The one thing that's obvious is you can't trust those who label themselves as "conservative" or "constitutionalist" when it counts. It doesn't make any difference who they are or what ideology they claim to espouse, you can't expect them to stand up for the Constitution. Once again, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to stand for the Constitution. The Supreme Court yesterday gave the federal government the "okay" to intrude into every aspect of our lives. The issue at hand was over the individual mandate which gives the government the "right" to tell Americans they must purchase healthcare insurance. That was the question that the Supreme Court was to answer. Instead, Chief Justice John Roberts, a George W. Bush appointee in 2005, gave the Obama administration the green light by upholding Obamacare. He rewarded the dishonesty of the federal government by siding with the liberal wing of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court said that the individual mandate is a tax by the federal government. Therefore, it justifies the federal government's actions in implementing this hideous bill. Even though the actions of the Supreme Court are disappointing, I'm not surprised. You can't trust those who claim to be constitutionalists to stand for the American people when it counts. I don't care if it's the Supreme Court, The GOP-controlled House or the Republicans in the Senate.
Since the Supreme Court's decision yesterday, we've heard the same political figures on the Republican side state they are going to work towards repeal of Obamacare. I read where GOP candidate Mitt Romney said that yesterday he was going to push for the repeal of Obamacare. House Speaker John Boehner stated the ruling of the Supreme Court shows that Obamacare needs to be repealed. There's been talk of a symbolic House vote to repeal Obamacare in July. Why? That's nothing but a dog-and-pony show. The best that the House can do at this point is to remove funding from the implementation of Obamacare? Why doesn't Boehner call for the defunding of Obamacare? That's what I would like to know.
