Roberts is either trying to pull off a reverse-triple-lindy-double-head-fake, designed to make Obama pay a political price for raising taxes, or his epilepsy medication has finally failed.
Seriously, there is no rational basis for the Supreme Court decision. OBAMA: It's not a tax! ROBERTS: Good thing. If it was, we couldn't rule on it, because we can't rule on a tax that hasn't been collected yet. OBAMA: It's not a penalty! ROBERTS: Good thing, it would be unconstitutional if it was. Waaaay outside commerce clause, dude. OBAMA: It's a penalty! ROBERTS: Not it isn't silly. You want this thing to be upheld, don't you? OBAMA: Right, I mean, it's not a penalty! ROBERTS: Right, it's a tax, and what's wrong with that, after all? Government can tax any kind of economic activity, including economic inactivity, eh? OBAMA: Rock on, dude. ROBERTS: So, can you take back all that mean stuff you said at the SOTU? OBAMA: Only if you let illegal immigrants flood into Arizona and strip states of the right to object. ROBERTS: Deal! - Publius On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 10:00 PM, jerry foote <[email protected]> wrote: > I'am very, very sorry.
