Chief Justice John Roberts: Asshole of the Century.

Those who stand too close to the light of knowledge are often blinded to the truth. You can quote me on that. The most educated people seem unable to visualize the gravity of their decisions, especially when the consequences of those decisions do not apply to themselves. So now it seems that Chief Justice John Roberts cares little about the Death Panels or the Socialized Medicine scheme that he approved in his joining with the leftists on the Supreme Court. Why? Because the health care plan that he has for himself and his family is not the Obamacare that he has forced down our throats. This is my opinion and for the time being it is protected by my 1st Amendment Constitutional Rights. Chief Justice John Roberts, in spite of his high education and vast knowledge of the law, gets my nomination for Asshole of the Century. Fox News reported his opinion as follows:

Chief Justice John Roberts, who was appointed during a Republican administration, joined the four left-leaning justices on the bench in crafting the majority decision.

"The Affordable Health Care Act survives largely unscathed," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one of those justices, declared at the end of the reading, claiming the "setbacks" going forward will be "temporary blips, not permanent obstructions."

The ruling relied on a technical explanation of how the individual mandate could be categorized. Roberts, in the opinion, said the mandate could not be upheld under the Constitution's Commerce Clause. However, it could be upheld under the government's power to tax.

"The Affordable Care Act is constitutional in part and unconstitutional in part  The individual mandate cannot be upheld as an exercise of Congress's power under the Commerce Clause," Roberts wrote. "That Clause authorizes Congress to regulate interstate commerce, not to order individuals to engage it. In this case, however, it is reasonable to construe what Congress has done as increasing taxes on those who have a certain amount of income, but choose to go without health insurance. Such legislation is within Congress's power to tax."

Roberts stressed that the decision does not speak to the merits of the law. "We do not consider whether the act embodies sound policies. That judgment is entrusted to the nation's elected leaders," he said.

Now, more than ever before, we need an absolute, veto-proof Republican controlled Congress with the backbone to stand up to the pro-Communist Democratic Party and the Marxist/Socialist imposter in the White House. Today's decision is even more reason why every American who cares about our country should VOTE REPUBLICAN in November.
