Just as I'm having a hard time not believing Breitbart and his coroner were assassinated,

I suspect some rat thugs ‘splained things to Roberts.

Robert's opinion is constitutional nonsense, pure garbage written under duress.

But WHY would he switch?? The healthcare bill was pretty much a no-brainer given one’s contitutional beliefs. And his written opinion is just weird. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but something underhanded happened.

Who cares? It is over. Even if he sold his vote there is nothing that can be done. . . . . . . .
Except vote the RATS out. House, Senate WH.
I am very PO'd about it, but on closer examination it just may be what is needed to get rid of ZERO, Pelosi, Reed and many others. I know Harry doesn't come up in November but if we get control of the senate he will be out of power. . . .

Did Roberts originally vote to invalidate the mandate on commerce clause grounds, and to invalidate the Medicaid expansion, and then decide later to accept the tax argument and essentially rewrite the Medicaid expansion (which, as I noted, citing Jonathan Cohn, was the sleeper issue in this case) to preserve it?

Mike Savage pointed out that Roberts lack of clear thinking may have been caused by the medication he is taking for epilepsy. Could this be true?

The opinions of the Supreme Court in connection with this case lack cohesion.

As soon as the GOP has a majority in Congress, they should impeach Roberts.

The ramifications of his actions in this case extend beyond the impact of this law.

He has set an unconstitutional precedent in rewriting the terminology of a Federal Statute under review in order to approve it. This violates the separation of powers and establishes a precedence for future SCOTUS decisions which is intolerable and unacceptable.

The entire gang of five who approved this law totally disregarded the Tenth Amendment. The Constitution does NOT give the Federal Government the power to establish a national; healthcare program. If they get away with this, there is no limit to the power of Congress and the Federal Courts upon the States or the People.

While they are at it, they should impeach Bader-Ginsberg for stating the SCOTUS should look to actions of other nations in rendering their decisions on U.S> Law - a clear violation of the Constitution.

Clearly the time for inaction, tolerance, and avoidance of hard ball tactics is over.

So Roberts is a coward as well as a traitor. The bigger issue is that the republic was murdered and only Governor Jindall has had the guts to say “FU” to the court and DeathCare.

I think it was a flip caused by blackmail, “The Chicago Way.”

Most likely some old videotapes from the 1990s, when Roberts was doing pro-bono work for homosexual groups.

Smoke, fire, blackmail 20 years later.

The Chicago Way. I'll bet Axlerod wired it together, the same way he caused Obama’s previous election opponents to drop out with the timely release of sealed divorce records.

The Chicago Way.

Did Justice Roberts Switch his Vote Late in the Game?

WHAT DOES THIS MATTER? How about seeing it for what it is. Roberts voted to allow the Congress to pass anything related to forcing us to purchase a product...PERIOD. His solution is every 2-4 years this can be voted in then out, out then in. The court did not strike down abuses of the Commerace Clause, it remains another tool by the politicans to screw us. A Pox on Roberts for not having the balls to make a correct decision. Prick!

I’ve been booted off sites before for emphasizing this, but we have to recognize the situation: The Dhimmis will always be the party of increasing Government and high taxes.

IS NOW, AND FOREVER WILL BE.

The REAL problem that can destroy the country are the traitors in our midst. They will shaft good bills before a vote, make bad compromises, and snatch defeat from the jaws of Victory.

Roberts is only the LATEST example.
PURGE THE RINOS is the only way to win.

El Dictator Obozo to John the traitor, "Hey Justice John, Nancy is really great in bed isn't she, and her pictures of you in bed with her are ready to go on You Tube if you don't vote for us!"

A question for all of us: "When and how did Pelosi know that her side would win?"

Most everyone was aware that the commies had 4 votes no matter what. That left 3 for the conservative side with kennedy/roberts question marks. After the first vote was taken, it leaked that roberts was the tossup and needed to be the one isolated and attacked, not kennedy. The commies definitely got to the wuss roberts but a lot of credit goes to the 4 conservatives. Simply put, the conservatives need a strong 5 or 7 members vs the commie side and the november election is do or die.

Wittle justice Wobert changed his mind so as not to hurt the feelings of the “nice” Muslim President Obobo. Isn’t that so precious ?

I think Michael Savage is on to something about Roberts being medicated and suffering cognitive dissociation.

Mark Levin is talking about the post-Constitutional era of America.

When you have justices like Ginsburgh dissing the US constitution abroad, you know it's time to wake up and smell the betrayal. These people are not going to uphold the constitution.

We're on the streets, face-to-face with Obama's goons.
