You would be crowing about the great John Roberts IF he had decided the ACA was unconstitutional. That did not happen. Remember, Richie, he has a lot more judicial experience than you do. |
Watch What You Wish For
The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision ruled the individual mandate constitutional and that since the mandate was a tax it was constitutionally upheld to level such a tax. It means that if an individual refuses to buy insurance then by some manner, probably using the IRS, an individual will pay a penalty. Fair enough. So let's assume that some powerful people in Washington agree with the premise that every American has an obligation to serve in the military and are doing so because the voluntary aspect has become an abject failure. So under the constitutionality of the individual mandate these politicians can now say everyone has an obligation to serve in the military for four years. If you refuse to sign up well then we will penalize you financially until you fulfill your obligation. This as opposed to a two year draft that as of this writing is very unpopular and only holds an individual for two years. I am certain many of you can provide better examples but the point is that this decision is going to have a very negative effect on the US Constitution. Justice Roberts took the cowards way out because as I had written in another thread even if the majority ruled the mandate a tax they had an obligation to return the issue to Congress because it could no longer be argued until after the implementation of said tax. I am just blowin waway by the liberals over joy concerning ObamaCare when it is obviously bad policy |
bad policy or good policy it does not matter...it is the LAW of the land. Until the surpreme court revisits it or congress repeals it it is the law. What you think of it is a different issue. I am against the court ruling that made corpoations people,I think it will have a far more negative impact on the USA than healthcare but for now it is the law of the land.

Of course if he called a spade a spade the bill would have been declared unconstitutional as it should have been. Why wouldn't I acknowledge the rightness of that. Unfortunately, InJustice Roberts betrayed his trust. This is the biggest abuse of the Constitution since Roe v. Wade. Only this bill is going to go a long way to bankrupting the American people. Socialists make me ill. |
by the way Fig it is the surpreme court that determines if a law is or is not constitutional...thats in the constitution.

The ACA will benefit many millions of people. It is not bad policy but is very good policy. The Chief Justice was appointed by George W. Bush and was introduced as a strict conservative and a constitutional expert. He wrote his opinion, upheld the ACA and it is LAW. I guess he knows more about the Constitution than you or I since he is Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court - and we are just happy golfers in The Villages. |

Justice Roberts should be impeached for this breaching of the public trust. |

Still think he is playing chess so to speak by creating an argument to overrule Roe vs. Wade on the basis of that decision's overreaching. The Republicans have a much better argument against Roe v. Wade and its making law rather than ruling on the Constitutionality of law. |
DaleMN, no the SCOTUS only imterupts the law as THEY think it applies to the Constitution. The 5-4 McDonald v DC is an example of 4 being wrong about one of the Bill of Rights, and then good ole lady Ginsburg tells a country don't look at the US Constitution as an example to use. She should have been impeached for saying that.

As to the ACA helping millions I didn't realize there were that many people holding poltical office in Washington DC As to Chief Justice Roberts he may have been appointed by G. W. and he may be conservative but he was a coward here, he created bad law and he sanctioned a bad policy that will damage this country badly. Again if he felt the individual mandate was a tax then he had to send the case back because nothing could have been decided until the tax was being implemented and that won't occur until 2014....and you can't use an adjective such as "happy" with me in connection with golf because the game is driving me crazy and i beginning to think the ball is doing it on purpose |
