"... Mr. Chief Justice Roberts just invalidated ObamaCare when he sought to save it. Otherwise he just declared the Constitution unconstitutional... "
As much as I've hated seeing 0bama, the Senate, and the House beat the Constitution like a whipped dog, I hate it even more seeing the Supreme Court treating it this way. Despite 0bama's appointments to the SC and Judge Ginsburg, I have always previously had great respect for the SC.
Now I have very little respect for any of them.
Supreme Court INVALIDATES health care law? Say what?

Nick Purpura, the author of the linked article, filed the most comprehensive anti-Obamacare lawsuit that anyone ever filed, in any court (Purpura v Sibelius, 11-7275). In this piece, he of course excoriates John Roberts, as did the conservative dissenters (Kennedy, Scalia, Alito, and Thomas JJ, jointly!), for rewriting the law to save it. (And in the process giving the Congress an unlimited taxing power that sets at naught every protection against the arbitrary deprivation of property without due process of law. The only thing the government cannot arbitrarily do to you is execute you or confine you.)
Have a look at the Purpura case. It lists nineteen separate violations of the Constitution and monumental inconsistencies with existing law.
The big point that Purpura makes in this piece is: John Roberts said that this is a tax. OK. But this tax originated in the Senate. Article I, Section 7, Clause 1 of the Constitution reads:
All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives.
So what really happened here? Well: after Scott Brown replaced Ted Kennedy, the House simply took an unrelated bill, stripped it of its contents and short title, put in the Senate language (even the "In the Senate of the United States" heading), and then "deemed it passed" in the vote on the House Rule. Classic bait-and-switch.
But Judge Roger Vinson of the US District Court for the Northern District of Florida has already said that the bill originated in the Senate. What about that?
That finding stands and is not controverted. So Mr. Purpura says, and I agree with him, that his case deserves a reargument. And more broadly speaking, Mr. Chief Justice Roberts just invalidated ObamaCare when he sought to save it. Otherwise he just declared the Constitution unconstitutional.

Second, the threat by the federal government to withhold Medicaid support to states that don't open Obamacare exchanges was struck down, states are not required to have them to receive Medicare from the feds.
Third, and what may be the real killer is that Obamacare now being found a tax may invalidate it. Article I, Section 7, Clause 1 of the Constitution reads: "All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives.", the senate deemed Obamacare passed. As a tax bill they can't do that, start over.
Lastly and I'm not clear on this, but as I understand it, there's no penalty if you don't pay the tax! Ha! Obamacare has been defanged with the help of the leftist half of the court :-)
Here's a scary but true story. Many years ago I use to do the payroll for the company I worked at. We had one employee who was a very hard worker, why he was kept around but also the classic deadbeat, he'd buy everything on credit, maybe make a payment or two then stop so companies legally took steps to have his employer garnish his wages.
Well he went too far it didn't pay what he owed on his federal taxes. He got hurt in an accident and wasn't working for a couple months. Think that stops the IRS? Hell no. They got a court order and seized the amount he owed about $600 and the IRS directly took it out of the company's corporate account.
I was very pleased to see that guy fly his plane into their building in Austin, I hope I'm alive to see a violent taxpayer revolt against them.
Tax"-- are they really that ignorant to believe he'd only lIe about one of those statements? Who's gonna pay for this?!
And just because a Supreme court in a day where corruption and paid for politicians says that it IS constitutional doesnt make it so.
Not TO MENTION, they had to deem it a tax to even concider passing it with claims of it being the only constitutional way to Pass IT. (Although your messiah, promised and swore that it wasnt a tax)
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." - The Declaration of Independence
We'll see who's swallowing that bitter pill, come November.
What firestorm? It has only caused the predictable mashing of teeth and fist pounding from the usual suspects that always go ape when they don't get their way.
And Upholding the law is the OPPOSITE of invalidating the law.
That's why.
How can Right Wing Nut jobs convolute such simple concepts?
You people are nutty as hell.
You Right Wingers crack me up . . . Especially when you're being serious.
You left wingers crack me up, especially when you're being retarded.
