Here is my take on the decision, for what it's worth.<br /><br />I believe Chief Justice Roberts is more wise than many are giving him credit for. I suspect there was a deal understood among the five conservative justices to throw a political hand grenade into the upcoming November elections.<br /><br />To accomplish that, it would be necessary for one of the five conservatives to vote with the four liberals to "uphold" (but not exactly) Obamacare. Roberts was the volunteer, but he cut a strong deal with the liberals in the process. The deal was that he would write the decision, that the decision would slam the door on creating yet another expansion of Congress's Interstate Commerce Clause Power to regulate Americans, and that Obamacare would be clearly defined as a tax (not a regulatory effort).<br /><br />In construing Obamacare as a tax, Roberts availed himself of a great opportunity to educate the voters of America. He warned voters that it is not the job of the Supreme Court to protect voters from the folly of electing bad people to Congress or the Oval Office. What Roberts didn't say overtly, but is within the message of the decision, it: "You voters really screwed up when you voted to elect a bunch of power mongers to Congress and the White House. You have the chance to do better this coming November."<br /><br />So now the largest tax increase in American history is the dead Albatross hanging around the neck of a lot of incumbent politicians who pushed Obamacare through Congress. That will be a huge liability for them in November, an especially good campaign tool for those opposed to this huge tax and running against the incumbents, if the challengers exploit the issue well. Further, a wooden stake is driven through the heart of the theory that Congress may force people to buy stuff they don't want under the guise of regulating commerce among the states.<br /><br />Finally, because Obamacare is now clearly defined as a tax, it makes yet again a grand liar out of Obama, it raises the pressure for Congress to repeal the entire package, AND it practically limits the penalties for those who don't go along.<br /><br />Not a bad outcome.<br /><br />Gary Marbut, president<br />Montana Shooting Sports Association<br /><br />All Rights Reserved To Gary Marbuttomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230665595988628546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-90292235736998182162012-07-05T00:09:34.318-05:002012-07-05T00:09:34.318-05:00On July 3, 1776, Founding Patriot John Adams wrote...On July 3, 1776, Founding Patriot John Adams wrote to his beloved wife, Abigail, on this very topic:<br /><br />Yesterday, the greatest question was decided, which ever was debated in America, and a greater, perhaps, never was or will be decided among men. You will see in a few days a Declaration setting forth the causes which have impelled us to this mighty revolution, and the reasons which will justify it in the sight of God and man. ... It ought to be commemorated as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shews, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this Continent to the other from this time forward forever more. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will triumph in that Day's Transaction.jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12850395662800864408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-27567067036020845012012-07-04T22:51:54.976-05:002012-07-04T22:51:54.976-05:00Hooah.Hooah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-26842713224487240482012-07-04T19:37:48.303-05:002012-07-04T19:37:48.303-05:00Happy Independence Day.

I was disappointed with the ruling for a fraction of a second but quickly noted that with the terms defined, we had a strategic advantage to press now with Obama. As many have noted, he can't say he didn't raise taxes now. Now he's either a liar or a liar instead of a weasel or a liar. The difference is subtle but important. Not one American voter should have a logical leg to stand on in supporting this chump. Justifying voting for this guy is becoming increasingly difficult. <br /><br />And, at the end of the day, I'd rather the court just say what they think and not make law. Obamacare is such a cluster it will grind out the grist from each state that tries the ludicrously expensive proposition of enacting a State level exchange. Those smart enough to vote in constitutional protections against employer mandates (another key lynch pin where absence means failure for Obaminationcare) will quickly realize an economic advantage over those willing to play along. <br /><br />Obamacare will not now be enacted in full over night. We've just crawled off the open field of conflict into the trenches. The courts decision, had it gone the other way, would have ensured a quick victory and stoked the fire of the left... something we want to avoid as an election approaches. <br /><br />Now it will become increasingly clear what is and who are Statist in our midst - even to common voters. What's that Senator? It was a huge lie and I will have a 6% tax increase? WTF? I think that's going to be a common train of thought in the run up to the election and that's exactly what we want.Christian Patriot IIInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-45514075386573887092012-07-04T12:33:18.245-05:002012-07-04T12:33:18.245-05:00Cool.
