Original Message It was asked that I repost this as a new thread... as this was my response in another, and people are saying it should be a thread by itself...

This is going to have long term implications on American Politics, and the Chief Justice's words are going to be looked at, and examined by historians many years on down the road... and we, today, may not fully understand his words for many years...

John Roberts, just redefined the game of Political Chess...


Thread: Help on meaning of "mandate is a tax, therefore legal"?!?!
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

John Roberts.

Declared that ObamaCare is Unconstititutional under the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution.

The President, and his supporters did not want this decision.

John Roberts then delcared... specifically the "Individual Mandate" clause within ObamaCare, IS Constitutional, under the TAXATION Clause of the United States Constitution.

This is very important, and Chief Justice Robert's words are going to go down in history. What he said basically identifies the "Individual Mandate" as being the Financial Arm of the entire ObamaCare plan; and passed the "buck" back into the Republican side of the Aisle.

How did he do this?

Chief Justice Roberts is a republican Justice, who just sided with the Liberal Justices on this matter! This is a very important message to the Republican Party, in that they can no longer put "political matters" on HIS bench, and expect the Supreme Court to settle those matters for them.

At the same time, John Roberts, declaring that the Individual Mandate is legal under the TAXATION clause of the Constitution, the exact thing that Obama did NOT want to happen...

Just handed the White House to Mit Romney.

How and why?

Because for the past 2 - 3 years, Obama and his supporters have stated .. "This is not a Tax!" Why have they said this? If it were a tax, then it would make Obama the single greatest Tax HIKER, in all of American history, and NO President wants to be known as that!

The Supreme Court just said it IS a tax because it can only stand, constitutionally, under the Tax Clause of the Constitution.

Basically, you have a game of chess.

On one side of the board you have Obama.

On the other side you have Romney.

They two are playing a dangerous game of Chess, each moving their pieces and so on.

But now in steps John Roberts, the CHIEF Justice, of the Supreme Court! The final authority of the Supreme Court, the Senior HEAD of the Judiciary Branch of Government!

He just smacked a NEW piece down onto that chess board, a piece that no one has ever seen before.

This new piece, completely changes the entire game, completely redefines it in ways we will not understand for several more years down the road.

But the fact remains.

This new piece is ON THE BOARD.

By declaring ObamaCare legal under the Taxation Clause.

He personally just opened the door to a world of possibilities.

1. Republicans CAN repeal ObamaCare if they gain a Majority in the Senate, and they can do this with ONLY a 51 majority Vote and because it is a Tax - ITS REPEAL CAN'T BE FILIBUSTERED by the Dems!

2. As a Tax, The Catholic Church can now SUE over the contraception clause, because it is ILLEGAL for a THIRD PARTY to pay a tax FOR you!

3. The Republican's, and Romney specifically, can now destroy Obama with the 3+ years of public soundbites of Obama and Co. repeatedly stating "This is not a Tax!"


John Roberts just changed the entire direction of the Election.

You guys still don't get it.

The CHIEF JUSTICE of the United States Supreme Court...

Just declared President Barack Obama as the single greatest TAX INCREASER in all of American History.

If this mandate is a Tax, this means no other President before Obama has ever increased Taxes to the extent that this does and Obama his just pushed the greatest Tax Increase in all of U.S. History!

Of course Obama is going to stand there in the Rose Garden, smile and wave and say he supports the Courts decision, why would he admit this is a defeat for him when he can spin it to try to make himself look good?

Fact is, this is a VERY UGLY stain on Obama's record, and what President would want that on their record?

This fact alone may have just handed the White House over to Romney.

I was just listening to the news on the radio here in Atlanta; a city that is mostly Democrat controlled. They were at the Varsity (the worlds largest fast food drive thru) interviewing people there, many of whom were saying.. "I wasn't going to vote, but now I'm going to go vote for Romney!"

The fact that this is a Tax has opened peoples eyes!
