I remember how awesome John Roberts handled himself in the confirmation hearings and I would still recommend watching them as they were quite informative, most especially on how to handle ultrapartisan hack democrats, but with Roberts apparently flipping his vote while Kennedy — the usual swing voter on the court — actually voted to FULLY overturn the Affordable Health Care Act (AKA this Obamacare monstrosity), nobody could’ve predicted this bizarre and disastrous outcome! Nobody saw this one coming!! Most were predicting that at least the mandate would be thrown out, that is the act forcing you to go out and buy something (insurance) just for being alive – this is not a power the federal government is supposed to have (the US Constitution provides for a limited federal government, with limited types of taxes that it can levy even).
We knew what the political hacks masquerading as judges were going to do, like the fringe ACLU hag, Baby Ruth Vader Ginsburg, the 2 Obammunist hacks that Obama appointed (Elena Kagan, Sonya Sotomayor) and the other rogue judicial appointee, Stephen Breyer. But for John Roberts to have joined the 4 rogue justices in upholding this debacle as a tax which will forever change the relationship between the federal government and the citizen (the Fed is as powerful as your State government, e.g. the State forcing you to buy car insurance) shows he may wind up being another Souter. Ann Coulter may have got it right back in ’05 when she referred to him as a “Souter in Roberts’ Clothing…”
What an unbelievable, horrifying disaster/debacle! And Anthony Kennedy was willing to save the day by completely declaring the law unconstitutional, but Roberts wanted to be a hero to the democrats for whatever reasons – if it’s true that he allowed political pressure to influence his decision at the last minute, then he is no better than the freaks like Ginsburg (really, she’s so loathsome, the most radical, far-left cultural-marxist ideologue to sit on the court, just doesn’t belong there, period)! You’re supposed to fight for the Constitution, NOT for the radical ideology of power-hungry democrats who look upon it as outdated and too-limiting when they’re not pretending to support it! This disgusting president has been overtly intimidating this court (see: the Citizens United case), just like FDR did decades ago, (threatening it with “court-packing”) and that’s exactly the kind of thing it’s supposed to be protected from so that it can make intellectually HONEST decisions, not pander to hostile mobs like the Occupiers or the NY Times (YEAH, they ARE a political mob of far left news-reporting hacks!)! Repeat, this is a DISASTER and A LOT was a stake here! A LOT! Shame on you, Roberts! Shame on you!!!!
I can’t wait for this horrifying presidency to be over! It really has been an Obamination! This cokehead neo-Marxist president has done so much irreversible damage to the country along with those 2 years when democrats had FULL control of the House and Senate with filibuster-proof majorities… He’s the most radical, partisan hack to be elected president in the history of the country, raised and influenced by radical Marxists/Socialists/Communists, in other words, the far-left freakshow! Two of his communist friends were domestic terrorists (of the Weather Underground group) that bombed the country! He would not have won were it not for all the corrupt democrat hacks in the media covering for him, ridiculously presenting him as a centrist, a “post-partisan” unifier, etc and using Bush’s later unpopularity… Who the fuck were they kidding? What a nightmare, please let it end come next election!
In summarizing Obamacare:
Let me get this straight Were going to be gifted with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we dont, which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesnt understand it, passed by a Congress that didnt read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President who smokes (and was once a cokehead), with funding administered by a treasury chief who didnt pay his taxes, for which well be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country thats broke!!!!!
But it’s all gonna work out cause 57 States Obama (dumb as a box of rocks when without a teleprompter) knows what the fuck he’s doing, right ??
Good/Decent article(s):
- NAPOLITANO: Roberts unleashes vast federal power – (Basis for high court ruling not found in the Constitution)
- I Am Barack Obama’s Worst Nightmare – DAMN RIGHT! Quote: “I am a thinking, educated, intelligent, independent voter. … But the most significant thing that makes Barack Obama view me as his worst nightmare is simply this: I tell the truth about him. I don’t need to lie. I don’t need to “create” a narrative. What he has done all by himself is so appalling that any need for embellishment is stillborn.”
- The Constitutionality of the ObamaCare Tax
- If We Took the Constitution Seriously, Obama Would Be Impeached
- The Chief Justice Done Good – Although I find this notion questionable, but worth a look.
- Why I Walked Out on John Roberts – “The Monday-morning quarterbacking after the ObamaCare decision is that Roberts sought to preserve the reputation of the Court from partisan attacks by the left, and that he tried to please both the left and the right by rejecting the “commerce clause” argument but still upholding the legislation. From what I saw of him, I think that’s probably true. But Roberts’s decision saddled the nation with an execrable 2,700-page law that gives government control over nearly 20% of the economy, allows unlimited future taxation to control our behavior, and makes our dietary practices, sexual practices, and mental health the concern of federal bureaucrats in Washington. His decision may have pleased the country-club moderates, but I suspect that James Madison is rolling in his grave.”
- A Vast New Taxing Power – The last paragraph is nail on the head: “It is not our job,” the Chief Justice writes, “to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.” But the Court’s most important role is to protect liberty when the political branches exceed the Constitution’s bounds, not to bless their excesses in the interests of political or personal expediency or both. On one of the most consequential cases he will ever hear, Chief Justice Roberts failed this most basic responsibility.
