How is that in any way a good thing?

Because he took the court out of it and gave it back to the people.

Now it is up to us to vote in the right people.

How is that better than Roberts joining the originalists on the court, throwing the whole abomination out and making a statement about governmental overreach in the majority opinion?

The people who elected the idiots in the first place.

The court was supposed to be a check against a runaway government violating the Constitution, regardless of how many people voted for them. Not a body that simply states "elections have consequences".

If the majority of the American people decide to elect people that support something unconstitutional, the court is supposed to be the last line of defense against mob/majority rule.

At least as I understand it.

The message I get from the court today is: Command and punish your subjects as you see fit. Simply call it a "tax" and it's all good.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Roberts decided firmly with the Statists against Liberty and against our Constitution.

You need to think about the administrative state. It is vast and growing daily. There are nearly 300,000 people who's sole job is to implement this monstrosity.

They aren't going away. Their power and size will only increase over time. It is the nature of States to grow and consume the wealth of others.

Any rationalization of Robert's position is naive.

The power no longer lies with the people. That is now a fiction. True power lies in a growing sadistic bureaucracy that infest all local, state and federal governments.

The only thing to stop the growing soft tyranny is a total collapse of our civilization. There is no longer a way to "legislate" our way back to Liberty.
