Before you look to do harm to Chief Justice Roberts or his family, it’s important that you think carefully about the meaning – the true nature — of his ruling on Obama-care. The Left will shout that they won, that Obama-care was upheld and all the rest. Let them.
It will be a short-lived celebration.
Here’s what really occurred — payback. Yes, payback for Obama’s numerous, ill-advised and childish insults directed toward SCOTUS.
Chief Justice Roberts actually ruled the mandate, relative to the commerce clause, was unconstitutional. That’s how the Democrats got Obama-care going in the first place. This is critical. His ruling means Congress can’t compel American citizens to purchase anything. Ever. The notion is now officially and forever, unconstitutional. As it should be.
Next, he stated that, because Congress doesn’t have the ability to mandate, it must, to fund Obama-care, rely on its power to tax. Therefore, the mechanism that funds Obama-care is a tax. This is also critical. Recall back during the initial Obama-care battles, the Democrats called it a penalty, Republicans called it a tax. Democrats consistently soft sold it as a penalty. It went to vote as a penalty. Obama declared endlessly, that it was not a tax, it was a penalty. But when the Democrats argued in front of the Supreme Court, they said ‘hey, a penalty or a tax, either way’. So, Roberts gave them a tax. It is now the official law of the land — beyond word-play and silly shenanigans. Obama-care is funded by tax dollars. Democrats now must defend a tax increase to justify the Obama-care law.
Finally, he struck down as unconstitutional, the Obama-care idea that the federal government can bully states into complying by yanking their existing medicaid funding. Liberals, through Obama-care, basically said to the states — ‘comply with Obama-care or we will stop existing funding.’ Roberts ruled that is a no-no. If a state takes the money, fine, the Feds can tell the state how to run a program, but if the state refuses money, the federal government can’t penalize the state by yanking other funding. Therefore, a state can decline to participate in Obama-care without penalty. This is obviously a serious problem. Are we going to have 10, 12, 25 states not participating in “national” health-care? Suddenly, it’s not national, is it?
Ultimately, Roberts supported states rights by limiting the federal government’s coercive abilities. He ruled that the government can not force the people to purchase products or services under the commerce clause and he forced liberals to have to come clean and admit that Obama-care is funded by tax increases.
Although he didn’t guarantee Romney a win, he certainly did more than his part and should be applauded.
And he did this without creating a civil war or having bricks thrown threw his windshield. Oh, and he’ll be home in time for dinner.
Brilliant.
It’s a judicial travesty to rival Dredd Scott.
At least he didn’t write “Judge Dredd Scott”. That’s something.

Like the h0m0sexual child that he is
Is this like Voldemort or Gozer, where if they spell homosexual right one will appear and destroy them?
Great wrap-up, Tommy. What a clusterfuck.
A.
Thanks for wading through the sewer for us, Tommy. You just proved that hysteria can be hilarious.
Thanks, guys.
(LOLed at “Judge Dred Scott”)

Man, I’ve been waiting for this one all week.
How sad is it that one of my first thoughts on hearing the decision was “Oh man, TTOwTF is going to be epic this week!”
Epic indeed.
“I don’t think I can stand hearing the term “ObamaCare” the rest of my life.”
I’m sure said freeptard has the firearms on hand to cut short the agony.
C’mon, c’mon, freepers…Dubya was a closet dhimmorat, so BOTH Roberts and Alito need to be impeached PDQ!
Anyone for infiltrating the TeaTards 4th of July rallies with “IMPEACH ROBERTS” signs? Bet it only takes 3-4 people to be over 25% of the crowd, since half of the ‘Tards will be guarding the porta-potties from commie ‘insurgents’.
Man, that was awesome. So much exquisite weeping and wailing.
Thank you for bringing us this joy, Tommy. 🙂
Thank you TommyT! And thanks to Chief Justice John Roberts! HA!
Those salty tears of betrayal taste yummy! Thanks Tommy T!
Oh, and the Freepathon is back. I’m betting this one ends before the next one starts–but not by a lot.

“I think the best part of the whole day was all those wingnuts and teabaggers glued to Fox (“just the facts”) News, thinking they’d won. I wonder how long it took for it to dawn on them?”
According to the timestamps, about two minutes.
But for those two minutes, Jesus loved them, this they knew.
(before the truth came crashing through)

Wow, hope you had a good hazmat suit and double-gloved for that. What scares me is that these are real people out there, filled with so much hate that it is amazing it doesn’t suffocate them.
(LOL “Judge Dredd Scott”)
The world can go to shit, but Freepers will die smiling if they think they’ve won.
The Freetards are in death cult, fueled by hate and fear and lies.
