Two video clips via Real Clear Politics Video, both on CJ Roberts' ObamaCare decision.
First, O'Reilly: Roberts' Ruling Is A "Conservative Decision"
O'Reilly reviews the Supreme Court's ruling on President Obama's health care reform law. Subtitle: Should conservatives despise John Roberts? (Time: 6:10)
Second, Mark Levin: "Roberts Threw The Door Wide Open On The Constitution"
(Time: 6:07) "John Roberts threw the door wide open on the Constitution. Whatever clause he used, it really doesn’t matter to me — it’s all phony, it’s all written in invisible ink what he’s done and what others do to massively increase federal government’s power against you," nationally syndicated radio talk show host Mark Levin said on FOX News' "America Live" this afternoon.
"I don’t normally go after justices unless justices by name come after us. And the fact is that this decision is so outrageous, what he did is so damaging to the court, to the perception of the court and so forth – he has to be called out by name … The more judges and justices want to play politics, the more they are not going to be immune from the political process," Levin said.
Seriously? Go here...browse around and see what Mark does day after day, month after month, year after year, trying to stem the tide of madness and anti-liberty legislation that goes on ALL THE TIME in our once great nation.

Charles Krauthammer Comments In Detail On ObamaCare Ruling. ” Brilliant Tactical Maneuver By Roberts"
Mon, 07.02.12 6:19pm EST
BY: Charles Krauthammer
To all my friends, particularly those conservatives who are despondent over the searing betrayal by Chief Justice John Roberts and the pending demise of our beloved country, I offer this perspective to convey some profound hope and evidence of the Almighty’s hand in the affairs of men in relation to the Supreme Court’s decision on Obamacare.
I initially thought we had cause for despondency when I only heard the results of the decision and not the reason or the make-up of the sides. I have now read a large portion of the decision and I believe that it was precisely the result that Scalia, Alito, Thomas, Roberts and even Kennedy wanted and not a defeat for conservatism or the rule of law. I believe the conservatives on the court have run circles around the liberals and demonstrated that the libs are patently unqualified to be on the Supreme Court.
Let me explain.

WTH???
Well if he wrote that on Monday he certainly had several days to think about it
BUT he also said the SM would be forced to cover Fast and Furious —still waiting
Right, that was what I read yesterday by Dr. K.
Roberts’ throwing ‘the problem’ back to the voting public, instead of ‘doing his job’. Hence in my #1 comment - “a huge gamble, with so much to lose ....”
Levin is the author of “Men in Black” (concerning the Supreme Court).
O’Reilly is the guy who makes obscene phone calls to women other than his wife, allegedly.
(better than being a HOMOPOTUS, though.)
Doesn’t make sense
Roberts should have called it unconstitutional and be done with it
Why care what the liberals would say or do
The election would hinge on the economy
Let the libs turn out
As long as the GOP has the house ain’t no new Obamacare getting through
If Roberts was trying to outwit the left like Kraut says he really screwed up
And we will pay dearly for his ego trip
It makes perfect sense when human nature is entered into the equation. Roberts has the mentality of a high schooler. He wants the in crowd to think he is cool too. His decision was based purely on trying to gain the acceptance of the media’s pundits, the liberal ones. Being accepted by the EJ Dionne’s of the world means more to him than his country and constitution.
He [Roberts]first emphatically states that Obamacare is unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause saying you cannot make people buy stuff. Then he emphatically states that it is unconstitutional under the “necessary and proper” clause which only applies to “enumerated powers” in the US Constitution. Justices Ginsberg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan all went along with these statements.
____________________________________________________________
No they did not! Ginsburg flat out said otherwise in the first paragraph of her opinion, and was joined by Kagan et al...
I agree with The Chief Justice that the Anti-Injunction Act does not bar the Court’s consideration of this case, and that the minimum coverage provision is a proper exercise of Congress’ taxing power. I therefore join Parts I, II, and III–C of The Chief Justice’s opinion. Unlike The Chief Justice, however, I would hold, alternatively, that the Commerce Clause authorizes Congress to enact the minimum coverage provision.
Not O’Reilly, that is for sure.
As I said - WTH?
The Roman Empire's laws were never formally repealed either.
How long will Obamacare be enforced? Not long I believe.
He's a Harvard guy, just like O'Bama.
Bill is just watching out for a fellow alumnus.
Levin is a hero. A lone voice for Freedom.
