Chief Justice Roberts saved Obama

[MartinBlank]

Whether or not you are liberal or conservative, you have to respect John Roberts.

He voted what he believed to be the law of the land, and ignored his politics.

Unbelieveable.

And what makes our country great.

[frogsrangers]

The word TAX did not appear ONE time in the bill!

Judicidal activism!

Roberts cited the mandate is legal under the commerce clause.

You're now calling John Roberts, a conservative, nominated and placed on the court by George Bush---and you're calling him a judicial activist?

Are you f'in insane?

Judicial activism is judicial activism regardless of ideology

[Sam Odom]

In fairness Lefties have called Roberts an Activist for years

Anyhow... it is what it is

[Cuse0323]

No words for this

[MartinBlank]

Judicial activism is judicial activism regardless of ideology

Jesus Christ.

You are only calling Roberts an activist because he voted against your will.

Had Roberts voted to repeal this-----you wouldn't be calling him an activist, would you?

[Sam Odom]

A lot to think about here... It is way early

But on the surface this could hurt Obama reelection efforts... Hard to say

[acl123]

America is doomed.
God damned America.

[Sam Odom]

Had Roberts voted to repeal this---

MartinBlank would have called him an activist then

I agree with that.

It depends how they sell it.

[Cuse0323]

The Golden Nugget is pretty large right, look out below at the bash. This country is circling the toilet.

[minet123]

knowone believed me that when bush nominated Roberts he would be his david Souter
just like his dad
and his brother
they don't believe all that right wing BS
they pander to those nut cases to get elected
but look at the record of the Bush family in both state and federal office

[Sam Odom]

Devil in the details...

Some law professor on radio just said that "as a tax individuals can op-out and just not pay"

[Cuse0323]

DOW is gonna end up 200+ in the red today.

[rickbo528]

THe constitution was just shredded today. Tyranny was just ruled constitutional!!!!!!!! If you think the economy is in the crapper now, you haven't seen anything yet.

Obama: Mandate is Not a Tax

[MartinBlank]

Okay, so here it is.

If you don't have insurance, and you don't pay the mandate------nothing happens to you. You can't be forced to pay it.

This is going to be fun to watch.

[Sam Odom]

Martin , I've heard it 3 different ways by Law professors in the last 30 mins... Too early to tell IMO

Sounds like someone is getting kind of whiney about the 5-4 decision.

Big shock

[Sam Odom]

muldoon , you need to keep up son

6-3

also , now since there appears to be a middle class tax increase the playing field has shifted

[muldoon]

6-4

6-4?

[Sam Odom]

6-4 ???

[muldoon]

6-4 ???

You edited yours - you said 6-4.

Am I reading all these sites wrong? They all say 5-4

[Sam Odom]

Am I reading all these sites wrong? They all say 5-4

Earlier i heard on radio 6-3 and also read it online

but i just now checked NYT online and see 5-4

[muldoon]

So it's 5-4, and yet here you are bitching like you said you wouldn't.

Congrats - you are who we knew you were.

[DwightShrute]

sad day for the USA

[Sam Odom]

...yet here you are bitching like you said you wouldn't.

I ain't bitching about about the SCOTUS - I respect the Institution

But Obama ? Always...

[Shafted69]

Mitt is about to make a speech on "the decision".

Will he do another Flip Flop?

[muldoon]

sad day for the USA

Sadly, the SCOTUS rejects like Conservative "Let him die" reform plan

[MartinBlank]

What the f'k is Romney going to say?

He created the very same system in Massachusetts that the Supreme Court just upheld.
