‘Court is not a legislature’: Roberts rips gay marriage ruling, day after he backed ObamaCare
Fox News ^ | 6/26/15 | staff

A day after Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts sided squarely with the Obama administration on the health care overhaul, the same jurist came out swinging against the court´s ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. In his dissenting opinion -- which he read from the bench for the first time in his nearly 10 years as chief justice -- Roberts charged Friday that the court had no right to intervene in what should be a democratic debate by the people, at the state level, over same-sex marriage. "This court is not a legislature," he wrote. "Whether same-sex marriage is a good idea should

Time for all conservatives to set their w4 deductions to 20.

Good strategy. But that will just be declared "unconstitutional" by committee.

Yeah, on the flipside, by executive order,
Obama could order ALL your wages withheld and a committee will determine how much to send you per month to cover your “needs”, as they determine it,

and the court would uphold it.

What MrB said. This is a good way to starve the beast.

I have no doubt that we are in for a horrific judgement within the year, mostly economic. Paying our taxes will be the least of our worries, so get out of the system while the gettin's good.

He is clearly schizophrenic.

That is grounds to have him removed form the bench.

Now since the Supremes have said that the States can not restrict marriage, the states should absolve themselves of licensing requirements. Then see the who process fall flat. Who will issue the certificates of marriage then?

Roberts seems to be a pathetic small-minded self-centered hypocritical man, doesn’t he?

For some reason, he's still not ready to admit he's a sodomite.

What good, exactly, will that do? Just curious.

No withholding of Federal or state taxes from your paycheck. . . and then simply don't pay any taxes on April 15th. REFUSE TO FEED THE BEAST! STARVE IT!

Well, certainly you’ll have to pay in April,

Why? Our system of Income tax is "VOLUNTARY," supposedly not coercive. We give it to them without them seizing it. Make them come and get it from all of us. We outnumber them.

Roberts you are a real jackass! How could you be so stupid to think that the word States is really Federal. That is a damn rotten piece of brain power. I’m pissed.

Yeah, maybe that’s his signal that he didn’t believe what he wrote on the Obamacare decision, he was under duress.

He knew it was going to pass so he throws out a bone. He is the poorest excuse for a Chief Justice in the past half century. He obviously lacks a set of principles to guide his decisions. Heck of a joke you and Oren Hatch pulled on this nation, W.
