Chief Justice Roberts has done the American people a favor.....if they listen. He has thrown this whole subject back in the laps of the people. Now let’s see what we will do with it. This election will tell all. We need to take control of the Senate and hold the House. The Oval Office would be a plus.

Their singular job is to determine the constitutionality of a decision. In this case, they punted. End of story.

They put it in our laps kinda like King George put it in our laps. I’m eager to see how this generation responds.

I disagree. An unconstitutional act/law is exactly the courts job. Kicking it back to the voters is reckless & potentially disastrous. When the unconstitutional over reach is so vast that it threatens to irrevocably rig the game, punting is treason. If this were something less critical like stolen valor or campaign finance, I would say bravo BUT when it is giving government carte Blanche, F that!

In the best of times, getting the voters to do the right thing is a iffy proposition. When the global economy is swirling the toilet bowl & the government has been given the green light, there is no way in hell that the outcome Robert’s supposedly is hoping for can ever happen. It doesn’t take a degree from Harvard to see that either.
