I'm sorry but you don't know activist from your butthole. I'm done with you. You need to get an education.Well, 4 years ago I thought Roberts' aim was to take constitutional law back to pre-Warren. I'm still not sure. But the Obamacare suits were simply about congressional taxing power and simple statutory construction. I understand you don't like Obamacare, and neither do I, but you're wanting Roberts to be an activist Justice, and he's simply not going to overturn congress's power to tax, which is so basic to the constitution that what you want is absurd. The only way to change Obamacare is by enacting laws.Ted Cruz, Then and Now
June 25, 2015By Taegan Goddard
“One of the best constitutional minds in the country.”
— Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), quoted in 2005 by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, on Chief Justice John Roberts.
“Unelected judges have once again become legislators, and bad ones at that. They are lawless, and they hide their prevarication in legalese.”
— Cruz, in a statement today on the Obamacare decision written by Roberts.
10 years ago we didn't know how big a dick Roberts really is. At least those on the right learn.
Note that Roberts did not say the commerce clause supported Obamacare. The commerce clause is what congress used for civil rights and other liberal changes to the rights of individuals and the power of the govt.
What do you mean, Roberts is already an activist judge. He changed the ACA when he changed the word penalty to tax. That one word tax might have meant the whole thing went down, but we will never know cause Roberts made law instead of kicking back to congress so they could decide if they wanted to raise taxes or not.
And now this, again the right thing to do would have been to kick it back to the congress and let them fix the language but again he was an activist. The wording, as I provided is really, really plain there is nothing ambiguous. The court could have kicked it back with say a 100 days period for Congress to either change the language or the language stands, what he did was pure activism. Now the question is, does the section of the law get changed or do they just ignore it? If just ignore it then does any of the law need to be followed?
As for hating the ACA, I am not really sure I do or not. I got screwed out of my health care that was promised to be because of the ACA but I am only one person and maybe just maybe it does actually help some people but for the life of me I don't know of one, really. Won't matter much longer in another 11 months I will be forced to become a government leech. Not sure what will happen with the wife.
