John Roberts: The Umpire Strikes Out
Jun 25, 2015 Commentary, Political, SCOTUScare
There is no doubt Chief Justice John Roberts is an intelligent man. He can cite and discuss legal cases without notes and he is well versed. These fact make his two decisions in the Affordable Care Act (previously known as Obamacare but now to be known as SCOTUScare) quite perplexing. Roberts basically rewrote the law and twisted logic as well as stepping out of his area of responsibility to ensure that the law formerly known as Obamacare survived.
When the ACA was being forced on us the Obama Regime said that the fee for not getting insurance was a penalty and NOT a tax. Obama chided George Stephanopoulos when George said the penalty seemed to fit the dictionary definition of a tax. Of course Obama was lying then because he knew it was actually a tax.
But the Regime called it a penalty and defended it as such to the public. The Democrats called it a penalty in the law and told their constituents that it was not a tax. Mr. Gruber, the POS who helped with this said it had to be called a penalty or it would have never passed and that the Regime depended on the stupidity of the public to get it passed.
When the Regime went to court it argued that the penalty was really a tax for the purpose of arguing in court and that anything to the contrary was just silly.
Despite overwhelming evidence John Roberts sided with the left wing of the court and rewrote the legislation to make the penalty a tax and within the authority of Congress. He upheld the law by legislating from the bench.
Fast forward to now. There is a portion of the ACA that says subsidies will only be available to those who get insurance from exchanges established by the state. There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that this sentence means the individual states. This is how it was intended and the Democrats along with Goebbels Gruber even told us that it would be in the best interest of the people if states set up exchanges so that the people could get subsidies. Given the straight forward language and what they said there is no doubt what it was supposed to be. This sentence was the subject of a Supreme Court case and once again Roberts sided with the liberal wing and rewrote the legislation. Roberts read the minds of those in Congress (Democrats only) and concluded that they really meant that state and federal government.
Roberts disgraced himself and his court and his legacy will be one of failure. I do not like the left wing right wing idea of a court. Courts are supposed to be impartial and rule on the law. Roberts made himself a legislator along with the lefties and rewrote the law to once again save Obama.
After Roberts knelt before Obama and pleased him there is no doubt now how he will vote on gay marriage. This issue should be left to the states and Roberts made a big deal of states rights when he was nominated but he will vote with the rainbow crowd and swallow hard for Obama.
It seems to me that Roberts must have been neglected as a child. His parents probably did not love him and daddy was probably never around. Roberts appears to need the approval of others and he seems to go out of his way to get the approval of Obama, his closet lover.
John Roberts once believed, or at least he said he did, that the judiciary was there to interpret not to make up the laws. Roberts basically stated that it is not his job to play the game or make the rules but to make sure those playing the game are following he rules. He did that when he compared judges to baseball umpires: “[I]t’s my job to call balls and strikes, and not to pitch or bat.”
Roberts has gone from being just the umpire to also being on the rules committee. Instead of just making sure others follow the rules he is now changing them to suit his master’s needs. Indeed, the umpire has struck out.
Justice Scalia put it most succinctly when he stated in his dissent (it is well worth your time to read the dissent. Scalia basically spells out how it should work in a legal and logical way and he holds little back with regard to how he views his colleagues in the majority):
Under all the usual rules of interpretation, in short, the Government should lose this case. But normal rules of interpretation seem always to yield to the overriding principle of the present Court: The Affordable Care Act must be saved. Court Ruling
Scalia is correct. This court has a mandate and it is to protect and save the law now known as SCOTUScare. Obama put Kagan and Sotomayor on the court because they are not jurists they are activists. They do not care what the Constitution says or what is lawful or right as long as their liberal views and desires are taken care of. They are there to ensure the liberal agenda (I should call it the Communist agenda since Jarrett and Obama were raised by Commies and are commies themselves) is upheld the law and the Constitution be damned. Add those two to Buzzy Ginsburg, Breyer and wishy-washy Kennedy and you have the make up of a court that ignores the rule of law. When Roberts joins the mix it equals the downfall of society and the furtherance of communism.
God help them all when the day comes for them to be held accountable. It will be quite unpleasant indeed.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Obama Bullied By A Girl, Cries
Sep 6, 2008 Political
Barack Hussein Obama wants to be the President of the United States. He has made it clear that he will negotiate with our enemies without precondition but has indicated that the military option is always on the table. Obama can talk tough when he has to and he has been known to be a political thug but beneath it all he is a pussy.
We know that Obama is a pussy because he is crying that a woman is beating him up. I remember when I was a boy one of the things we boys never wanted to happen was for us to get beat up by a girl. You could get your butt whipped everyday from a guy and it was over that day but if a girl kicked your tail you never lived it down. Obama is crying about being bullied by a girl and he does not like it. He might never live it down.
