Chief Justice John Roberts is reported to be writing the majority opinion for Thursday’s Health Care decision on “ObamaCare”.
Coming on top of his siding with Anthony Kennedy and three liberals on the Court on the immigration case, many observers sense that he and Kennedy will again be in the majority with the four liberals on the Court, and decide in favor of “ObamaCare”.
If Roberts does so, it will transform him immediately into one of the giants of the 17 Chief Justices of the Supreme Court historically.
If he does not do so, he is doomed to a negative role in judicial history, and will be seen by many observers as a failure as a Chief Justice.
The choice is that stark, as this case is the most important since Bush V. Gore, and follows the disastrous Citizens United Case, tragically upheld again yesterday in a Montana case on straight party line and ideology.
Roberts’ reputation is already in trouble, but could be resurrected by an open minded attitude toward health care as covered under the interstate commerce clause.
Roberts, it is said, worries about his and the Court’s reputation, and even if he serves another 20 years, he will never outlive the disappointment and turmoil that will occur if the Court rejects “ObamaCare”.
Since he seems to be a strong believer in federal power, as shown yesterday in the immigration case and the juvenile murderer case, we expect him to come down on the right of the federal government to regulate health care, and require a mandate, a demand that all citizens have health care coverage, if they wish to gain health care when needed, rather than sponging off those of us who have paid for health care.
The actual mandate would be the equivalent of about $15 a week, equivalent of one person having one meal per week at a restaurant, or half a tank of gasoline. Is this too much to ask of all citizens? The answer is NO!
Chief Justice Roberts: We are watching you!
You are another deceiver. Insurance has gone up in the last 2 years becuase of Obamacare. Insurance companies have raised prices by 25% and they do not mind telling you it is because of the Obamacare. I tried to get Insurance recently and it will cost my $600.00 a month with no preexisting. I have friends who have been covered on Insurance for years and there Insurance has risen to $600.00 a month. For the idiots out there that think Obamacare is free that the Government will provide it think again. If you fail to pay your Government mandated Insurance yearly God help you if you have property or anything else paid for the I.R.S. will be able to confiscate it. Just what the New World Order wants to take control of everything you have.Until you have nothing socialist marxist just like Hitler. Open your bible it tells you what is happening today. Why do you think B.O. wont secure our borders, and has a High Level Meeting in White House and lets a top official with Guam islamia a known Islamist Terrorist into the meeting. This is not about saving America it is about bringing us down into Obamas U.N.. new world order. E.U. had ask him to be there leader because he can reason with Muslims. Ha! Ha! you ever heard of Anti Christ the bible stated there will be many. But, One will be the last one along with One world religion. Does any of this ring a bell with you or are you part of the plan???
I am sad that you believe in conspiracy theories and show your ignorance by quoting the Bible and calling Hitler a socialist marxist, which is totally preposterous. No one ever said that government backed insurance through private insurance companies is free, but it allows 30 million people without health insurance to be covered. Your New World Order and Islamic terrorist claims are a fantasy, and will be dismissed by all sane people as propaganda without basis. However, thanks for writing and expressing your views!
