Why is this pig smiling?
Because of John Benedict Arnold Roberts.
As I have posed several times here about Robert’s decision:
Before I join any group and dump all over Roberts, I think I will wait and see how this plays out as we approach the elections. I just have a gut feeling that Roberts is playing a back game and his naysayers will be caught with their embarrassment showing. I think, in the end, Roberts will be exonerated.
I could be wrong, but for now I will just wait this one out before condemning him.
Mark Levin SHREDDED this line of thought today. I am going with Mark. Roberts ruled based on politics not on Constitutionality. He is a traitor, IMO!
If a study of world history reveals anything at all, it’s that those power-hungry souls who are attracted to government work will gradually accrue more and more power to themselves until a dictatorship/oligarchy by a governing elite becomes inevitable.
The Founding Fathers did their level best to take that into account and design a “fool proof” republic. Alas, clearly they failed.

Bullshit. Roberts, in an attempt to de-politicize his court in the public opinion, cemented himself as an activist judge with the most political decision of the century.

F*** that, we were screwed over...can’t you feel it?
Please do not try to tell me this is good in any way shape or form...I am not stupid. I have come to the sad realization that our country is already gone. I can not see one iota of difference any more between the two parties...one just talks a good game. How many times do we get stabbed in the back before we wake up to the truth. The elites have taken over, and they play a game with us to make us believe they care about the country and constitution. It is a lie.
This tripe could have been called:
The Case for Elena Kagan
The Case for Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The Case for The Wise Latina
Because Roberts voted with these people.
All I know right now is this. He sold us out. He sold the country out. I hope he proves me wrong someday.
You might say that Roberts laid a fork in the road. One route leads to destruction, the other leads to survival. He just might wink at us after November 6, if not, we deserve the Hell we have created..
Why are they circling the wagons around Roberts trying to make the same kind of subversive judgements made from the court in the past into something that it isn’t. We should just be proud it was a conservative doing it instead of a liberal??
Thomas Jefferson said Roberts is wrong in his dissent on the Bank of the United States. In it he said that the general powers must be construed so that they give meaning to the rest of the document, otherwise there would be no purpose for enumerated powers, and the 10th amendment would have no meaning. The government cannot just tax for the heck of it. It taxes to pay the debts which can only be incurred by exercising enumerated powers. It means that if ObamaCare is an invalid exercise under the commerce power there are no debts that can be legally incurred by it or a tax imposed for which to pay them.
Another republican elitist providing cover for Roberts and telling conseratives to bite down hard on the yummy s*#t sandwich offered up.
Congress may also “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States.” U. S. Const., Art. I, §8, cl. 1. Put simply, Congress may tax and spend.
This grant gives the Federal Government considerable influence even in areas where it cannot directly regulate. The Federal Government may enact a tax on an activity that it cannot authorize, forbid, or otherwise control.
Justice Roberts

*IF* Roberts was trying to be clever and achieve for constitutionalists everywhere a pyrrhic victory, then after he had a discussion with one or more of {Alito, Thomas, Scalia... even Kennedy}, his superior intellect and conniving for the rule of law would have brought a conservative(s) over to his side of {breyer, old-hag, wise-latina, commiecare-cheerleader}. By going by himself, with no other conservative, to join the leftists that would vote YES no matter what, he shows his true statist tendencies.
I hate to burst any bubbles but no matter what happens in November, CommieCare is here to stay. It is a done deal because the “Chief Justice” played politics from the SCOTUS bench.
This is great. We now have 3 Card Monte as established Supreme Court precedent. Congress will never pass another tax increase again. Anything remotely close to being a tax will be declared a regulation and passed pursuant to the Commerce Clause. The courts will then reinterpret such ‘regulations’ as they see fit and declare them taxes to the extent they don’t pass muster under the Commerce Clause.
Not one that would make sense.
