I received this from Kim Kaufman in another group, my comment is, geez, now the SCOTUS can make laws as well as elect Presidents. What ever happened to the Government process where we had three central government areas, so no one financial entity could control the whole Government?
Scott --------- <Kim wrote and copied> This is a comment made by a lawyer on a facebook discussion re SCOTUS decision. I had suggested listening to a radio show in LA I heard this afternoon (Left Right and Center on KCRW): "Just listened to it from the website. Pretty good summary of the problems of the decision from John Eastman-- and he didn't mince words about the importance of these problems, going as far to say that this decision opens the doors to increased federal taxing authority of the kind that brought us to the point of revolution against England. Hyperbolic, maybe, but not outrageously so. The taxing powers found in the constitution are very limited and enumerated-- and THIS power that Roberts used is not there. This is an extra-constitutional power, and now that it's been applied, it has precedent and can be repeated as deemed necessary. Therefore ALL people, regardless of political ideology, or regardless of how you view this particular law, should feel a sense of deep trepidation that their federal government has discovered new and sweeping taxing powers that it DID NOT have prior to 6/28/2012." Perhaps Roberts really stepped over the line in "legislating from the bench." Kim "Remember, itÂ’s only class war when we fight back."
