Surprise: our new leftist supreme court

Posted on July 5, 2012 | Comments Off on Surprise: our new leftist supreme court


UPDATE: One of the most risible of CJ Roberts’ excuses for joining the lockstep liberals in upholding Obamacare with its power grab of one third of our faltering economy was that it was the court’s job to uphold, not kill, federal statutes. Then, quietly, the court killed 32 of 33 other laws—including Arizona’s attempt to control its own border with Mexico since the corrupt feds refuse to do it. Cretin.

    That’s misplaced optimism. (See her update at top of the post, wishing she’d written something else.) The branches of government are supposed to check and balance each other, not all march into the sunset, arm-in-arm, singing solidarity songs.

    If this continues, if, say, Obama is re-elected and Republicans do not take back Congress and provide a balance on the federal see-saw, the only recourse will be passive resistance. And, if that doesn’t work, then armed revolution.

    Which might not be far off, anyhow, as more and more people discover just how crooked our federal politicians and bureaucrats really are.

    Uh – oh, I didn’t see the update when providing the link.

    But I hope you are too pessimistic in this case. Notice who is saying this 😉

    Who is saying what? A lot of people, like her, interpreted Roberts one way based on preliminary reports, many of which turned out to be only partly true. Now they see the decision another way.

    My pessimism about revolution is probably misplaced, itself, but a lot of people are fed up with these crooked bastards and there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Passive resistance will probably carry the day, since the risk is smaller than shooting it out. Just on the subject of Obamacare, for instance, the healthy young can pay a few hundred dollars a year in penalty for not getting insurance, versus the thousands it costs each year, until they really need it and then get it. Meanwhile, the Obamacare house of cards falls apart for lack of participation.
