If I had my way I would drag him out of there kicking and screaming and would make it so if he came within a mile of a courthouse he would be arrested.
This clown has no idea WTF he is doing.
He has no idea what his job is.
His job is not to redefine what the Democrats did, but to determine if it was Constitutioonal the way it was written.
Obviously it is not or he would not have had to redefine it.
Roberts has been compromised badly in my opinion and will be laudhed at for 200 years. He is now and will be a total joke.
Its quite simple; the same majority that will repeal ObamaCare in January 2013 will vote to impeach John Roberts in February 2013.
the last and only Justice to have been impeached appears to have been in 1805..
Samuel Chase (April 17, 1741 – June 19, 1811) was an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court and earlier was a signatory to the United States Declaration of Independence as a representative of Maryland. Early in life, Chase was a “firebrand” states-righter and revolutionary.[2] His political views changed over his lifetime and in the last decades of his career he became well known as a staunch Federalist, and was impeached for allegedly letting his partisan leanings affect his court decisions. Chase was acquitted by the Senate.
All of this is an attempt by those “invested” in his “leadership” to avoid having their investment flushed.
Perhaps an American can be found to fill his seat.
Nothing to see here, people. Move along...
” - - - the prerogative to make policy judgments.”
Traitor John changed his mind after ONLY two public tongue-lashings from Dictator “You Lie” Obama. Traitor John is a true Profile in Cowardice.
Nope.
Next stupid question?
As is the globalist treasonous twit who appointed him.
Truly a Solomoronic ruling as the legislation under consideration had no severability provision, on purpose (it was in there before it wasn't).
I didn’t read the article, but was wondering what the heck does a ‘center for a just society’ mean and what does it do.
Mega suspicion rises every time I hear some one calling for ‘a just society’.
Not al all, Ken. Roberts was stupid.
The intent of the law was for it to not be a tax. That was argued in the House, in the Senate, and by the President.
The word ‘Tax” is not used in the law.
Roberts re-wrote the law. And opened a GIGANTIC pandora’s box of taxing possibilities.
Stupidest decision since Roe v Wade.
“And before we go further, let’s make one thing clear. In ascending to the Supreme Court, John Roberts did not take an oath to advance the cause of conservatism or the agenda of the Republican Party. He did not agree to become a judicial activist for the Right. He took an oath to uphold the Constitution. The role of the Court is to interpret the Constitution, and in the Obamacare decision, he has made a good faith, well-reasoned, carefully considered attempt to do just that.”
This is utter stupidity. There is no such thing judicial activism on the Right. Last time I checked, it’s us on the Right who demand that the Constitution be upheld. That’s not activism, that’s what Supreme Court Justices swear an oath to do. Not a difficult concept, to say the least.
And another thing, since when is rewriting a bill so the square peg fits in the round hole making a decision that’s “well-reasoned” and in “good faith” ?
Roberts is a RINO, a Republican liberal. As such, he has no reason to feel any shame and none of us has any reason to feel any shock or surprise.
If you read his most important opinions, the opinions people think are “conservative” are simply opinions he thought at the time would help the Republican Party (e.g., Citizens United).
Roberts is a Republican. He is also a liberal. He is a RINO. He is not a conservative. If anyone thought he was a conservative, the veil has now been lifted.
The founding principle of this nation is the “right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Roberts has just subjected that right to taxation: you exist, so pay up several thousand dollars annually (with limited exemptions at the whim of Congress) or forfeit that right.
About on par with Germany’s “Enabling Acts of 1933”. That’s...about as bad as it gets.
Bookmarked for later reading.
Thanks!
