What a mess the Roberts appointment has turned out to be.
From Scalia’s dissent: “We should start calling this law SCOTUScare.”
On FoxNews, Judge Napolitano says basically that Roberts pretzeled another decision to save Obamacare.
“In this instance, the context and structure of the Act compel us to depart from what would otherwise be the most natural reading of the pertinent statutory phrase.” - Justice Roberts explaining that he felt compelled to ignore the literal meaning of the healthcare law.
Honestly, there really are no words.

"We're not gonna stand for obolacare!!!" - (crickets)
"We're not gonna stand for TPP / TPA!!!!" - (crickets)

America is doomed, because her protectors - the people - refuse to stand.
This law will be unraveled one person at a time and the Democrats will have to defend their position each time. The guy who had to pay back thousands on his tax return, the guy who found his Healthcare costs have increased 30% from the previous year, the person who is told his elderly parent can’t have a certain life saving treatment and, the person who is told his company can no longer afford to keep him on because of the cost of his healthcare. Drip, drip, drip.
The Chief Justice did NOT say that tomorrow will be the last day of the session, so there WILL be an opinion on Monday. Just what? Who knows.
Matthew 19:4-5:
And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?
Mark 10:9:
Twice, now, Hemmer on FoxNews has said that we should start calling the bill SCOTUSCare.
[Is he trying to give it a new name/identity to take pressure off Obama and his legacy?]
So. I guess we all still think that our votes matter?
This is merely a “translegal” decision. In the same way that being “transexual” means you’re whatever sex you think you are, “translegal” means the law is defined however the kleptocrats thinks it’s defined.
