Yes, in a vote of 5-4, the Supreme Court (infested with Leftists appointed by 0bama and that POS Anthony Kennedy nominated by a REAGAN!) uphold the illegal, un-constitutional 0bumaCare.
The Constitution just died a little more.
Justice Kennedy is a treasonous, un-principled little weasel - never mind joining Leftist-stacked court of Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan, Satan-Ginsberg.

Bad source.
It was Roberts who joined the Left this time.
Kennedy wrote the dissent and was going for overturning the entire law.
We have a new Chief Justice Souter on our hands.

The bad news for Obama and the dems is that it's been declared a tax, so they get stuck with creating a new tax during a recession/depression.
Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Obamacare
In a victory for the New Deal bastardization of the Constitution, the Supreme Court has ruled that the government can mandate at gunpoint that Americans buy monopolized health care insurance.
“The Supreme Court upheld the health care law today in a splintered, complex opinion that appears to give President Obama a major victory,” reports USAToday.
In order to avoid arguments that the law is a misinterpretation of the Commerce Clause, the Court ruled that the requirement is a tax.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, who held the court’s swing vote, dissented. Reading from the bench, Kennedy said he and three conservative justices believe “the entire Act before us is invalid in its entirety.”
Polls conducted prior to the landmark vote indicate most Americans do not favor the law.
Today’s ruling is important because it is the first time in history that the federal government has required citizens enter into contract with private corporations to buy a product or service. It also represents one of the most egregious violations of the Constitution in American history.
“The insurance mandate clearly exceeds the federal government’s powers under the interstate commerce clause found in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution,” writes Ron Paul. “This is patently obvious: the power to ‘regulate’ commerce cannot include the power to compel commerce! Those who claim otherwise simply ignore the plain meaning of the Constitution because they don’t want to limit federal power in any way.”
“The commerce clause was intended simply to give Congress the power to regulate foreign trade, and also to prevent states from imposing tariffs on interstate goods. In Federalist Paper No. 22, Alexander Hamilton makes it clear the simple intent behind the clause was to prevent states from placing tolls or tariffs on goods as they passed through each state — a practice that had proven particularly destructive across the many principalities of the German empire.”
Expect death panels to come back in a big way now that Obamacare is the law of the land. Now that there is no fear of political backlash, death panels will be sold as a measure to reduce medical costs which will predictably skyrocket (as costs do of anything government touches).
If you are skeptical of this, consider a recent report in Britain. “NHS doctors are prematurely ending the lives of thousands of elderly hospital patients because they are difficult to manage or to free up beds, a senior consultant claimed yesterday,” the Daily Mail reported last week.
It is being sold as a “death pathway” that is the equivalent of euthanasia of the elderly.

Couple bits of tragic news there, eh? Truth is the Republic has been on national hari-kari watch since 1965. Comrade 0buma remains the USA's Microwave of Destruction....the more tragic news is he's found even more treasonous friends on high places.
That said, we finally found out what many have warily expected eventually from Roberts....That he was the Black Widower Spider in-waiting and a Dem Operative. He was ALWAYS destined to be Bush's and the Globalist Elites' Trojan Horse Ace in the Hole.
Dubya and his Neo-Trojan Horse Enemy-Within Brigade were and are up to his EYEBALLS in screwing this country...
However 0bumaCare on a national scale is STILL 0buma's baby. Yes, Bush and Romney (there IS a difference of state vs. national governance) have certainly undermined the authority of The People and bear their share of responsibility respectively on setting up this Epic Fail...
QUESTION: WAS this yet another Statist edict (much like the Patriot Act) that was slated and planned by the Elites 10-15 years ago until the "time-was-right"?
One thing is certain - we're just one more GIANT step closer to a fascist dictatorship and several steps further away from the Founders' ideals and a Constitutional Republic.
Today's decision for me has exposed more than just a simple difference of opinion by a supposed "conservative" Supreme Court Justice...
Many of us remember how Dubya Bush tried in vain to foist his personal neo/globalist patsy, Harriet Miers upon the SC - having already foisted the now nakedly fake conservative Roberts upon us (nominated and oddly appointed as CHIEF Justice with nary a whisper of opposition curiously from the Dems if you recall...)
And if you recall, it took an uproarous opposition and GOP-conservative mutiny to demand a real conservative be nominated and appointed - we wound up with Sam Alito.
So the trend of Republican Presidents appointing one conservative AND one liberal justice (instead of appointing as partisan as Dem do without exception) has continues as now demonstrated - THE difference in the governance of the country leaning decidedly LEFT and Globalist since Nixon began alternating conservative and liberal SC justices (nominated Harry Blackmon, author of Roe v Wade).

I found this response on the Obama healthcare Health Tax thread over at The Ulsterman Report to be interesting:
Elliott June 28, 2012 at 9:52 pm .Not only did Roberts limit the Commerce and Necessary and Proper Clauses, he got the idiot liberal justices to go along with it. The Commerce clause is used by congress to expand its power, Necessary and Proper is used to cram social policies down citizens and the states throat. By limiting those powers (arguably rolling them back), and with Liberal backing, he is hamstringing Congress in the future and inviting future cases.
By writing that Congress could TAX for any reason they wanted, Roberts threw it back into the political arena where it belongs. The penalty for the mandate IS A TAX. Penalties, interest, fees, etc paid to government are taxes and are used not only for revenue but to change or modify behavior. The penalty is a tax to modify behavior. The remedy is political and the Liberal justices agreed to it. The Liberal Justices handed the the political cudgel to Romney. What dupes.
The furor over the ObamaCare act resulted in the drubbing that Democrats took in 2010. It died down when people knew that it was going to be decided by the courts. Both sides assumed it would be upheld or stuck and it disappeared for a while from the political landscape. It has now come roaring back after the Court has flipped all of the political calculations on their head. Roberts plays the long game.
Link to thread and many more comments is here: WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: OBAMACARE …”Now we are truly ready to fight.”
Am I being naive and idealistic? If so...I'll take that over suicidal.

The problem with that is now they won't need the commerce clause. They will just say any tax in constitutional.
Also where is healthcare on the list of enumerated powers.

How do we combat this? Do you think anything will change if Romney gets elected?
It will at least be interesting to see who Romney chooses as his practice debate partner. (Obama chose John Kerry after doing some profiling.)
