Confirmed? Roberts Switched Vote On Obamacare.

There is now some confirmation that Chief Justice John Roberts switched his vote on Obamacare in what some are calling an attempts to reputation of the Supreme Court as nonpartisan. I say he caved in to Obama's pressure and further damaged the reputation of the Supreme Court. Roberts betrayed both the Constitution and Conservatives who gave him his job.

Via Beltway Confidential:

Chief Justice John Roberts voted against Obamacare, but then — in a move that angered his conservative colleagues — switched his vote as he became convinced that a 5-4 ruling against the law would damage the reputation of the Supreme Court.

Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy went through weeks of debate with each other, as Kennedy tried to convince Roberts to strike down the law and Roberts wrangled with Kennedy to create a 6-3 majority in support of the bill, “two sources with specific knowledge of the deliberations,” told CBS News.

That sequence of events tracks with the external debate about the bill after the court heard oral arguments in March. As observers concluded that the court would overturn the individual mandate, Democrats went on offense.

How Chief Justice Roberts Has Shredded The Constitution...

Chief Justice Roberts has ruled the mandate is unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause, but can stand anyway because it is really a tax. Many will consider this argument a technicality. In some ways it is. Imagine a SCOTUS opinion making it illegal to sell a dozen eggs, but legal to sell twelve. That is of course ridiculous and we would be lucky if this was just one stupid and misguided SCOTUS ruling. It isn't. Roberts' opinion fundamentally changes the Constitution. Actually, it shreds it. What Chief Justice Roberts is actually saying is the government can not force you to buy insurance, but they can tax you if you don't. 

•       “The individual mandate cannot be upheld as an exercise of Congress’s power under the Commerce Clause. That Clause authorizes Congress to regulate interstate commerce, not to order individuals to engage in it.”
•       But “it is reasonable to construe what Congress has done as increasing taxes on those who have a certain amount of income, but (who) choose to go without health insurance. Such legislation is within Congress’s power to tax.”

Think about that for a  minute. The government can now tax you at will for not engaging in an activity. They can tax you for not buying a Chevy Volt or other electric vehicle. It just gets worse from there. The Constitution won't allow the government to mandate a religion, but they can decide Islam is in the national interest and tax you if you don't join. This practice was called jizya or jizya and was a feature of early Islam. Chief Justice Roberts and the four liberal members of the Supreme Court have just legalized jizya.

SCOTUS Justice Roberts Found Obama's SOTU "Very Troubling"

When Obama criticized the SCOTUS decision on a campaign finance case during his State of the Union address, Justice Samuel Alito mouthed the words "not true." He wasn't the only Justice to be troubled by Obama's lack decorum. U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts found the remarks and lack of decorum "very troubling."

Responding to a University of Alabama law student's question, Roberts said anyone was free to criticize the court, and some have an obligation to do so because of their positions...

"The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the court — according the requirements of protocol — has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling."
