Crazy Justice thinks he is a politician. Republican picked John Roberts needs to resign his bench ASAP. John is loaded with earmarks. It broke my heart to see the healthcare law get Supreme Court support with Roberts allying with the left. This was a no-brainer. G. W. Bush must be a very unhappy camper right now. I agree with G.W. right now. His decision to ally with the left justices for the keeping the healthcare law was very stupid.
The Supreme Court did not save us from ourselves, at least not entirely. That is still up to us, the people.
When
the American people elected Barack Obama and large Democrat majorities,
the die was cast. ObamaCare was coming. Popular or not, constitutional
or not, affordable or not, it didn't matter. They were going to pass it,
and then the rest of us could find out what they put in it.
After
the Democrats shoved the 2700 pages of ObamaCare down our throats --
and we did find out how expensive, controlling, and coercive the
legislation was -- a majority of Americans wanted the Supreme Court to
toss it aside as unconstitutional.
In a 5-4 decision, the Court
did not deem it a legal overreach by the Democrats. While I would have
agreed with the minority (Scalia, Alito, Thomas, Kennedy), I respect the
decision.
For those of us who originally disagreed with
ObamaCare and now disagree with the majority opinion of the SCOTUS, the
challenge remains the same as it would have been had the Court ruled
otherwise. We need to elect Mitt Romney and House and Senate majorities
that will repeal ObamaCare and replace it with free-market, pro-liberty
solutions.
In a very real way, the Court just put the
responsibility back on the voters to re-establish government of, by, and
for the people. In the end, we get the government – and policies that
go with it – that we deserve. So, who will we elect as our
representative leaders in November? The importance of this election –
already historic – just grew even greater.
As the nation absorbs
and deciphers the SCOTUS ruling on ObamaCare, we thought our readers
would find the following excerpts from NRO's analysis insightful.
