“Roberts took the opportunity to slap down the voting public, rightfully telling US that it is our responsibility to elect people that represent our views. He is 100% correct on this count.”
And his statements to that effect within the decision itself was the truly sweet part of this.”
As a Representative Republic with 3 equal branches of government that were designed to provide CHECKS AND BALANCES on each other, our Chief Justice failed to perform his duty. The Court’s only job is to protect the individual from an over reaching federal government that is LIMITED BY THE USSC!
If Chief Justice Roberts is correct that it is not the job of the court to protect individuals from the voting public, then we might as well disband the court completely.
He failed to perform his explicit duty and should be held accountable.
He failed to perform his explicit duty and should be held accountable.
Exactly. Roberts just made the Pontius Pilate move and abbregated authority of the SCOTUS to the legislative and executiive branches to tax anyone for any reason.
Great quotes on your homepage, BTW.
Agreed.
