Could Roberts have been BLACKMAILED?? His two ADOPTED children came from Ireland VIA LATIN AMERICA.......Legally??? hmmmmmmm
Right now the entire Supreme Court has atttended either harvard (6)or yale(3).
Question from final exams: When is a mandate not a mandate? Answer: When you call it a tax.
He voted for SB1070 because of his children also, I believe.
John Roberts is a traitor to America, and this dirty b*stard’s decision will throw millions out of work, and will cause millions more to lose their good insurance. Businesses teetering on the edge are assured of bankruptcy. Bob
Well said.
I don’t give a damn. This waste of a black robe has thrown America down the sewer instead of standing up for the Constitution. Bob
No.
We were flim-flammed.
Bush II knew what he was doing. He wanted to balance out Alitto with somebody his globalist Bilderberger Council on Foreign relations RINO buddies would be happy with. And he ulimtately did.
Miers would have been no better or worse than this back-stabbing Rino bastard Roberts.
“With all due respect”?
NOt an ounce of respect is due the supremes nor the federal gub mint.
F-em.
And as for our affirmative action president???
And sandra Day says it is wrong to criticize judges!!!
Tar and feather time.
Tribe has been the leftwing media’s go-to guy on legal matters for years.
“did Bush know this would be the result of his pick?”
What do YOU think?
Look at his record and his Daddy’s and THAT shold give you the answer.
Exactly. Roberts IS a traitor to America. I expected the deranged leftist pukes to continue in their attempts to destroy America. Ginsburg has a second-rate mind, and the others are as daft as any guy you might find on a barstool, after a half dozen drinks. But Roberts is intelligent. He lost his nerve just like a coward in battle who would give up his men to save his own skin. Bob
Rove?
Although I am disappointed with the decision, it doesn't surprise me, and your assessment is very thoughtful. I'm not sure this is so bad, and I'm a doc. I have been despondent about my profession ever since the passage of Obamacare, so it would be very hard for me to be even more depressed about what has happened to American medicine. It appears to me, at first glance, that this decision makes Obamacare more vulnerable to legislative action.
That said, I think Roberts did what he did because of exactly what you stated. He distilled this down to a matter of whether or not, as a tax, Obamacare could stand. By doing so he implicitly stated that the commerce clause doesn't apply. He, unlike the leftists on the court, has tried to restrict his role to one of strict constitutionality, and not ideology. We all wanted him, and the other members appointed by Republican presidents, to make an ideological decision based on conservatism. Although ironic to us, he likely views himself as restricted from doing that by the constitutional restraints placed on his role.
U.S. medicine has been in trouble for a long time, not because it isn't the best in the world, but because it became a political focal point long ago. When DRG’s came on board in the 80s it was already a game changer. I strongly believe that a much better model, that can revitalize the profession, can be fashioned. Don't know if it will happen soon enough to make a difference in my professional lifetime, but I do know that if it doesn't happen many patients will suffer. As it stands, although I love seeing patients and strongly consider it a tremendous privilege to be able to care for people's health, I have very little enthusiasm for my profession as a whole.
FU too Sandra!
I wonder just what motivated him to submit to this travesty.

I am wondering if he did this because he knows that this is going to sink obama. More job loss, higher taxes, stocks tanking. Just wondering.
