Power corrupts. I tend to observe once a “Conservative” has been in DC, they tend to spoil (go native and/or become part of the problem) at or around 6 years in office. Roberts will have served as Chief Justice for 7 years as of September. Predictably right on schedule.

Two words: Litmus Tests.

Liberals claim to hate ‘em but use ‘em.

Conservatives claim to love ‘em but don’t use ‘em.

Remember the screaming from “conservatives,” like Ann Coulter when Bush dared to nominate someone who was NOT an Ivy league law school graduate?

It’s taken them over 70 years to consolidate power to this extent and they will not go away easily.

They have infested and infected almost everything.

Roberts should not be impeached because the Senate would definitely convict and give Obama a SCOTUS nomination that changes the balance.

Instead, if Romney wins in November, the second thing he should do is publicly ask Roberts to step down because Romney has lost confidence in Roberts' judgement.

Roberts needs to be publicly humiliated and ostracized.

It's already tipped towards the liberals with Roberts, trust me, this will not be the last time he votes with the liberals.

Don’t you think it would be kind of awkward for a President Romney, who as governor massed Romneycare, to step aside for voting in favor of Obamacare?

Moreover, Romney has said that he would appoint more Justices like Roberts.

No, because Romney always said that a state's power to pass a state law that extends only to the state's boundaries is a lot different than passing a law that affects everyone in every state. The economies of scale are very different between a state and a nation. Also, Obamacare will cover all the illegal aliens in every state, and be paid for only by legal residents. Romneycare only covers residents of Massachusetts, and is paid for only by Massachusetts residents.

Romney has said that he would appoint more Justices like Roberts.

That was before today's ruling. That's the point of the "lost confidence" comment.

Then again, according to this -

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2900723/posts

Roberts’ ruling is a brilliant ploy that will destroy Obamacare by forcing those states that set up the “exchanges” to pay for it by taxing that states’ citizens to pay for it. In fact, this will be the mother-of-all-tax-increases and unaffordable.

At the same time the ruling prevents the feds from punishing states that do not adopt it.

Read that analysis again. The ruling said that states that refuse to participate cannot be penalized. The ruling *does not* say the Feds cannot funnel money to states that do participate.

The record is four times, Romney switched, supporting Abortion, the last, putting abortion in Romneycare.

Evil is being shown for what it is in more ways then one.

Pray for conversions, especially BHO and Romney, to the last moment, God is merciful.

It does not matter if it is on the federal, state or local level, both ObamaCare and RomnetCare are Socialized Medicine.
