“WHERE IS THE LIMIT OF THIS POWER?”

The insidious tentacles of Roberts’ Rules can seep into our most basic rights - not just behaviors.

I don’t want to be a Methodist (no offense to Methodists), will I have to pay $10K to be a non-Methodist? Will we all have to pay $10K to be a non-atheist? You haven’t lost your freedom of religion so long as you can pay for it.
You name any God-given right, and this applies.

The government is now the mafia. All taxes have become protectionist monies.

Not only is there no limit to this taxing power, Roberts has made the Supreme Court superfluous if it no longer weighs on the constitutionality of a bill, and its only purpose is to find a way to legitimize anything Congress passes.

The only act Roberts Rules has declared unconstitutional is the Magna Carta.

You’re right. What you apparently don’t understand is that this is nothing new. Roberts just pointed this out. He didn’t make it so.
