ROMNEY ON OBAMATAX: SUPREME COURT SAID OBAMA BROKE HIS TAX PROMISE

VIDEO: SCOTUS MAKES A LIAR OF OBAMA

One point that has been missed by our friends on the left, as they celebrate the SCOTUS travesty, is that yesterday’s ruling confirmed Obama as a liar on the true nature of the mandate. The Roberts decision said the mandate was a tax, and therefore constitutional. Well, then, what does that make the President? Watch [...]

THE SUPREME COURT WILL RULE ON FOUR OBAMACARE QUESTIONS TODAY

By lunchtime, the Supreme Court will have ruled on four seperate issues relating to ObamaCare: (1) Anti-Injunction Act (AIA): The AIA forbids legal challenges to taxes before they go into effect.

THE PRESSURE ON ROBERTS INCREASES

Chief Justice John Roberts has been receiving a lot of pressure from the Democrats and their media lickspittles about how he should conduct himself in the ObamaCare case. Last month, Democrat Senator Partick Leahy offered this diatribe from the floor of the Senate: And, during the past couple of weeks, Politico has issued thinly-veiled threats [...]

WILL ROBERTS AUTHOR THE SUPREME COURT’S MAJORITY OPINION ON OBAMACARE?

According to veteran Court watchers, it’s virtually certain that Chief Justice John Roberts will write the majority opinion. That’s probably good news for those of us who want the mandate to do down. Avik Roy explains: Roberts was skeptical [during oral arguments] of the mandate’s constitutionality, and understood that the mandate is really about cross-subsidization, [...]

THE SUPREME IRONY OF OBAMACARE’S CONSTITUTIONAL TRAVAILS

My column in today’s American Spectator discusses the ironic fact that ObamaCare may be struck down because it contains an individual insurance mandate, something the President campaigned against in 2008: If the Supreme Court strikes down ObamaCare later this month, the ruling will be based on the inability of five or more justices to reconcile [...]

VIDEO: PELOSI PREDICTS OBAMACARE WILL BE UPHELD 6-3

The closer we get to judgement day, the more hysterical ObamaCare’s supporters get. During the past week or so, we have seen Democrat Senator Patrick Leahy all but threaten the Chief Justice and we have read countless op-eds by left-leaning legal scholars claiming that only a hopelessly corrupt, right wing Court would strike ObamaCare down. Now, [...]
