What Chief Justice Roberts & Co. Did

They said the American people are not entitled to an honest legislative process, one in which they can safely assume that when Congress intentionally uses words that have very different meanings and consequences -- like tax and penalty
-- and when Congress adamantly insists that the foundation of legislation is one and not the other, the Court will honor, rather than rewrite, the legislative process. Meaning: if Congress was wrong, the resulting law will be struck down, and Congress will be told that, if it wants to pass the law, it has to do it honestly. Just as an appeals court may not legitimately rewrite an indictment and revise what happened at a trial, neither may it legitimately rewrite a statute and fabricate an imaginary congressional record. But today, the Supreme Court rewrote a law — which it has no constitutional authority to do — and treated it as if it were forthrightly, legitimately enacted. -- Ordered Liberty » ObamaCare Ruling: Pure Fraud and No Due Process BY Andrew C.

Your Say

Roberts is an asshole and a lawyer. But I repeat myself.

What in the world else did you people expect?
