Yes, I was going to post the same...The Stamp Act.

How long before they Stamp the palm or forehead? “Approved healthy”.

And dwell on how many like Roberts and the rest, minds are operating in same manner.

But wait until 26 States sue the Federal Government for TAXING people for not doing anything (since the 'penalty' has been deemed a 'tax')

Today's ruling was based on a lawsuit that 0bamacare violates the commerce clause, so.. Another multi-state lawsuit should be forthcoming which sues the Feds for TAXING inactivity.

Since Roberts redefined 0bamacare, 26 States will simply have to redefine their lawsuit. Makes sense, right?

Roberts says

“The Affordable Care Act’s requirement that certain individuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance may reasonably be characterized as a tax’

“May reasonably be characterized” means he was stretching the truth.

Not only that, but the word “tax” was kept out of the Legislation because it wouldn't have passed the Senate. So the Supreme Court just decides to put the “tax” back in that was never there? So now the SC writes law?

What Roberts has done is reined in the 'Commerce clause' which has been stretched beyond recognition,

He could have done that by voting with the four dissenters and killing ObamaCare dead!!!

It’s ‘Robertscare’ now. He bought it. He owns it.

You are unhinged, really.

Who is your back up genius?

3rd party?

You do yourself and your small faction of misguided fools, no favors. Clear thinking people KNOW there is no choice.

Now, keep yapping and beating that damn drum you carry around your neck. I for one will continue to point out that your comments don’t do a damn thing to change WHAT IS.

The house has burnt down and instead of standing there pointing fingers, get busy rebuilding the house or get out of the freakin way.

I’m SICK TO DEATH of you anti-Romney small minded slugs.

GIVE US A SOLUTION if this is such a non-starter for you guys.

I will NEVER comment to you again, it’s you and your type that incite those of us who deal in REALITY.

Another colossal W Bush F-up.


Quit blaming Bush! You people sound just like liberals. “Waaa,,,everything is Bush’s fault,,,waaa!” News flash,,,the best Bush could do was appoint someone who he thought would ALWAYS vote conservative. The SC does things to appointees. Solidly conservative appointees may turn liberal. Solidly liberal appointees may turn more conservative. They have minds of their own. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE how they will be once they are on the court. So quit your liberal “it’s all Bush’s fault” imitations and put the blame where it belongs,,,,ON ROBERTS!!!

Hopefully it will not take nine years for us to take action this time. Enough is enough!

Stop sticking up for Bush. He was supposed to be our conservative friend, but he is just another state control freak. The Patriot Act is anything but. It’s not liberal to just point out his failings. He suckered most conservative in.

Now how do we get rid of the POS Roberts as well as the CLEARLY-TO-ANYONE-WITH-TWO-BRAIN-CELLS unconstitutional Obamacare?

Can Roberts be recalled/impeached? Appointed for life? The answer is here somewhere.

Hopefully November will be kind to us.

Emperor John proclaims a believe in the despotism of democracy.

The great irony being the Forefathers told us that the Constitution was meant to prevent such “democratic choices” from robing people of their reserved rights. Now that Constitution is dead thanks to John. The fate of the associated Obamacare is thus now irrelevant, as the formerly free people who were threatened by it are now also threaten bt a thousand other potential evils even greater.

The house is indeed burnt down but in your hast to rebuild you seem to have overlooked the fact that the foundation upon which it once stood is similarly destroyed.

John Roberts saw to that by declaring such a tax power to exist. We can repeal Obamacare but something else will just as quickly pop up using the same power.

The only way forward is revolution. A new foundation in liberty must be layed, perhaps on he cleared out runes of this empire, perhaps elsewhere.

To put this in English: The Federal Government(as it exist under Roberts) must be abolished and either abandoned or completely rebuilt.

Remember that "Doomday Clock" that the the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists used as an analogy for the threat of nuclear war? Someone needs to start up a "Civil War" clock. This Obamacare ruling moves it a tick closer to midnight.

My haste? Really?!

Let me try it this way -
working in my community to wake people up to all that has
crumbled, we succeeded in getting a flipping 10% of our township to vote for a new mayor. Needless to say, the
thief was re-elected. We had more success with our conservative Congress choices.

Now, please inform me how you intend to get people inspired to burn down everything and trust that your vision of rebuilding is something they are willing to risk themselves over?

We can all rant and rave and yap about CWII and all that nonsense, the truth of the matter is you are no more capable of creating that reality than I am.

Yes the foundation is rotten to the core, but with decent people who ARE willing to dig in and lay a new brick, the foundation can be rebuilt.

I would respect you far more if you didn’t attempt to talk to me as if I had no clue as to how dire this situation is,
I am fully informed and choose to face the reality as it stands.

The words of constitutional genius Roberts:

"a general reticence to invalidate the acts of the nation's elected leaders."

Really -- the Courts have been doing it for 200 years -- why now and why this???

"It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices," he wrote.

It certainly is. Have you checked out your job description lately or the Constitution that you took an oath to defend or are you experiencing early dementia or Benedict Arnold complex???

Congress has always had the power of taxation, that was nothing new.

Is Congress' power to tax really unlimited? For example, if Congress passed a $10,000 per-gun, per-year tax on firearm ownership (effectively making gun ownership impossible for a majority of the citizenry) would that be a legitimate tax function of the Congress or a violation of the Second Amendment?

Unlimited Power to Force You to Buy What They Want You to Buy

They’ve been doing that for decades.

You think I want to buy food, housing, legal help, etc. for millions of people SCAMMING the welfare system with duplicate names, addresses, etc., many of them not even legal residents?

You think I want to send millions to totalitarians and tribalists across the globe?

You think I want to send untold billions to crony capitalists?

This is nothing new. And it sucks.

I suppose this November is when we find out how many Americans still value freedom.

Do not doubt that the next thing they will come for is your savings, if you have any.

They are already bankrupt.

Since they can now tax ANYTHING, your 401Ks, IRAs, etc. will be the next target. They need the money to pay for the welfare state, and buy votes.

You will be told that not only are you too stupid to decide what kind or type of medical insurance you need, you are also too stupid to invest your own savings. The government will force you to convert your savings to a government annuity, for your own financial “safety”, of course. Or, if you don’t, you will be charged a “penalty” or a “tax” for not complying.

And your principle will be put into a “lock box” just like your social security payments were (LOL,,r-i-g-h-t), to be rolled into the general fund to pay for Obamacare, and other vote buying schemes.

They’ve already had comittees recommend doing this. SCOTUS just green-lighted the effort for the progressives.

The coming election may well be one of our last chances to stem the progressive tide.

Vote like your future depends on it, because it truly does.

Very few, I'm afraid....they are more into "Gimme Gimme Gimme!"
