How many "victories" did the American people have with the decisions made by Barry's court last week? My count is ZERO. Barry and his 'RATS were the big winners. Nobody expected the court to change the language in ObamaCare in order for them to be able determine that it was "constitutional".

"...government of the people, by the people, for the people..." my ass.

I have to disagree with you on that. I realize I am probably in the minority here, but I am beginning to appreciate more and more what Roberts has done. While I abhor judicial activism (and this is definitely a case of judicial activism), I am grateful that Roberts was able to pull Kennedy, Breyer and Kagan into the same camp with him, Alito, Thomas, and Scalia. Think about that. Seven out of nine Supreme Court Justices just ruled that Obamacare is not constitutional under the commerce clause and the necessary and proper clause.

Take note here, the Roberts court did NOT say that this ObamaTax was constitutional. In fact, they offered no opinion on its constitutionality, nor should they have since the tax has not yet taken effect.

Once it does, I can assure you that it will find its way back to the Supreme Court at which time Roberts will be first in line to rule against it. And best of all, a strong precedent has been established which substantially weakens the power of the commerce clause.

So for now, the ObamaTax reverts back to the political issue it should be. And the GOP gains of 2010 will be repeated in 2012 now that ObamaTax is back on the ballot.
