Don't be sick. Roberts may have just slapped us all hard enough to truly stand and fight for our country. Get yer marching boots on.
"Salvaging the idea that Congress did have the power to try to expand health care to virtually all Americans, the Supreme Court on Monday upheld the constitutionality of the crucial – and most controversial — feature of the Affordable Care Act. By a vote of 5-4, however, the Court did not sustain it as a command for Americans to buy insurance, but as a tax if they don’t. That is the way Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., was willing to vote for it, and his view prevailed. The other Justices split 4-4, with four wanting to uphold it as a mandate, and four opposed to it in any form."
I agree with your take on this. Roberts was playing King Solomon on this ruling. He acknowledged that this beast of a law is the product of politics and the ultimate resolution will be the product of politics. He took away the Democrats’ ability to force this through under the illegal use of the Commerce Clause.
He basically sent it back to the House and said, ok. If you want this monstrosity to stand, go back and get it the legal way, via Congress’ unlimited ability to tax. This is not the battle the Democrats wanted, for obvious reasons. Ginsburg has already been cited as saying she is very upset the Mandate did not stand under Commerce Clause. This ruling is very bad for us, but we still have the ability to fight it if the people have the will. We need a new Congress and desperately need to defeat Obama. That is all we have left.
I agree with you on this, Justice Roberts has just SLAPPED the
American people upside the head and said FIGHT for your country!!!
Elect legislators that will give you back your freedoms THIS IS NOW A
TAX AND THAT IS A GOOD THING FOR OUR SIDE!!!!!