You see, during the Democratic Primaries Obama had the media on his side and Hillary was beaten from all angles. There were a lot of dynamics involved and though Obama was sexist, he was not beaten by the woman because he was able to gang up on her, Chicago style. With Saracuda it will make no difference how many friends he brings to the fight, she will not back down. The Media have been against Republicans for such a long time we already know that the odds are stacked against us so it will not come as a surprise to us as it did Hillary. A fight is good but how will Obama’s crying about being picked on play with voters? Will they realize he lacks what it takes to be tough?
Obama is saying that he will not be smeared, lied about or bullied and that he does not like to come in second. It is funny, because all Obama has done is attack and smear Palin since she was announced. Oh sure, he might not have been the one to say the words, but he is the one who has directed the attacks. Much like he did in the primary, he is allowing his surrogates to attack while he looks clean and above the fray. He is also letting women do his fighting:
Senator Barack Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Governor Sarah Palin and Senator John McCain, dispatching Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to Florida on Monday and creating a rapid-response team to deploy female surrogates to battleground states, Obama advisers said on Thursday. Herald Tribune
So the way I see it, Barry Obama is crying because his record (not him personally) was attacked by a woman in response to his dismissal of her record and selection to be VP. Make no mistake, the initial response was dismissal and negative. It was changed when reaction from many was swift and also negative. I also see that Barry is pimping out his women to do his fighting for him. He is getting beat up by a girl and he is sending girls to fight his battle. He is not man enough to fight on his own.
We know that Barry cannot match up with McCain as a matter of toughness and there is no shame in that. But Obama has no problem attacking McCain and engaging in a fight with him. Obama is not willing to take on Palin which makes me wonder how tough he could possibly be with the bad people of this world.
I guess what is at the root of all this is that Barry thought that Palin would crumble under the weight of the attacks launched against her by his friends in the media. I guess he figured that she would be beaten into submission and would be too timid to fight back. Instead, after Barry’s friends in the media ran one false story after another or dredged up decades old items to try to discredit her and even after they questioned her ability as a mother because of the decision she made to fly after her water broke (which is no one’s concern but hers and her doctors) Palin, instead of crumbling, struck back.
As an aside, would someone tell me why, when a woman wants to murder a child through abortion, it is a matter between her and her doctor but when Palin decided to fly home to deliver her child it is everyone’s business. People have been attacking her judgment because of a decision she and her doctor made. I thought the left believed in a woman’s choice. They never concern themselves with children who are aborted and Obama is not concerned with the ones who are born alive after an attempted abortion. Why question Palin’s judgment on life when they oppose questiong judgment in a culture of death? And for the uninformed, Trisomy 21 is genetic so flying after her water broke did not cause the defect.
Back to business. I know that Obama needs to be careful because he risks being called out for picking on the girl. He (or his surrogates) has attacked her family, her personal decisions and they have made up vile lies about her baby and who had it and fathered it. It is all a bunch of personal attacks and Obama is responsible for them (it is HIS campaign and he thinks running it makes him more qualified than Palin). I wonder when the media will look into Obama’s associations and shady past. Funny how he sounds like Hillary when he says he has been vetted for 19 months while Palin has been at it for 4 days.
They know that they cannot attack her qualifications because she has more of them than Obama so they are going after her personal life. Funny thing, she took what they had and then shot back and when she did it was a gut punch that had Barry on his knees whining that a woman had bullied him and asking his girls to go out and attack her for him.
We have a name for men who put women on the streets doing dirty work for them. We call them pimps.
Palin will do well to avoid attacking the surrogates. Their goal is to take focus off Obambi. She should address anything they say by refocusing it on Obama. She could say; “Surrogate X was on the attack for Senator Obama and she carried his message of…” And then she could attack him and his message and ignore the surrogate. If I were she I would connect Obambi’s use of women to attack with his sexist attitude toward them as displayed in the primary. That will resonate. I think that Obama and his people found out that a woman who hunts her own food is not going to wilt when a slick talking, former drug using*, Chicago thug attacks her. I bet that not only can she take him in a verbal battle, she could actually stomp his metrosexual butt into a mud puddle and then walk it dry.
Perhaps Palin’s executive experience as a governor and running a military has given her the experience to fight while Obama is unable to do anything but send his nags out to fight for him. Real demonstration about Commander in Chief credentials by a person who will not be the president to someone who is running to be. We already know McCain has the creds for the job and it is good to see Palin holds her creds a heartbeat away.
I actually look forward to Obama’s girls (not his children though they might be tougher than daddy) attacking Palin. The left has a bunch of old nasty looking feminazis who will look like a bunch of harpies when they go up against a telegenic, intelligent woman who can mop the floor with them. Remember, Palin has already scared Oprah Winfrey.
Democrats can say they are not scared but I can smell the fear.
Who would you rather have standing next to you in a tough spot; Obama and Biden or McCain and Palin?
