I still don’t understand why the republicans are so afraid of him. I guess it’s because they love the perks and don’t want to lose the black vote. sarc

Our pets will get better, more state of the art medical assistance because veterinarians are not subject to obamacare/tax.;)

Well, if you are sick, you can always say "Moo" and go see your vet. B-) B-P

Where’s the silver lining in the umbra and penumbras of Chief Injustice Roberts ruling? I want my Silver Lining!

Your silver lining is this: the government has thrown off the Constitution because of its constraints, insodoing they have thrown off the very thing sustaining their own authority. IOW, there is now no valid federal law because all such laws were passed "pursuant to the Constitution."

I’m blown away by the idiocy of your comment when seen in light of your tagline.

Thank you so darn much for pulling the lever for Obama.

Absolute hypocritical horsesh*t!

People like you, voting your sanctimonious “conscience” will get this socialist Obama re-elected. And don’t tell me Romney is the same. Kiss my AS$! He and any other candidate (except the Clintons) would be better for our formerly great nation than the idiot that your “conscience” is going to elect.

So I have absolute contempt for you self-righteous wusses who are voting for Obama by refusing to take the admittedly flawed alternative.

The Constitution, negotiated 225 years ago this summer in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, provided for a limited national federal government.

The difference eludes the author and is critical to understanding what plagues us today.

You fell into the trap as well.
The Constitution is not national but federal in nature.
The United states are supposed to be a Confederation, not a Federation.

A fascinating article which has made me ponder as to whether this nation would be better off without a written Constitution with only Natural Law as its guide as in Britain? I would like to hear Mr. Di Leo propound on how our laws and mores would have evolved sans a written constitution. Yes, I realize England is in a worse mess of progressive pottage than we are, but Americans are a more independent lot, or at least once were.

After the ‘Roberts Rule’ I no longer feel any constitutional protections. At a minimum, with a better understanding of Natural Law, our educational institutions could not so easily dismiss the works of Adam Smith and John Locke.

Does anyone here know if Mark Levin has addressed this issue of Natural Law vs written constitutions? It does make for an interesting foray into fanciful jurisprudence.

This thread is about the Supreme Court ruling - it is not a Romney thread. Your nasty words to me means you are also saying the same thing to Jim Robinson who owns this website as he believes as I do and as many others do.

Just for the record, though you don’t deserve the courtesy, I can’t stand Romney.

You and your type will elect Obama. How’s that going to work out for your self-righteous conscience?
