such a momentous occasion.

You know that ol saying about catchin more flies with sugar. There is a district in Indianapolis similar to Rangles..(The one where they lost sixty ballot boxes and ended up with more than 100% of the registered voters participating)
Now the grandson is the representative. The state laws have craked down so a reoccurance of the above fiascal can’t be done....BUT the state/local officials are now working with the community to stop the crime, (mostly drug, thugs, and murder) Not saying it will ever vote R, but things at least from a distance seem to be turning around...and there is now a dialogue for further change....Miracles do happen....Keep praying.

It like the child that misbehaves for attention....Only give him attention when he does a behavior you desire and the “bad” behavior disappears.
