WASHINGTON (AP) — When last we saw the chief justice of the United States on the bench, John Roberts was joining with the Supreme Court’s liberals in an unlikely lineup that upheld President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

know it upheld the law and that really is a shame, but what he did to the power pf the Commerce Clause was stunning.

Not this garbage again.. Mark Levin and other Constitutional scholars have explained in great detail how this ruling DID absolutely nothing to the Commerce Clause.

He revived the Hammer case which struck down child labor laws. That is huge! He totally shrunk that government power to use down the road.

LOL. Shrink "any" government power???? Thanks for the laugh!!

You really believe any gutless RINO will every go along with rolling back child labor laws, or any law?

The cold reality is that the ONLY way the government will every be rolled back in any meaningful way is through a total economic collapse.

Wheeee!

As I told Cov, I saw him in Port Clyde, ME in August. He was wearing all white and a little white hat. He also had a big black SUV and a bodyguard.

I don’t buy that theory at all!
Why would any SANE person take that risk?
If I were a SCJ, I would wield my power and my “legacy” be damned. I would follow the constitution and do what was lawful and correct!

Roberts does not deserve a pass in the least.

However, that said...the bill / law never should have existed in the first place to get before him to even have an opportunity to make this kind of a ruling. Pelosi, Reid, and Obama must be removed from power.

Did you read it? And why are you putting the word any in quotes as though I said that? I didn’t say “any.” I said “that” power, meaning the Commerce Clause. Mark Levin is no constitutional scholar and he is wrong. It struck down any regulation under THAT power that tries to regulate intrastate commerce when the person/corp to be regulated is not already in the stream of commerce, reviving Hammer. You and Levin are wrong.

One of the guys in the photo was identified by the NY Times as a big time gay activist. One of threads shortly after the ACA ruling had the information.

Look, I don’t like it, but it happened. We need more conservatives on that court, and that won’t happen if obama wins. Enough of the Roberts stuff. Get over it.
