Spectered Again By Another Pseudo Republican!

I received a lot of calls today from people concerned about my reaction. Frankly, i was not angry. To understand why, see my other blog. Rather, i felt betrayed and embarrassed to be a Republican. What Chief Justice John Roberts did this week made me feel like i did when Republican Arlen Specter sided with the President on Obamacare and switched parties.

i read the opinions today by all the justices and listened to the legal interpretation this evening by Mark Levin. i won't regurgitate the legal translation from Levin but stand behind his interpretation 110%. What happened today was nothing more than a reckless disregard and abandonment of the Constitution by a Republican Justice appointed by a Republican President!

i was appalled at Justice Roberts statements regarding the fact that his job is not to protect the American people from individuals they elected to office. Rush Limbaugh touched on this earlier today. The American people were lied to, misled, and duped by a President and Democrat controlled congress on the subject matter of taxation. Chief Justice Roberts could have opted to protect the America people from a fraudulent act if he wanted to. However, with that said, that is not his job. Rather, he only has one job and that is to protect and defend the Constitution. Tonight, Mark Levin made a brilliantly compelling legal argument and pointed out several historical discrepancies and contradictions between this decision today and past decisions on similar issues of taxation. Not only did Justice Roberts contradict himself in his opinion, he allowed the court to do something unprecedented. He essentially allowed the legislation to be modified into something different than what was passed by Congress!

Justice Roberts will go down in history as a liberal justice based on his actions this week. At the end of the day, the damage is done. Even if Obamacare is repealed, it would take decades for a conservative court to reverse today's decision. is that possible? Yes, but not likely. Take a moment to review the current snapshot of the supreme court. Do you see what i see? The 3 newest judges are not only liberal, but radical! God help us!

ps: Do you now understand why it is more important than ever before to pin these people down to find out where the hell they stand on issues? Getting them elected and hoping they vote the way we want is an exercise in futility! We need something better. We need them all to stop the lip service and simply, "Show Me the CHIPS" See more here for the plan that will CHANGE EVERYTHING!

Comment by Loretta Rebeck on June 30, 2012 at 5:24pm: 'LOVE IT'!! Show me the 'CHIPS'!! And Ruth Ginsburg doesn't appear that she may be around much longer. Can't afford another 'Liberal' Supreme Court Judge. 'MUST WIN' in November!!

Comment by Charlotte O'Hara on June 29, 2012 at 4:45pm: Alex, Thank you for taking the time formulate you succinct and well thought out response to this devastating Supreme Court decision. In the upcoming primary, Aug. 7th we must be vigilant to elect true conservatives who will take their oath of office very seriously and defend both the U.S. Constitution and the Kansas Constitution as they are written, not as living documents.

The damage that Chief Justice Roberts has done to our country is incalculable, as I stated in my letter to the Chief Justice, "I weep for my country".

Comment by Greg Beal on June 29, 2012 at 1:04pm: In order to save the Act, Roberts threw the Constitution on top of the grenade.

Comment by Yvonne Starks on June 29, 2012 at 10:56am: Alex.....I don't think that Erick Erickson was necessarily agreeing with Roberts or his thinking.....even though I'd agree with you on that he could've "beaten him up" a bit in his verbal analysis.

I think it was simply an analysis of him and his obviously not good conservative, LONG-TERM motives. Bad choices. ACTIVIST JUDGE to the max. Erickson could've written a lot more, but I don't disagree with much of what he outlined as, hey, only possibilities.....who knows where the individual human mind can go---and why?

Rush Limbaugh mentioned Roberts' joining the "WDC Establishment".....trying to look good to those elites he is in the midst of......haven't we had THAT discussion a million times.....(yeah, the Kansas Senate race comes to mind AGAIN)......and I just posted on V&V about my own, very humble and very simple thinking on one more possible Roberts' level....which could easily also include the WDC crowd. Their every-day contact and the need for "popularity" and "acceptance" is very invasive and very absorbing into the human psyche. Some fall prey easier than others.....

Comment by Alex Poulter on June 29, 2012 at 10:09am: The GOP is already misfiring on the newest campaign with their softer rhetoric. They plan to rattle off a string of sound bytes labeling them as broken promises. Wrong! These are not broken promises. These are lies. Be bold. Win.

Comment by Alex Poulter on June 29, 2012 at 10:06am: I just red the Eric E. opinion on Red-State and couldn't disagree with him more on Roberts. You don't play chess, poker, horseshoes & hand grenades, etc. with the Constitution. Chief Justice Roberts had complete authority and opportunity to throw this POS unconstitutional legislation out! Instead, he did something worse. He exposed the entire country to unlimited and unprecedented overreach by the feds going forward. From a political standpoint, there is only one way out of this mess and it is a super majority of bipartisan support of repeal based upon the argument that this is the largest tax increase in the history of the world, bad policy, and certain financial destruction to the economy.

Comment by Kathy Brown, Esq. on June 28, 2012 at 11:51pm: Alex, great blog.

Roberts' betrayal is not only horrible because he's a Republican, but into the bargain he's a Catholic. He publicly identifies as such. In his previous decisions, Roberts has been conspicuously Natural Law adherent as was/is Justice Thomas. This-besides his stellar record of Original Intent decisions, is why Pres. Bush nominated him not only for the Supremes, but indeed for Chief Justice. Gee: What a laugh-riot Mr. Chief Justice must be having about now! He sure pulled the wool over his eyes!

George, John: The CJ may have any number of motivations for what he did today, but he's not CJ to indulge himself in such. As has already been said, he's there to defend and protect the constitution of the United States. He's NOT there to rewrite the govt's argument, then-due to his rewrite-say ObamaCare passes constitutional muster. Today, he violated his oath, spectacularly, and calculated for maximum effect.

As Alex said: Here's what he gets for his perfidy. He gets 'credit' for every middle-aged woman who's denied chemotherapy to save her life when she's dx'ed with breast cancer. Every infant born with congenital anomalies which are 'too expensive' to 'justify correction'. You think I'm kidding? Take a look at what Washington State and Oregon-who have 'assisted suicide' state ObamaCare (the administration spent a great deal of time 'modeling' ObamaCare on those two models)-presently have. I personally know of one such 'stipulation' of those state models which allow for ONE REMISSION from ANY CANCER, after which only palliative care is vouschafed. Translation-you lose your remission from cancer, and the state tells you to go home and die. They are, however, kind enough to supply you with pain-killers, the better to ease your [premature] death.

With Christina I too am praying for God's mercy. On us. Our country. On 'Catholics' like Roberts.

Comment by George Dewayne Burgess on June 28, 2012 at 10:00pm: Roberts may be a little smarter than some of us think. With this decision, the S. Court has just given conservatives all the ammunition they need to take back the Senate, increase seats in the House and defeat Obama. With the tax ruling, it now only takes 51 votes instead of 60 to repeal in the Senate.

As Erick Erickson says, "Roberts if playing chess while the rest of us play poker".

Comment by John Stolte on June 28, 2012 at 9:51pm: Justice Roberts was taunting us. He told us that we are at fault for this and that we need to fix it. We need to do exactly that in November. We need to begin now. Work for candidates and contribute whatever you can to them.
