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.
Old NFO makes some very good points here. You really need to look at the actual results rather than ranting about how SCOTUS has screwed us now and forever.
I think the most important point is that the individual mandate penalty has been declared a tax because a penalty is unconstitutional. So SCOTUS has stated that the administration lied when it insisted it wasn't a tax. I think we need to hammer on this point repeatedly.
The second big point is that SCOTUS made it much easier for states to exempt themselves. The Feds can't penalize them by withholding other funding.
So this isn't all bad, you just have to address from the right direction. (no pun intended) :)
