as a tax the law can be repealed using reconciliation.
Wow. Talk about a crystal ball...
This was the same guy who voted to uphold the 2nd amendment on a number of cases. It boggles the mind, this decision.
I think he became ‘belt-wayed’. The parties with the liberal washington in crowd. The brain washed spouse. And the promise of peace at home.
I hate DC
I miss Harriet Miers
All of which they consider sacraments
Thanks for posting. People need the reminder.
Wonder how it feels to be John Roberts? Maybe when he's older, he'll be shocked by the damage he did to the country by giving it the big shove over the edge towards totalitarian control.
Or maybe he'll just laugh at the fools who didn't realize that's who he was.
Yeah, I thought Roberts was a conservative, but then I thought Ann was one too.
Ann is wrong.
Ultimately, the decision keeps a stupid law in the political arena. The court’s job isn’t to overrule stupidity.
... It limits the gov’ts power under the commerce clause
... The gov’t already had the power to tax anything it wanted
... It frees the states to NOT participate in Obamacare without being penalized. This is a states rights issue.
In the short run, not good. In the long run, good.
Demoncrats said it wasn’t a tax, but a penalty. The court recognized it as a tax.
Political battles will be fought now about how much we want to pay in taxes.
Taxes can be revoked. This one will.
All told, not what I wanted in the short run, but is a good thing in the long run.
I suspect Roberts changed sides and wrote the opinion to limit federal power.
I have believed for several years that Souter was a stealth nominee chosen by GHWB: a stealth liberal nominee.
I sure didn't know anything about Roberts when he was nominated. Maybe father and son gave us one conservative and one stealth liberal, by design.
Either could have found two proven conservatives to nominate with little effort. My opinion of the Bushes continues to evolve, or devolve.
Roberts is a Statist, ‘Rat girly man.
Ann go back to dating Bill Maher and leave the important ideas to conservative’s, you no longer matter, get over your self.
Ann's conservative bona fides have been in some question [justifiably] for her unwavering support of Romney in the primaries, but she sure called this one. Had I read it when Roberts was nominated, I'd have probably thought her opinion overwrought and incorrect.
She ain't dumb.
Ann warned us. She, Alan Keyes, Howard Phillips, and most of us here were right.
IMPEACH ROBERTS!
Congress has the power to limit the Federal government’s jurisdiction. Can we pass a law defining the taxing power in such a way that Obamacare doesn’t qualify?
BTW, the Constitution only empowers the Federal government to collect certain types of taxes. Obamacare isn’t any of those types. So even if Roberts is right (which he isn’t), he’s still wrong.
Earl Warren, William Brennan, Harry Blackmun, John Paul Stevens, David Souter, John Roberts — the kind of Constitutionally deficient, totally integrity-free judges RINO Presidents ALWAYS give us — you know, RINOs like Nixon, the Bushes, and Governor Etch-a-Sketch, the godfather of Obamacare, whose advisors helped write it.
