Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1768108 United States 01/03/2014 10:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Justice Roberts may not have sold us out, like it appears he did, but he may actually be rubbing our noses in it, like the owner of a puppy that just took a dump on the carpet. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1768108 January 2, 2014 The Roberts Trap Is Sprung By Bill Dunne One of the most overlooked aspects of the year just ended is the vindication of Chief Justice John Roberts -- a vindication that showed up as the national catastrophe known as ObamaCare got rolling. Roberts may have also doomed Hillary Clinton's chance to live in the White House again. The chief justice, an appointee of President George W. Bush and reputedly a constitutionalist in his jurisprudence, set his diabolical trap (diabolical to Democrats) on June 28, 2012, when he joined with the four liberal justices on the Supreme Court to uphold the constitutionality of ObamaCare. Conservatives and Republicans across the land were apoplectic. But in hindsight, it appears that Roberts actually saved the Republican Party from going into a death spiral and imperiled the Democrats instead. This suggests amazing foresight, but it wouldn't be the only instance.

This would not be happening if the law had been squelched in the cradle. People who ordinarily couldn't care less about wonky debates over federal power now see that the law has less to do with insuring the uninsured than with one political party's lunge for unprecedented power and control over people's lives."

The sheep must learn. :useful: The sheep have to learn that we can't just sit back and do nothing, and expect some Wise Old Men to keep saving our silly asses for us. We have to do the work and save our own asses. And our country. Citizenship is not a spectator sport. Maybe that's the lesson he wants us to learn. And obviously, the only way to learn that lesson is the hard way. |

Hearsay User ID: 52228829 United States 01/03/2014 11:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You never bought the product, how can one be responsible for it, much less a penalty. There would necessarily be a higher price to pay; like a signature or an actual agreement. At least a contract of sorts to work with... So, and why is the U.S. in Business to sell products they know nothing about, nor have any control of, and it seems like people are in more danger from a system that now just doesn't care. |

Roberts refuses: "Chief Justice John Roberts turned away without comment Monday an emergency stay request from the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons... They asked the chief justice Friday to temporarily block the law, saying Congress had passed it incorrectly by starting it in the Senate instead of the House." [link to www.theblaze.com] Damn Judas traitor. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |
