Did Justice Roberts just HAND the ELECTION to OBAMA??!!

The election will be won on the merits of the individuals and hopefully NOT on the basis of how much money is spent.

Dumb like a fox Roberts defining this atrocity as a tax, has helped waken a sleeping giant. Getting people off the fence and to the voting booth is a good thing. To repeal Obomacare, simply repeal Obama. Obama is mollified and will keep on defending this unpopular, 21 tax abomination. It now takes just a simple majority to repeal . In a chess game, it is a wise strategic move to give up a pawn to put the KING in checkmate. BTW: good ruling on commerce clause. Roberts has handed the election to Romney.

Obama already has it.

He just killed small business.

HE DID JUST THE OPPOSITE...THE MEME FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS HAS BEEN 'TAXES'...NEED I SAY MORE???


DUH.

He uncovered a Balmy lie and made it a tax. Now it is more imperative than ever that he be replaced. Once congress gets a tax passed it can increase interminably and we could be stuck with 50% income taxes. One quick fix might be to pass legislation that everyone is on it with no exclusions. This might make the "high and mighty" flinch and be more subjective to getting rid of the mess and starting over. When one thinks about it why should our hirelings in DC get priviledges not available to the taxpayers who pay the bills?

Justice Roberts did his job ... and that is surprising but he up held the Constitution and President Obama will have four more years in office because that is what the American people want.

I hope that the American people are intelligent enough to interpret Justice Robert's decision about Obamacare as a threat to their freedoms and to their wallets. I was not going to vote in this election but now that I see Obamacare as a huge tax on the middle class I will vote for Romney and tell everyone I know to do likewise.

He told the american people what the Court thought of Obama- so sweet that it melted in Obama mouth

Not sure of this ruling's final effect ... but all those whining about "conservative principles" of government really need to go back to the dictionary and refresh or discover the definition of the word ... it has nothing to do with the size or, for that matter, the power of government.

He certainly stirred up the republican base. But he destroyed hopes too.

Just remember it's not a tax....Obama said so.... F**king LAIR!

This douche bag did!

If anything the win for the healthcare bill might cost Obama votes. If Roberts is playing politics then shame on him and he is fortunate that he doesn't have to run for election.

He did Obama more harm than good, now it's a tax no matter what the liar says.

Conservatives yell about following the Constitution. Justice Roberts is a Conservative, appointed by Bush. I put a question on a few days ago: "Should The Supreme Court Be Abolished"? due to a few deciding final opinions and votes for Americans, being dictatorship like. Mostly Conservatives all answered how we need Supreme Court to uphold U.S. Constitution, and balance. Now because the ruling did not go their way Republicans complain. Justice Roberts is not on the Supreme Court to please the U.S. President, Democrats or Republicans. Get over it.! Republicans are whiners.

This is a perfect example of why I hate the conservative/liberal labels.

Roberts, much like the Bushes, Cheney, and McCain, is a neocon.

He has never really demonstrated much (if any) respect for the Constitution. He's only a conservative if you buy into the "Bigger government that forces everyone to live like good Christians and believes the US should be running everyone else's governments."

Which is one facet of it. Almost everyone seems to forget that "conservative" can also mean "tiny government that mostly leaves people alone to live our own individual lives and deal with the consequences of our decisions."

I think we are going to need to wait and see. It's going to be close, and most welfare cases live in the high number electoral number states.

No, in fact, the opposite, .... he has awakened a sleeping giant.

LOL Not in the least, let them celebrate this short term battle victory I would rather win the entire war in November both houses and the WH. Let them tell their constituents how much they will enjoy the 24% Federal tax hike hitting home and see how that plays at the polls.

I thought Republicans were all for The Supreme Court being fair and balanced, abiding by the Constitution. Oh because Conservatives did not get the vote they wanted they become a bunch of whining cry babies. Republican speculation why Justice Roberts voted as he did is just speculation. No matter what, Mitt Romney is a loser, not popular.

