so why do we even have a supreme court if they’re just a rubber stamp?

DING! Winner. The founding fathers created a framework for the Supreme Court, and Roberts FAILED to follow it!

The entire purpose of the USSC is to evaluate the laws that Congress passes and the President signs as written and passed against the Constitution.

The USSC takes the law as written and puts it up against the Constitution to determine whether or not the law is in agreement with, or violates the Constitution.

This is exactly where Roberts failed, and why the true Conservatives on the court expressed their own outrage in their dissenting opinion!

The role of the US Supreme Court has never been to re-write any law period. Yet, that is what Roberts and the liberals on the court did. They re-wrote the law to fit their needs in order to make it Constitutional.

Now, any talk about Roberts giving Conservatives a "gift" is complete, unadulterated bullshit and any talk of such is simply falling into the liberal lamestream media trap.

I'm frankly shocked to see so many on here falling for it.

I would rather the USSC have done it's job and let the political fallout land where it may than Chief Justice Roberts abscond his responsibilities via seeking approval of the lamestream media by attempting to de-politicize the court.

Roberts committed an act of cowardice not courage!

Now here are the hurdles we have to overcome this November:

1. Elect Romney. Like it or not, that's what we must do.

2. Turn the Senate over, giving Republican's at least 51 votes. 51 is the important number here since it takes 51 votes to over-turn any TAX in the Senate.

3. Keep the House of Representatives in Republican hands, and I'd say REPLACE BOEHNER as Speaker. I don't care that he's scheduling a symbolic vote (and let's face it, that's what it is) the week of July 9th. When it comes to repealing Obamacare, I doubt he has the backbone.

4. Pass legislation in the House & Senate to repeal Obamacare. There can be NO EXCUSES accepted from the Republican's if they have both houses of Congress and the White House. Once again, the Stupid Party has a way of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, it is on all of us to put intense pressure on the Republican's to keep their word.

5. Romney must sign the bill, putting it into Law. Again, intense pressure required to force him to do it.

6. Finally, anyone who doesn't believe that repealing Obamacare won't face a court challenge is serioulsy kidding themselves. Once 'benefits' start flowing, Obamacare will be impossible to repeal. Historically, the USSC has ruled that once benefits stop flowing, Congress simply can't "turn them off" .. this is exactly what the USSC did with Social Security.

This is the burden that Chief Justice Roberts put on each and every one of us, because he was too much of a COWARD to actually do his job.

Are we up to the task? Lord I sure hope so. I personally wrote my first political campaign contribution check in many years the day Obamacare was ruled Constitutional by this cowardly Supreme Court. Much as I hated donating to the Romney campaign, I wrote the check for the max individual amount and sent it in. I then signed up to help the campaign here locally and now have a bunch of signs to distribute.

Don't get me wrong: I don't like Romney. He wasn't my second, third, fourth or even fifth choice. This is however the hand we've been dealt, and I'd kick myself if I didn't do everything I personally could to remove and replace Obama and ObamaCare.

One last thing: We all know Obamacare implements the largest tax increase in the history of Civilization. I have stopped referring to it as "Obamacare." I now call it the OSHIT TAX.

Obama Supremes Health Insurance Tax.

When American's wake up after Labor day, that's exactly what they're going to be saying when they realize how much their taxes are going up due to the Bush Tax Cuts expiring and the OSHIT taxes kick in.

God Save America.

They re-wrote the law to fit their needs in order to make it Constitutional.

Here is the syllabus...

@NATIONAL FEDERATION OF INDEPENDENT BUSINESS ET AL. v. SEBELIUS

What, in your opinion, was "rewritten"?
Here is the Court's opinion of how the bill was written...

The Affordable Care Act is constitutional in part and unconstitutional in part. The individual mandate cannot be upheld as an exercise of Congress’s power under the Commerce Clause. That Clause authorizes Congress to regulate interstate commerce, not to order individuals to engage in it. In this case, however, it is reasonable to construe what Congress has done as increasing taxes on those who have a certain amount of income, but choose to go without health insurance. Such legislation is within Congress’s power to tax.

I'm frankly shocked to see so many on here falling for it.
I don't feel like I'm falling for anything. I see a Justice who exposed an income tax that some in Congress were deliberately trying to hide from being recognized as such.
I think you need to read the decision again, but that's just my opinion.
