Roberts pulled a classic “Pearl Harbor job” on Obhammud. By ruling the bill would be paid for by a tax he made him the owner of the largest tax increase in the history of the nation. He is saddled with it and cannot get out from underneath it. The trademark smug demeanor displayed by Obhammud in announcing the bill had withstood the court challenge is but a fleeting vapor. Like the old saying goes, “What will make you laugh will make you cry”. Roberts was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers. Brilliant!

I believe Roberts was dead wrong with his decision, but that’s history now.

What he was doing, I am convinced now, was playing a game, and Drew pretty well nails it.

That said, though, Roberts should be well-enough grounded in the law to know that, when “interpreting” the Constitution, there is no room for games. His decision will have long-lasting, dramatic and severe ramifications that Roberts, in typical liberal mode, didn’t have a clue about. What he needed to do was go back to the Constitution instead of his liberal law books, reread the 10th Amendment and the entire original Constitution as modified by amendments, and decide whether the federal government has any business in being in business to begin with.

And one more thing. Several talking heads this weekend used the phrase “The fact of the matter is…”

I am convinced that at least 90% of the time when people use that phrase it is a red flag that either they don’t know what they’re talking about, they’re blowing smoke, or both.

I’ve read that Roberts have started taking medication to control epilepsy? If that is true, should he even be on the bench?

Just a quick note, Jim. Your attitude about “epilepsy” (now generally known as “seizure disorder) seems terribly 18th century, when people hid their embarrassment by hiding their epileptics.

I’ve a child who’s now in his 30s, has had a seizure disorder since he was 5, and has had two brain tumors removed. He functions terribly well for a self-taught (very little college education) licensed engineer, and hasn’t embarrassed his boss once with a seizure because his boss knows what they are all about…

That said, I can think of at least three other reasons Roberts should either step down (after the next president is sworn in) or be impeached, but as luck would have it, legislating from the bench is not an impeachable offense. Just ask any judge (while they whisper thanks to whatever their higher power is, a toad or somesuch).
