   Now that Roberts was the “swing” vote, will Republicans all now demand he “swing” for it???

   I heard that a lot of cartoonists do two cartoons when a big decision commes up. One FOR and one AGAINST so they can spring into action.

   What a great day for America — Roberts finally realized that partisan anti-Constitutional revisionism was destroying the legacy of his court, and he sided with the American people.

   Maybe, when health care legislation comes up again, Republicans will decide to participate, rather than obstruct.

   Actually, he voted against the Constitution, as Congress has overstepped it’s 18 enumerated powers. Not only that, but under what focus is this “tax”? To quote Roger Pilon of the Cato institute: “It’s not an income tax. Nor is it a duty, impost, or excise tax, the only kinds of taxes recognized under the Tax Clause of the Constitution.” So what kind of tax is it?
   
   Secondly, the justices villified the concept that the individual mandate was congruent with the US Consitution, insomuch as that the government’s interstate commerce clause allows them to force commerce to govern it. This idiotic law only survived because Justice Roberts doesn’t know what a “tax” is, apparently.
   
   Also, let’s not forget… Obama specifically sold the individual mandate’s fine as a fine, not a tax. He actually went out of his way to call it NOT a tax. But … the SCOTUS believes it IS a tax. So… congratulations. You just raised taxes, Mr. President.

    Boy, NOTHING satisfies you guys, huh? It’s only an activist court when you don’t agree with the results.

    It’s the same sort of tax that they charge non-parents. Just because I don’t have children I have to pay more in taxes than someone with the same income who has them. IS THAT FAIR??
    
    So now (or whenever it goes into effect) I get to take a deduction for Paying for Health Insurance, while those without such foresight get to pay.

    Justice Roberts has given 0bama a present – a poison pill.

    Again – Those who protest so loudly against needed health care reform have no clue how poorly our current system really works.

    Wrong!
    .
    For example, I spend about 1/2 of my time in Europe – different countries, and unfortunately, I had the misfortune of having an emergency minor surgery and follow -up there, and as luck would have it, I had a repeat event in the US.
    .
    Now I understand why sick people from all over the World flack to our clinics, if they can afford it.

    The British system is great – if need an aspirin, or suchOur system is not without , but try to get an MRI . . . .
