I'm no fan of ObamaCare and I don't like the results of either court decision, but in these two cases Roberts was at least consistent, not schizophrenic. In both cases he expressed a clear preference for a legislative remedy for the issue at hand. In both of his decisions on ObamaCare, he has basically said that it wasn't the court's role to fix or overturn an idiotic law -- at least on the grounds that were before the court in those cases.

He has pointed the finger at Congress and told it to fix the stupid law itself. I can't say I disagree with him on that one.

You got it exactly wrong. He said in the Obamacare ruling last week that the law didn’t really mean state when it clearly said state. In other words, he “fixed” the law to mean “the Union” or “the Federal Government” where it clearly meant the states.

In the gay marriage ruling the next day, he said SCOTUS cannot fix bad law.

Huckabee has it exactly right, except the reason is not schizophrenia, it is craven deception. The only reason he opined as he did on gay marriage is because his vote was not needed to satisfy his progressive masters - so he tried to rebuild his conservative facade.

Roberts is a purely evil man.

You been spending too much time in Denver smoking those legal joints and it has fogged your ability to reason.

Incorrect. The clear text of the Obamacare Subsidy portion was simply ignored, and they guessed what was meant instead. That is a judicial activist overturning of the English language.

Rush Limbaugh, in 2008, stated we were in a Post-Constitutional phase.

Mark Levin, in 2012, stated we were in a Post-Law phase.

I, in 2015, state we are in a Post-English-Language phase.

He has obliterated the meaning of words.
