"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I don’t expect them to always agree with me but I do expect them to interpret the law, not write it.

Say what you will, this was not a decision based on law. It was a decision based on politics.

And it is a textbook case of “too big to fail”. Sadly, it effectively destroyed our constitution. The writing is now on the wall.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Good for him. This is the quality I like in Cruz. He has the courage to speak the truth plainly and no matter what.

Despite his flub on TPP, seems Ted is the true article.

The SCOTUS is as bad as Pelosi and Reid.

[Vigilanteman]

Ted is right, but nobody will give up a lifetime appointment in return for a gig which comes up for renewal every two or six years.

Our district is blessed with a solid state representative who is now running for a judge position in our Commonwealth which lasts ten years between elections.

Some are quite critical because he just overwhelmingly won re-election last November. I'm saying he is making a good move because even if he fails to win election to the judge position, he still has his day job. Liberals never let go of an office they have until they've secured a higher office. Why shouldn't our side play by their rules?

Rush deemed 2008 the start of the Post-Constitutional Era.

Mark Levin deemed 2012 the start of the Post-Law Era.

I deem 2015 the start of the Post-English-Language Era.

The Supreme Court is not even remotely about justice. It is purely political, and it is the best reason for a convention of the states.

If they’re going to be political, then they might as well run for a term-limited office.

The exact opposite effect from the Founders’ intent has happened with them. (Helped along tremendously by the 17th amendment). Rather than tenure allowing them to be above politics, they have become purely political, and then they hang around for life.

Levin is right: Convention of the States to amend the Constitution. The nation is being lost anyway, so why not go for a hail Mary. We need only 13 states to prevent a truly egregious amendment from being passed.

Still though no matter what the American people believe in the Supreme Court and the United Nations. They can’t figure out they have been had.

Expecting God to resign and run for Cardinal?

Pfffttt

Do you think this will catch the attention of the ill-informed Republican primary voters?

[Starboard]

And it is a textbook case of “too big to fail”.

Excellent case in point. Well said.

[P-Marlowe]

If Congress really wanted to fix this they could just pass a law prohibiting the Federal Government from subsidizing any individual who did not buy their insurance from the “individual state of their residency”.

They could also make the whole thing unconstitutional by simply amending the law to provide for a “penalty which will not be considered a tax” for failure to comply.

Congress doesn’t want to undo Obamacare. All this protesting is nothing but Kabuki Theater.

Congress has fully surrendered to the Obama agenda.

The Republic no longer exists. We are officially a dictatorship backed by a feckless congress and a compliant judiciary.

At this point everything every politician says about repealing Obamacare is just empty rhetoric. It ain’t gonna happen.

But since we now live in a dictatorship, maybe we can elect a “conservative” dictator.

Keep it up Amerika, soon you will have a Scotus made up of Roland Freislers.

I am sure there is a point somewhere in that post, however, color me dense this morning, I just don't see it!

Yep, just sent in another donation. If he doesn't make it, it won't be because the grass roots conservatives haven't supported him.

I don't know how much he has received to date, but we are all trying to help.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Cruz is about the only level-headed leader in the nation left. And, the nation is coming unglued at an amazing rate of speed.

[xzins]

Are you as PO’d about Roberts as I am?

He didn’t even pretend to be going after justice. It was a huge middle finger to patriots. Scalia, bless him, knows they are laughing at the former republic
