Maybe Roberts is still celebrating Independence Day on Malta?

Did everyone hear Mr. Romney’s vibrant speech on this
last night and this morning?
This is the MOST IMPORTANT vote this month, and
Mr. Romney was all over it — pitching for conservatism,
and against statism, and against socialized medicine.
Mr. Romney’s speech will go down into eternity on this
as he made the case against ObamaCARE for Americans.
Thank you, Mr. Romney for speaking up loudly and now.

Why is the Republican House leadership derelict in obtaining this information from Justice Roberts who perhaps is the best qualified witness which can be summoned to testify before Congress, and more interested in a useless bill to repeal Obamacare which has a definite death sentence in the Senate? Why does the Republican Party leadership allow Obamacare to move forward without knowing the constitutional provisions Justice Roberts has been delinquent in pointing to? Surely you mean all this rhetorically, don't you?

When is the last time a Justice testifie before Congress.
To: JOHN W K
If the House of Representatives were restrained from considering only that legislation which was predicted to meet with the approval of the Senate, there would be no reason to have a House of Representatives and/or a Senate. The House of Representatives and its members have a duty and obligation to represent the interests of the voters they represent. The Senate fails to represent the voters at the present time because the rotating six year terms of office retard a more timely representation of the voters interests.
The House of REpresentatives and members of the Senate favoring repeal of Obamacare (ACA) could possibly secure repeal of Obamacare (ACA) using the same backdoor deeming used to supposedly pass Obamacare in the first place, because Chief Justice Roberts deemed it to be a tax subject to such rules.
Faint hearts and faint minds do not win struggles.

I am not sure there is a Consititutional bases for requiring the CJOSCOTUS to be summed in the US House other than for an Impeachment. Remember, the Senate votes to confirm judges not the House.

Doing this would no doubt trigger a very convoluted Separation of Powers battle. Frankly we don’t need the
distraction.
To: Sacajaweau
Is that a relevant question? The fact is, Congress has power to summon witnesses to testify and gather information necessary in the preparation of legislation. Who is better qualified to testify than Justice Roberts with respect to what specific tax may be resorted to by Congress when applying Obama’s individual mandate?

They are not “liberals”. They are conniving Marxist parasites who use the cloak of government force to steal the property which labor, business and investors have worked to create .

The Republican/Democrat tyrants in Congress cannot completely enslave you without having control over your health care needs and choices!

Federal Health care by consent of the governed (Article 5) our amendment process --- tyranny by a majority vote in Congress or a Supreme Court’s majority vote!

Mr. RomneyCARE could --AND WILL-- never have made a serious case against ObamaCARE for Americans
because 'but for Mr. Romney' they would not exist.
