How beneath the dignity of the office and the oath you swore.

Nothing is below the office of a statist when it comes to expanding the power of their god: the state. oaths mean nothing to these sort, who twist and turn all to the advantage of their dark, implacable god.

Good article. I wonder if he is going to have the courage to follow up on this article with a realistic “so what do we do now?” Because anyone who looks at the totality of the situation we face is going to recognize that we’re the suckers at a game of political 3 card monte.

indeed, the winds are even now carrying the sounds of combat to us... soon the drums will stop and the singing begin, after that the bleeding and dying.

Enabling Tyranny Act Tyranny Sustainment Act.

that way it has the abbreviation TSA, and anyone questioning it's existence can be conveniently thought of as questioning the Transport Security Agency and therefore dismissed out of hand as being against the security of the nation.

He joins a long list of respected Americans who do not buy into “John Roberts’ the Chess Playing Genius”.

Yes, in Chess the strategy of "I'm going to sacrifice my king to..." is ill advised.

That is the message and voters must react by destroying the socialist machine that created the abominable debacle.

And the machine responds by offering a false sense of release: romney.

The weak minded women of America must become accountable for themselves. Unions must be defanged. Unfortunately, there is little hope for black voter change.

Agreed. // Careful, you're starting to sound like a misogynistic MRA! ;)

Never the less, voters will prevail and enable legislators to destroy the abomination and start anew.

That may require bloodshed; those in power are disinclined to give it up.

We’ll soon know if Romney is up to the task.

Oh come on, we have people here on FR saying that it's a good thing he's a 'windsock' and will do whatever political winds blow. (Others say he's a puppet, like Obama.)
I'm betting he's a windsock-puppet.

If the anti-injunction act applies, the suit is out of order and should NOT have been decided! The "wise Latina" admitted as much, but still choose to rule while also calling it a tax!

This is just as consistent as declaring the mandate cannot regulate non-activity (non-commerce) but a tax can (a tax on things not bought).

Roberts thinks he is Smarter than everyone. That’s the whole problem with judicial activism and statism.

1 guy/gal/king/queen making decisions for 300,000,000 people doesn’t have their interests at heart. Only free citizens have that.

Weird SCOTUS decision.

If I had to put money on it, I’d be betting the same way as you. The tragedy in 2012 is all that conservatives have to cling to is a faint hope that Romney will deny his liberal entire past and actually govern as a conservative. Not much to look forward to, but the GOP machine completely outsmarted the Tea Party in the primaries. You’re left with a choice between a 100% liberal hack and a 65% liberal hack. Sad.

Wow, you put Obama at only 65% liberal hack? You're generous! ;)
