Orin is so saccharine sweet. He just can’t bring himself to say an unkind word about anyone...golly, gee-whiz.
Too bad he won. I was so looking forward to not having to endure his sickening platitudes.

What will Justice Roberts have to do for Hatch not to have a high opinion of him?

Then you, sir, are part of the problem and not part of the solution.

Wrong. Roberst had the right to cast his vote to uphold the law. He had the right to assign to himself the writing of the opinion. But it is the decision that is the law; the opinion is just that. Just look at the gosh-awful thing that Earl Warren wrote in support of Brown I. Make no sense at all, if you look at the precedents. He simply created his own facts.

Hatch is happy about the ruling on the Commerce Clause? Why is he happy? It doesn’t matter! The mandate-and-tax power that Roberts has given the government is just as damaging a precedent - if not worse. And does Hatch agree with Roberts that the only way Arizona can secure its border is to secede from the United States? And does Hatch agree with Roberts that lying about military medals is protected freedom of speech? It wasn’t just one ruling that Roberts got horribly wrong. He’s a joke, but clueless Orrin Hatch doesn’t get it.
To: Olog-hai
But a higher opinion of himself.

Of course a Senator does not accept the enumerated powers the Constitution limits them to.
If it is not an enumerated power... 10th Amendment kicks in.
So easy even a caveman can do it... but not a Congressman or SCOTUS Justice.

Congress can now regulate anything you do, and tax anything you don't do.

Hatch said, I have a pretty high opinion of Chief Justice Roberts and I understand what hes done here.
Orin, you ignorant slut, maybe you can explain to us then --- but I ain't gonna hold my breath. The simple truth is, John Roberts came down on the wrong side of this critical decision and no amount of parsing, prattling or turd polishing will change that.

I don't know. I see them both as completely USELESS idiots myself.

Honestly now ...who in Congress would seriously say NO to an offer like that? Unless they respected and FEARED We the People?

As another FReeper said, "Hatch is part of the problem, not part of the answer".
He's a putrid piece of RINO-sh*t.

“
Naturally, I would have preferred him to rule out the individual mandate, Hatch said.”
Somehow I seriously doubt that.