I hope so

President Obama would have won 2012 Election anyway.

This is most likely very true.

The Supreme Court, sadly, has proven it is not above politics of the day. Confidence in the Supreme Court is at an all time low...

ABC 'Nightline' anchor Terry Moran joined Top Line for a special edition dissecting the Supreme Court's decision on health care, a blockbuster ruling which upheld President Obama's signature piece of legislation. And the president and supporters of the law were not the only victors.

Chief Justice John "Roberts rode to the rescue of the Obama health care plan, and maybe rode to the rescue of the Supreme Court, as well," says Moran, who has been covering the Supreme Court for many years.

The justices have seen the esteem for the court diminish over these hyper partisan years. Since Bush v. Gore, polls show Americans feel less confident in the court. The court has no way to enforce its decisions except in the confidence of the people.

"The prestige of the court is the source of its authority," says Moran, "and justices can't be happy if [the court] is just another football in the political war."

Justice Roberts explained his vision of the Supreme Court during his 2005 confirmation hearings.

"Judges are like umpires. Umpires don't make the rules; they apply them," said Roberts at the time. "The role of an umpire and a judge is critical. They make sure everybody plays by the rules, but it is a limited role. Nobody ever went to a ballgame to see the umpire."

No matter what the votes are. Obama wins due to fraud. You do not understand but Obama and the boys have rigged the election or will just plain tell you you are incorrect in the count. . This is Tyranny at it's highest level before the troops come to shoot the unbelievers.or take them, off to the Concentration camps.

What Justice Roberts did was legislate from the bench. He pissed off a lot of people and gave the Romney campaign a big boost. Roberts is a turncoat and a coward, he violated his oath and in my opinion is unworthy to be called an American.
Also, if Obama gets re-elected then this Country gets exactly what it deserves, Statism. But as for me well, as one of our founders said. Resistance to tyranny is obideance to God.

Oh how funny? Republicans are so for the Constitution, a fair and balanced Supreme Court. Suddenly they don't like the Supreme Court vote, start their usual cry babying, they did not get their way. Justice Roberts was appointed by Bush, if he had voted how you wanted Robert's would be a great Judge. Romney can't win. Romney is a weak candidate who cannot even take a firm stand on any issues. Romney is a coward who dodged Vietnam Draft with manipulating 4 deferments because his family was wealthy. Romney let other soldiers die in his place. Romney has no right to be in command of U.S. Armed Forces. Romney even cheated paying taxes.

Didn't even address what I said just critisize. Justice Roberts change the Law from a penelty to a tax right from the bench. Show me were in the Constiution a Justice has that power?

You just don't like the vote. Too bad! If Justice Roberts voted the other way, you would say he is a fair justice.

No, I would say he stood by his oath to uphold the Constitution. You and your old do not care about the Constitution when it gets in the way of free goodies. You and your ilk would sell the future of this Country, future generations and your very souls. For free goodies and lost of your liberty.

Then you should have no problem voting for Romney. Since you think heis like Obama.

I doubt you read what I typed above. How do I think Romney is like Obama.?

You didn't even read what you posted. Considering that these news articles are from leftist rag news paper. They are leftist leaning and report out of context.
But to answer your question:

"Mitt Romney criticized President Obama for a nearly identical green energy program Romney set up in his state. Three of the six companies in Massachusetts fund invested in are now defunct or struggling" [Politico, 10/26/2011]

I totally agree with you about Roberts. But the other half of your post...

The thing is, electing Mitt is every bit as bad. Nominating him guarantees we move further down the road to Statism.

*This* is what I despise about partisan politics. Republicans seem to blindly believe, for some strange reason, that Mitt will be better somehow than Obama.

Then what do you suggest?

sousveillance is the first idea that comes to mind.

There is no choice. Vote for someone other than Romney and Obama has a better chance to win. Obama is out to destroy this Country and he has to be stopped.

Meh. I don't live in a Swing State. My vote's meaningless.

Romney's every bit as bad as Obama. et al.
