The court is corrupt. The fed govt has the power to tax. Nowhere in the Constitution does it have the power to force the individual to buy a product or service or tax the individual for not doing something that is mandted. The collection of income tax required an amendment to the constitution, the collection of tax as a condition of not buying a private product from a private company does not? The Constitution is dead. That is not correct. Income taxes were collected 50 years prior to the ratification of the 16th Amendment. The 16th merely removed the requirement for income taxes to be apportioned to the states based on population. |

Quoted:
The fact that the POTUS has Handed put over 1200 waivers to individual companies exempting them from federal law and nobody does anything about it shows how corrupt the government is. An excellent point that the republicans should use to crush the law and repeal it. this is a hugely unpopular law already and as the facts come out about it it will become more unpopular. Robert's reasoned correctly, its not the court's job to save us from ourselves. Its the largest tax increase on the middle class since the 1960s. If the republicans can't do anything with these facts, than the american people get what they deserve. A nominally apolitcal judicial system is a critical component to our government. bunch of fucking liberals at times. "save us unelected judges! Hand down to us that which we need for democracy is tiresome and difficult." |

This has been incredibly interesting. I hope the House does move to overturn to get a last vote on taxes before the election. Even if the law is overturned, we can't overturn the expansion of the taxing authority. Give it time. All it's going to take is for the Republicans to introduce a bill taxing some inactivity that will make the left collectively shit their pants and the court will fix that right up. This thing isn't over by a long shot. I think so too. This is a sticky situation for sure. |

Romney should ask for his resignation if he gets elected. If romney gets elected, it will be partly because of how Roberts handled this. You don't like the law? Vote for Romney. Send money to local republicans. Fight to reclaim your state. Christie has done great service for republicans in jersey. capitilze that into senatorial seats. |

"Some informed observers outside the Court flatly reject the idea that Roberts buckled to liberal pressure, or was stared down by the President. They instead believe that Roberts realized the historical consequences of a ruling striking down the landmark health care law. There was no doctrinal background for the Court to fall back on - nothing in prior Supreme Court cases - to say the individual mandate crossed a constitutional line. "
How bout that the fucking law is just plain unconstitutional, or that the Constitution has been so bastardized by bad decisions refering to existing case law is folley in and of itself. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: But Roberts pays attention to media coverage. As Chief Justice, he is keenly aware of his leadership role on the Court, and he also is sensitive to how the Court is perceived by the public. There were countless news articles in May warning of damage to the Court - and to Roberts' reputation - if the Court were to strike down the mandate. Leading politicians, including the President himself, had expressed confidence the mandate would be upheld. if he buckled to media coverage he has absolutely no business being the chief justice on the supreme court, fucking weakling I read the entire article and agree with this assesment. Absolutely. He was influenced, one way or the other, by elements that have no business having any say in the matter. The man has displayed bad, no, terrible judgement and for that he should be removed from the court. |

That is not correct. Income taxes for collected 50 years prior to the ratification of the 16th Amendment. The 16th merely removed the requirement for income taxes to be apportioned to the states based on population. Yes, you are right. My mistake for not being clear. The exemption for direct taxes to be appoitioned to the states based on population is only valid for income taxes due to the 16th. The direct tax on the individual from obamacare is not exeempt. 16th. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration .
Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers...[1]
The Congress shall have Power to 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; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.
No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken .
This is obviously a direct tax on the individual by the federal govt and is not an income tax, and therefore must be returned to the states by population. It is also no uniform, since the executive office as given over 1200 indvidual company waivers to the federal law. Shw me where the POTUS can grant individual waivers to federal law. |

He betrayed the Constitution so that his pals at the country club would smile and say nice things to him. Insulated against the masses who will suffer from his terrible decision, he will enjoy his privileged life. Many can wail and grind their teeth, but the time has come that apart from many serving in our armed services, standing up for the beliefs that this country stood for and sacrificing for it, has become a rarity.
Roberts is just another common man, who was at the right places at the right time, to serve himself. |

Which Justice was it that had their vacation bungalow robbed not too long ago?

You don't have to coerce the willing. I can't help but think he was waiting for something his whole career. IMO, now that he has unmasked, he will be a reliable vote for the left side of the aisle. Scary to think of that from here on out, the court may very well be shifted to the left. Something to think about for any future 2A cases that make their way to the SCOTUS. Also downright frightening to think that Zero (if he gets a second term, will be able to really stack the court). The reason Heller was a 5/4 win is because they were scared of the backlash if they ruled the other way. |

What an asshole... Roberts is even more contemptible to me than Sotomayor or Kagan, at least those two stick to their statist convictions. Notice how the leftist judges never break ranks or "evolve" their positions. Always just the "conservative" ones. They only "evolve" them if to get elected - or selected in the case of a judge - if they had to lie about a conservative belief to get to their position of power. See 0bama's "evolution" of his definition of marriage. |

That makes this all the more interesting. I really want to know what happened to make Roberts change his opinion and violate the very beliefs he has espoused up to this point.

Quoted:
Sotamayor and Kegan immediately informed Team Obama (Valerie Jarrett & her worker's party handler) that the socialist NHS had been defeated by SCOTUS. Remember, they were openly laughing at Obama's attorney during the oral arguments, as broadcast on radio for the whole Nation to hear. This was when Team Obama was switching back and forth on calling the Law a Tax, versus not a Tax. Do you think it's coincidence that Roberts made sure it was called a Tax in his written decision? Where do you suppose the pressure came from? And why was Elena Kagan allowed to even include herself on this vote, since she helped advise the WH on the fricken thing? It's like FDR all over again. Racist justices appointed to rubber-stamp an international worker's party pile of oppressive, anti-Ameican crap, and even that didn't work, so they strong-armed Roberts somehow. Isn't Roberts the one who swore Obama in, but the ceremony didn't follow protocol, so they assured us it was done in the WH out of view? If Kagan recused herself and Roberts voted to uphold, the Court would be tied. Do you know what happens when the Court is tied? |

That's another thing: Once a Supreme Court justice is confirmed, he's in the job for life unless he dies or is declared mentally incompetent.
That needs to change. They need to be restricted to set terms of office, possibly even with term limits, and be subject to recall by a 2/3 majority vote of Congress. This could require a Constitutional amendment. CJ |

My fear is that as time goes by, we are being out numbered by politcally ignorant people who really don't care what is going on.
