It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.

That is a nice sentiment, but Roberts is dead wrong. It is his job to determine the constitutionality of a law in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Constitution. What he did here was a violation of his oath. I would bet he didn't read this legislation before ruling on it. Nobody did. Both the law he ruled unconstitutional and his reasoning for upholding it were incomprehensible. Roberts has concluded that the Federal Government can compel anyone to do anything and if they don't do it, they can be taxed.

Eat your broccoli or be taxed.

Brush your teeth or be taxed.

Lose weight or be taxed.

Ride the bus or be taxed.

Don't have more than 2 children or be taxed.

What Roberts ruled in this case is 100 times worse than anything anyone could have dreamed. He has expanded the taxing power of the Federal Government beyond all limits. There is nothing that Congress cannot tax. The power to tax is the power to destroy.

Roberts should be impeached. However I believe he has secret plans to announce his immediate retirement.

Kudo's to Roberts for telling the American voter to get their act together.

You need to change your freeper name.
