It’s not that you were wrong in your analysis of what might well be the eventual result of the Roberts’ action.

It’s just trying to read Roberts’ mind is what the political chattering classes are doing. And in the attempt to step up to the editorial podium to sound all wise and insightful....well hey, RG, I write fiction too. You just dream it up in YOUR head and attribute it to a character, in this case Chief Justice Roberts.

I swear I’m right, I swear I’m right. Roberts did not want to take a stand, he did not want the court to take a stand.

He did not do his job, which was to take the law, AS WRITTEN, and rule if it’s in keeping with the constitution.

COME ON GUYS! Why couldn’t he just do his damn job?

Now we look at a Supreme court with jaundiced eyes. Cause we can’t get rid of them.

Let me end by saying it again, maybe Roberts is reading this thread:

YOUR JOB IS TAKE LEGISLATION AS APPEALED AND DETERMINE IF IT MATCHED OUR CONSTITUTION AS WRITTEN AND AMMENDED.

Sheesh, it ain’t even rocket science....we do this sort of stuff all the time out here in la-la land.

“Hey Joe, I’m working on drafting a law that has a penalty for people who don’t get rain gutters on their houses. Does this match the contract with the community organization?”

“Well Bob, maybe you should call it an extra monthly assessment for those without suitable rain gutters. The contract calls for proper rain gutters on all homes in the community. The contract also allows a special assessment for those not in compliance with the bylaws.”

“So I shouldn’t call it a penalty but an extra assessment?”

“Yeah Bob. Cause if the homeowners appeal it to me I’m going to have to strike it down cause the contract does not call for “penalties”.

Like that.

All the time we do this stuff out here in la-la land where we carry this country on our backs.

Yet this past year we’ve spent millions of dollars, couldv’e bought many homes for non-working liberals, waiting for those prima donnas on the Supreme court to come with a ruling when go on, he could have just done his job.

Actually, over the past week I just finished reading reams and reams of conjecture some probably true some probably not about who Roberts and the people who put him in power really are. My comments stem from a lot of the research I did.To me they seemed logical.

It's rather obvious he ducked the issue of "was the mandate legal/constitutional or not" by declaring it a tax. The question remains why.
