The Left won the Supreme Court decision, at least with respect to Obamacare. But, the price that they paid was a tougher row to hoe on the way to Mr. Obama's reelection. Its now up to the voters to make this monstrosity go away.

“IT is not our job,” Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. wrote in Thursday’s health care ruling, “to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.”

That's true to an extent, but it's a non-sequitir in context because it doesn't justify the Obamacare ruling. It IS the courts responsibility to prevent a tyranny of a transient majority by striking down laws passed by the representatives they elect if they unconstitutionally harm anyone, even those who didn't vote for them. IOW, **I** didn't vote for anyone who voted for Obamacare, and if it's unconstitutional, the court still has to protect ME from it.

It IS their job when the Constitution is trashed by those politicians.

Who will deliver health care, and not be fairly compensated for their training and efforts?

The cost of Health Care, just your Freedom, ultimately your Life, and It will be futile to pursue Happiness. Pretty much sums up the cost.

“IT is not our job,” Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. wrote in Thursday’s health care ruling, “to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.”

The funny part is, I’d be perfectly happy to accept that, IF and ONLY IF, the Supreme Court were consistent. A consistent Supreme Court would mean no Roe v Wade decision, no school busing, and a host of other stupid decisions made during the last hundred years.

What I am NOT prepared to accept is, “well sometimes we will, and sometimes we won’t, just depends on how we feel at the time.”

All this time I thought the job of the Supreme Court was to take a look at the Constitution to ensure that the laws passed by the legislative branch of government are within the context and intent of that document.

The Supreme Court is supposed to protect the people from lawless legislation.

What’s incredibly depressing is to read the comment section following that article. I know its redundant to say that liberals are stupid, but I feel like I’m in a parralel universe when reading that stuff. Their worldview is so radically different from mine that I can’t begin to debate them based on their premise.
