BS. This type of scenario works only if your opponent agrees to “play by the rules.” Obama and his criminal gang have demonstrated, again and again, that they have no reluctance to not follow the Constitution, knowing full well that the lapdog media will support it and that the establishment GOP will not lift a finger to oppose.

Damn straight! You got that right! CJ Roberts was blackmailed.

A month or so ago I was at a county hearing that went against the party I was with, though I wasn’t the principal there. Illegally, unjustly, politically correct, (we were even forced to sign a silence agreement, so obviously illegal and legally dubious that I advised the members of my party who started shyly protesting that it was meaningless and would not stand up in court.) But to my deep disappointment the members of my party went along for the slaughter like sheep, and did not want to join me in filing an appeal or a protest, so that the matter ended up in a tragedy for two families. This maybe only remotely relevant, but it illustrates how laws are ignored, broken by government down to the county level.

Funny you suggested that. I’ve been thinking about the lack of dirt Snowden delivered on the worst offenders — the politicians.

Possible, but the Mid-Term Elections are not here yet. And perhaps, perhaps, Obama is the better secret chess-player here - if indeed Roberts is such - and his ultimate goal is socialized medicine and this mess is deliberately contrived to destroy the multi-party insurance network , throw everyone out in medical coverage limbo, and generate a demand from the masses for government insurance.
He should have stuck with the other conservative judges. I don’t trust him.

What a load of crap. Roberts bent over forwards for the executive branch. He did what he was expected to do to preserve the uniparty’s power. End of story.

His job isn’t to help the GOP or the democrats. His job is to evaluate the cases brought before the court based upon the law and the Constitution.

Not buying it. Robert succumbed to intense behind the scenes pressure from the White House, so much so that he changed his vote at the last possible second and then wrote an opinion completely at odds with the original one he authored. He was arguing with himself and lost.

I agree that the ACA is unconstitutional. I'll bet Chief Justice Roberts does, too. But the question at the time involved whether or not the ACA was unconstitutional
on the basis of the very specific legal challenge that was brought before the court.
Just because the U.S. Supreme Court found the individual mandate in the ACA constitutional on those grounds, it didn't mean the ACA was constitutional in its entirety. There was always going to be further legal challenges based on different legal arguments that could not be brought at the time because they related to provisions of Obamacare that hadn't even taken effect yet.

A better example is the Sherman Sliver Purchase Act, repeLed in a year after people saw how stupid it was.

"It is not our job," he [Roberts] added, "to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices." That says it all right there.

I’ve said some of these same things all along, I just stopped saying them on FR because no one will ever be convinced there was any more to Roberts decision than being a bastard/communist/idiot who was being blackmailed by the gay media, or something.
We’ll just wait and see how it unfolds.

And THAT is the question on which Scalia, Alito, Kennedy and Thomas are right and Roberts, Kagan and Ginsberg are wrong.
