So, Roberts pulled a Roe v Wade on us witha ropa-dope but maybe we can make lemonade out of lemons. David Horowitz said this today.
"Politically speaking there couldn’t have been a better Supreme Court
decision. If Obamacare had been declared unconstitutional, the
Democrats’ campaign in November would have been those horrible
Republicans have politicized the Supreme Court and denied affordable
healthcare to everyone. The focus would be on the court’s “unfairness.”
The Democrats would have a plausible if unfair case (and in politics
lack of fairness is a given). Advantage Democrats. Advantage because the
last things they want to talk about are Obamacare and taxes. And that’s
the second big plus from this decision. The focus – thanks to Justice
Roberts – is going to be on the biggest tax increase in human history on
everyone, not just the rich. And on the lies of Obama which dwarf those
of Clinton. Obama promised no tax hikes on the middle class and then
defended Obamacare before the Supreme Court as …. a tax.
As for the constitutionalists. Roberts’ argument makes sense to me. Yes
the power to tax is the power to destroy, but it’s in the Constitution.
So this decision doesn’t really change anything constitutionally. If you
don’t like Obamacare, the remedy is to repeal it. Let the elections
begin."
So there it is. The election. If we want to save America we have to turn out the democrats and send Obama back to Al Capone's city. There is the dirty little secret I gleaned from the SCOTUS decision. They reigned in the Commerce Clause (but do we really trust that?) and let Obama and the democrats give us all, and I mean all, Americans, the largest tax increase in the history of the planet. So, all you giddy democrats and unaligned middle of the road purple people, guess what? You are going to get a huge bite ripped from your hands, you know, your hard earned buckos, and there is nothing you can do about it. Oh, maybe there is, get out and vote and toss the scofflaws out on their left cheeks never to be heard from again. Save America and vote this November.
Here is a way the Obamacare fiasco may end up.

Just read this from a former law clerk to Roberts. Maybe he is smarter than everyone thinks.
ReplyDelete"Making the mandate a tax has at least one other effect. It makes repeal easier. Now that the mandate has been deemed taxation, it can likely be jettisoned through use of the reconciliation process — meaning the Senate will need to muster only a bare majority for repeal, not 60 votes."

I was watching one of those comedy central "news" guys the other night before the ruling. ( forget just which one) Well,,, they had a picture of Roberts in the Gen. Lee jumping the capital dome, with his arm out the window flippin' the bird.
ReplyDeleteAs I see it,"F" U,, I'm out of here." that wasn't really all that far from the truth
