Somehow the nation must get past the idea that federal courts are the venue for deciding the limits of Congressional or Presidential powers. Maybe panels of state justices or something instead. But, you can’t be one of the parties to the question and still get to issue a ruling and have people take it seriously.
They have gay photos of him and he did not complete the required paperwork in order to adopt his kids from Ireland.
Blackmail.
Put his own needs in front of those of the country.
Thank you Bushes. Please. No more Bushes.
Blackmailed into submission to the tyrant’s whims.
I don’t think that Justice Roberts got it wrong as much as he is essentially as lawless as Obama is imo.
It’s a dictatorship, NR.
Quit quibbling.
They want to ignore words - fine. I’ll ignore their words. You should too.

6-3 5-4 .. No matter, as a few defend Roberts not being the “deciding” vote. Some solace.
bumop for later
As I recall, the gist of Robert’s argument in his first Obamacare Ruling was that it was not his job to to determine what the legislature could - or could not pass.
In essence his argument seemed to be: “if congress wants to pass bad laws, who am I to stop them. They must learn to deal with the consequences of their actions (but I will make them face that a tax has to be called a tax)”.
With this ruling he has pretty much abandoned his reasoning from the first ruling by declaring that he simply can not let congress fail in their intent. IOW, if they create bad law, but have good intentions, he’ll make sure the law is crafted correctly.
Apparently congress is unable to function without a “Nanny SCOTUS”.
It can be argued that the ACA was deliberately drafted with extraordinary carelessness so that activist justices could interpret it any way that they wanted to.
In other words, the corrupt legislative branch unconstitutionally delegated legislative powers to the corrupt judicial branch, just like it does with the corrupt executive branch.
He is a GAY man who has ILLEGALLY ADOPTED his two CHILDREN FROM IRELAND and he is being BLACKMAILED....what else makes sense???
He’s not a justice. He’s a liberal political operative.
Since the rule of law no longer exists, we are about to enter an interesting period in our country. The elitists will soon learn what it’s like to live in culture where laws don’t protect them from their actions.
Didn’t matter how Roberts voted since Kennedy had made the deciding vote.
As baldly inane as that opinion was I can’t help but imagine the author was mocking it!
