The Chief Justice Done
Good

This article is for those of us not
trained in law and highlights four salient points to think about regarding
ObamaCare and the recent Supreme Court Ruling.
First, almost
completely unnoticed, the Chief Justice voted with his four conservative
colleagues in drawing an unprecedented red line against Washington wielding the
Constitution's Commerce Clause in the future to justify federal intrusion into
the personal lives of Americans. This decision will restrict American
Presidents and future Congresses for a generation and
more.
There
is now a formal United States Supreme Court opinion on the books, holding that
the federal government may not wield the Commerce Clause to impose on American
citizens the obligation to buy health insurance or anything else we do not
want.
Chief
Justice Roberts returned Obamacare front-and-center back into the November
elections debate. Defining it for what it really is -- a new, enormous federal
tax on at least four million Americans
Third, the Chief
Justice has shifted the spotlight back onto Congress, primarily focusing its
glare on the Democrat-run U.S. Senate, only four months before the elections.
Fourth, the Chief Justice, while
permitting the federal government to offer states more money to expand their
Medicaid rolls beyond their fiscal capabilities, joined with his four
conservative colleagues in banning Washington from penalizing states that turn
down the federal inducements to march towards bankruptcy. As a result, the
working poor will find that the federal government, while taxing them to buy new
health coverage, has been left without a mechanism to compel others to pay for
the ObamaCare state insurance exchanges. So the feds will have to pay for it in
non-cooperating states that are more fiscally prudent. Only more taxes can pay
for those costs.
