Chief Justice Roberts is perceived to have made a the call on Bam’s tax care out of desire to validate the court. Perhaps, his thinking was correct in wanting the mandate to be readdressed by those who began the process? All I know is that I am screwed.
What he forgot were the citizens and what they wanted. All three branches are now above the citizen’s will. We had this political time bomb dumped onto our laps. While these folks mentally masturbate over their roles in healthcare for the masses, we the people will be working steadfastly to pay for something that we did not want. I do believe that if these three branches of government really want this turd, they should become willing participants and have their pockets picked and their healthcare rationed as well.
But some people say you would have to go back nearly 70 years to see this kind of tension, and almost bitterness, that now exists among the justices.
via Discord at Supreme Court is deep, and personal. Do I care that these people who sit on SCOTUS have issues now? Absolutely not.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but when have you ever known something like that to bother me?
SCOTUS did its job as a non-political entity (Ha! – as if…), or at least that’s how they want it to appear.
We can either be passive and let the bomb explode in our laps, or be pro-active and pass it along to where it belongs – into the faces of the Progressive Dems who shoved it
up our collective assdown our throats.SCOTUS put this issue into our hands. All it takes is one hand to cast our ballot. The other is free to flip the bird to the Progressive Agenda

The states can stop it by not participating.

You are absolutely correct…It is “we, the people” who cast our ballots. We can change this.

What if there was a Constitutional Amendment proposed to prohibit the Federal government to tax anyone for the refusal to purchase goods or services? I think it would have a lot of support and it would instantly make Obamacare unconstitutional.

You’re dreaming 1539. The entitled have a vote equal to ours. They aren’t about to ensure that they lose those benefits. It’s a wonderful idea, but the stop is already within the state’s grasp. I can tell you that the heavily entitled states will not opt out. They are in the business of picking the taxpayer’s pocket.

That plan is a stopgap. Eventually, the feds will sweeten the pot so much that most states will give in.

I’m not so sure.

I remember the Stimulus. Sarah Palin was one of the few governors who didn’t make a deal with the devil.

Yes, he did. It’s up to the citizen to clean this turd up now.
