Roberts will go down in history as a fool if the court does NOT declare the individual mandate unConstitutional.
If 0bozocare were to survive, our entire economy will purposely collapse as designed, creating the 'emergency' the progs need to install a complete govt. run, European, Socialist nanny-state system they have been after all along.
The Public Trial of Justice Roberts - will the veiled threats work?

Novelist John Grisham could hardly spin a more provocative fiction: The president and his surrogates mount an aggressive campaign to intimidate the chief justice of the United States, implying ruin and ridicule should he fail to vote in a pivotal case according to the ruling political party’s wishes.
If only it were fiction.
The justice is, of course, John Roberts and the case involves the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a.k.a. Obamacare, which would be affordable only if the Supreme Court upholds the individual mandate requiring all Americans to buy health insurance.
The left’s narrative goes as follows: If the justices side with the Obama administration, they will be viewed as brilliant and nonpartisan. If the reverse occurs, why then, the justices are partisan, judicial activists who have delegitimized the court.
Publicly chastising the court — and now taunting Roberts specifically — seems to have two purposes. One is to get under Roberts’s skin in the hopes that he’ll rule the “correct,” if not necessarily “legally correct,” way. Two is to lay the groundwork for declaring the court illegitimate if all or part of Obamacare is overturned.
Either way, it’s politics at its filthiest and is beneath the dignity of the court — and of the White House. Unfortunately for Roberts, it’s up to the chief justice to hold the bar high.
Justice Roberts = gravitas  ... President Obama = sly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The progressives had a ball when they played constantly with their new word, gravitas, when they were taunting President Bush. He had so little, according to MSM. Has anyone heard the word used as regards our esteemed thug in the White House now. Well, I haven't, so let me be the first to say that gravitas is an unknown quantity to Obama.
He, and none in his gang, have what it takes to have gravitas - and that is CLASS. And because he doesn't, we dare not trust him. Many of us never have, and for good reason. His actions do not reflect his words.

Have the example of Zimbabwe right next door how Mr. Mugabe went about this.
Be afraid very afraid of this trend.
A Panel appointed by the Potus has supreme control over medical care and cannot be challenged by the courts .
WHHHAAATTTT?
Obamacare reduces government to two ( one ? ) branch .
The supreme court has no choice . Either overturn Obamacare or Abandon the Constitution . ( allowing for the fact that the one crazy old bat has already publicly stated that very Idea ) A couple others have also expressed disdain for the constitution .
EDIT for reference :
This panel of 15 unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats has been tasked with cutting Medicare and given the power to ration care for our seniors. The Board’s decisions cannot be challenged in courts, and its members are accountable to no one – not to Congress, not to our seniors, and not to the American people.

The remaining so-called 'Blue-Dogs' are the surviving remnants of what used to be.
As bad as Wilson was with giving us the Federal Reserve and IRS, FDR preyed on people's despair during the Depression and duped the masses into a false sense of security and amnesia about WHY our founders committed treason against the most powerful Navy & Army on the planet.
They weren't horsing around.
98 million apathetic, eligible voters chose to not exercise that right in Nov. 2008. That will NOT be the case in 5-1/2 months.
