“Bottom line? Roberts just rewarded those who denied Obama Care was a tax increase setting up a republic threatening precedent.”
I don’t see it that way - bottom line: the media didn’t do its job... so the chief justice did it for them.
This was a tax and the media tried once or twice to say so but believe the politicians (democrats) who said no it wasn’t. Now we clearly know why the economy has been so poor to recover - they raise taxes during a recession.
If you want to blame someone blame the media who got it wrong, and sold us a tax increase that looked like a healthcare.
Mark Levin should know better as well - I think he was surprised because he didn’t think of it - and face it Savage is as fanatical on the right as Schultz is on the left - so he talks about Roberts and his meds.....
This is perfect Romney - Obama will lose big in Nov because in essence he said “read my lips - this is not a tax”. If Romney doesn’t win I’m gettin in my boat and leaving for the next 4 years.
I agree completely.
ALL of the discussion leading up to the decision centered on the Commerce Clause. NO ONE was discussing the tax/penalty distinction. No one. Reminds me of the joke, If you call a 3 legged stool a chair, how many legs does a chair have? 4. Calling a stool a chair does not make it a chair.
What you say about the media is correct. What you say about hurting Obama in November is probably also correct.
Doesn’t change the fact that this ruling, on the issue of law, is awful. It is not the job of a Justice to set things in motion so that the media and the election ends up with just rewards by perverting the law. That’s a fabulists view and it’s ridiculous.
