A great deal of gloating on one side, and gnashing of teeth on the other over the SCOTUS decision on ObamaCare. OS hasn't had time to read it through, and as of tonight, doesn't have the heart.
Brad DeLong, a liberal blogger, is tracking the story that Roberts changed his vote at the very last minute, after the opinion that was assumed to be the majority (striking the law down) had been sent to the printer.
Which lead OS to conclude that The Fix Was In. Back-door conversations between Obama's people and Roberts likely were underway long ago. With what did they threaten him? What was he promised?
In any case, he is young enough, and will live to be old enough, to see the horrible damage his decision to abandon the Constitution will create. It won't be punishment enough, but it will be a good beginning.
OS thinks, in the end, that Roberts decided to get along to go along. Let the voters and Congress sort it out, kick the can down the road. I live in an untouchable bubble anyway, so none of this affects me.
I'm a non-interventionist, after all. Congress cooked up this turkey, let Congress fix the problem.
So, it's up to us. If this terrible thing is to be repealed, it will require that every state legislature and both houses of Congress is occupied by fire-breathing and freedom-loving men and women who intend to restore the Constitution.
And it will require a Senate that will only appoint a federal bench that upholds the Constitution, from the top down.
It's a long shot, but it's the only one we've got.
