“...had John Roberts not changed his mind”
***
Changed his mind? I think he was bribed or coerced.
Our first boy is still in diapers, and the older ones are girls. We used to refer to his boy part as his “member of congress” in recognition of the infamous Anthony Weiner.
Now we refer to it as his “chief justice”.
I don’t think Roberts was ever what we thought he was.
Changed his mind?
This decision was nothing short of brilliant for the constitution and a near death blow for liberals and socialists everywhere..
How, you ask?
First, set aside the emotions, shut off the a.m. radio for a moment and put on your thinking cap. Think about how the libs have been pushing through their programs for over 80 years.
When the supreme court issues a ruling, there are 2 opinions written, the majority and the minority. Both opinions carry weight.
The majority opinion carries the majority of the weight, with the minority opinion carrying little weight, but carrying weight nontheless. The minority opinion can and has been used as a kind of “back door” for judicial activism for decades now.
The libs use 3 main “sledgehammers” to pass and keep passing their agenda.
Roberts took all 3 away.
He stated that the commerce clause cannot be used to create commerce in order to regulate it ( the most favorite tactic of the left )..
Now the brilliant part.. the minority opinion CONCURS!!!
back door closed, sledgehammer taken away....
Roberts ruled that the Necessary and General clause cannot be used to create any damn social program that comes along ( his ruling was way more wordy than this, but this is the general idea )..
And the minority opinion CONCURS!!!
back door closed, sledgehammer taken away....
and now I have saved the best for last (and this one is already being used)
Roberts ruled that the feds can no longer issue mandates to the states with financial penalties for non compliance. In other words, unfunded mandates by the feds to the states cannot happen.
and the minority opinion CONCURS!!!
back door closed, sledgehammer taken away.
I have heard of alot of people saying that Roberts is a traitor to the conservative movement. Roberts is not a conservative. He is a Federalist. He is a member of the Federalist society. He believes in the constitution.
This ruling restored more to the constitution than any other ruling in the past 80 years.
It has effectively destroyed the entire battle plan of the socialists in one big bold swoop.
and the minority opinion concurs....
Had Roberts gone with the other side, the minority opinion would more than likely have been written by that old bag ginsberg, and the libs battle plan could go on uninterupped....
My guess is that the libs were so desperate to keep this thing that they were willing to do ANYTHING...
Roberts saw the opportunity and took it.
He hoodwinked the crap out of the socialists..
How do I know this?
Find and listen to that old bag ginsbergs comments after the ruling..
She was angry as hell, her voice dripping with both sarcasm and disgust..
That is enough proof for me that not only is this what happened, but that she knows the jig is up..
