The Conservative Party USA congratulates El Presidente Obama and liberal Democrats for winning a momentous Supreme Court decision. SCOTUS upheld ObamaCare in general and the individual mandate in specific.
They won the legal argument fair and square so ObamaCare is now the Law of the Land. That’s how the Founders designed the system to function in a constitutional democracy like America: The Executive Branch promulgates a Law/Bill; the Legislative Branch debates and votes on it; the people redress the Judicial Branch if they don’t like that vote; and the Supreme Court decides who wins. That’s how we roll in America.
We also want to congratulate the liberal media for succeeding in their obvious efforts to intimidate SCOTUS judges prior to the ruling. It appears they found a weak link in Judge Roberts who was cowed by the prospect of getting pilloried for years by the New York Times and MSNBC. Roberts gave the media and Democrats a tidy roadmap on how manipulate the Court in future important cases. The Chief Justice capitulated and chose legacy over legality.
Roberts twisted himself into constitutional pretzel by ruling the individual mandate was actually a tax despite the fact that Obama himself had argued for years it was NOT. Every lower court rejected the notion the mandate was a tax. Everyone….until the Robert’s Court found a tax needle in that 2,400 page ObamaCare haystack.
Liberals always complained that 5-4 split decisions are “political” or “tainted”. We wonder how they’ll comment on this “radical, right-wing Court” now that it ruled in their favor.
But El Presidente Obama, the media and Democrats should know they only “won” a Pyrrhic victory. They will not be cheering and dancing in the streets come November. While SCOTUS ruled that ObamaCare didn’t violate the Constitution, Congress and the next president can still repeal it. You can bet that’s exactly what will happen in 2013 after Republicans and Conservatives retain control of the House and increase their leverage in the Senate.
Most Americans and Tea Party activists who opposed ObamCare in the first place are now seriously energized, enraged and more committed to Obama’s defeat than ever. SCOTUS did something even Romney has not yet accomplished: unite and energize true conservatives. That new conservative House will not fund key provisions of this monstrosity even if Romney doesn’t win.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s called a tax or a penalty. When people realize that ObamaCare actually adds 21 “tax/penalty” increases they’ll revile the Bill even more. The ruling will cost taxpayers more than $675 billion over 10 years and 12 of those hikes affect families earning less than $250,000/year. At a minimum!
Our dictator El Presidente Obama must defend his bleak economic record AND his unethical failure to enforce immigration laws AND the leaks of national security secrets to his media friends AND giving his “green” friends hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars to fund failed companies like Solyndra AND his flip-flop on gay marriage AND the “Fast and Furious” debacle. And now he must defend ObamaCare without using the Supreme Court as crutch.
Again, congratulations and good luck Democrats. Have a nice day!
