“We should just start calling this law SCOTUScare,” Scalia wrote, referring to the several times the high court has ruled on controversial parts of ObamaCare.
Scalia blasted that reading.
“The court holds that when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act says ‘Exchange established by the State’ it means ‘Exchange established by the State or the Federal Government,’ Scalia wrote. “That is of course quite absurd, and the court’s 21 pages of explanation make it no less so.”

W initially nominated Roberts to replace O’Connor when she retired. When Renquist died, Bush withdrew Roberts’ nomination for Associate Justice and resubmitted it for Chief Justice. He simultaneously nominated Miers for Associate Justice. Who knows but that the vote would have been 7-2 had Miers been there instead of Alito . . .
Ten years ago, if I had written this admin's events to date as a movie script I would have been mocked and ridiculed.
Ditto. It's over.
"I've got a pen and I've got a phone. But most of all I have stacks of FBI and NSA folders." Obama.
[[we no longer HAVE a Constitution or Rule of Law]]
The Suipreme Court was supposed to be ‘we the people’s’ last line of defense against a rogue president- meaning that the supreme court was supposed to be the leash which keeps a president in line- preventing him/her from declaring any law they like- the supreme court is supposed to rule based on laws already on the books, and brought to them by congress- a president is NEVER supposed to have the ability to create unlawful laws that violate laws already o nthe3 books-
We no longer have our last line of defense because this supreme court makes law as it goes and is making law which supports the unconstitutional law that the lawless _resident is creating
The supreme court was always meant to be our last refuge- our last lien of defense against rogue president or rogue congress- Now we have NO line of defense- none- the SC is complicit in denying us our constitutional inalienable rights-
In the end, this might be a good thing. People in this country will now suffer from the law. That’s good, and might give us the presidency.
No, when Miers withdrew Alito was appointed to the court, not Roberts.
[[To read a Scalia dissent is so very refreshing.]]
I disagree- it’s very disheartening- knowing how spot on, how right he is AND knowing he is now in the minority and will never have his voice heard for beign overridden by the TRAITOR john Roberts- It’s sad watching truth and justice hammered by evil
You can bet the farm that the powers that be have already pre-determined 2016 will be about another Bush and another Clinton duking it out for the White House.
Me? I'll be staying home. I refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils anymore --- especially when you can't tell the difference between the two!
Roberts’ opinion is that law(s), esp. this Obamacare, were passed by representatives elected from the people, and his job is to uphold such law(s). If you don’t like the law(s), elect some one else to represent the law-writing.
Isn’t that enough ground to remove him from SC?
It’s no surprise that the treasonous Roberts strikes again.
What amazed me was that Kennedy - who was infuriated with Roberts for switching at the last moment at the first Obamacare vote - now sides with him.
It’s all about the money.
Civil war needs two sides fighting. That will never happen.
It is no longer the Supreme Court. It is the EXTREME Court!
“Yes, from federally socialized education (No Child Left Behind) to expansion of the welfare state (Medicare and “Faith Based welfare) Bush got the ball rolling for the Leftists behind Obama.”
Not to mention going from a balanced budget to a free for all with Hastert and Frist doleing out earmarks while George W. kept his veto pen in his pocket. Bush’s compassionate conservatism was nothing but a lie.
Of course his father was the same. Appointing Souter to the Supreme Court, walking away from his “No new taxes” pledge, driving the conservative Reagan people out of his administration, and running a feckless campaign against Bill Clinton. Don’t forget Colin Powell had key roles in the administrations of both father and son Bush.
SCOTUSCare is the new term for this federal POS. The Roberts court is a disappointment...
Seems to be that one is inevitable as well. I think the first question the justices ask is “what’s the Administration’s take on this one?”
And IF Jeb gets the nomination there will be the usual FReeper-RINO’s claiming we have to vote for him or we want Hitlery.
I will get banned for life from FR by telling these a$$hole RINO lovers to go to hell with more four letter words they even knew existed.
