Have you noticed? Do you wonder?

Four Supreme Court justices (the smartest lawyers in the country) and 26 states and 65% of the public, and the many Churchs still think ObamaCare it is unconstitutional.  Based on the selling points given by the Democrates which wrote the Affordable Heathcare Act (dubbed ObamaCare) the legislation doesn't rely on taxes but on the Comerse Clause. The ruling 5 to 4 which included the unbiased opinion of Kagan who worked to pass the law and should have recused herself is it's constitutional because it's a tax. For you Democrats that are not aware I'll save a trip to the dictionary. Recuse means to disqualify (oneself) from participation to avoid a conflict of interest. How can a car salesman decide if people should drive cars or not? 

Why hasn't anyone at least called foul ball????

Where's the press? In the Obama camp
Where's the Democrats?  Making and drinking the cold cold Kool-aid. 

Where was Rush?  I guess even the great one misses sometimes. 
Where were the Republicans?  Trying not to seem partisan or hateful and pushing Obama Light aka Mitt Romney. 

My first choice for President would be Mike Huckabee if he had run again. Next for me Bobby Jindal, Newt Gingrich followed by Ron Paul. There are many others I'd choose ahead of Mitt including Rubio, Jeb Bush and one Democrat. Truthfully I JUST PLAIN DON'T WANT ROMNEY but if my hope for a brokered Republican convention fails I will cast for Romney as any Republican and many Democrats will far better represent both me and this great county better than Barack Obama has done with his endless blame George W. game, runaway spending and end runs around Congress and the United States Constitution via executive orders. He ignored Congress with his unilateral decision not to enforce immigration laws rather then let the legislative branch decide on the so called Dream Act. Far worse he has totally ignored the First Amendments restriction against government regulation of religion by ordering religious institutions to provide contraceptives even if in violation of their religious beliefs or morals. Finally at a time when his concentration should be upon the economy he chose to focus on Gay marriage. It's clear to all thinking individuals the Republicans must keep the House and gain the Senate and Presidency. Romney promises he will work to get ObamaCare out day one and despite the fact he was a bully 47 years ago I know of no reason not to trust him. Obama broke his promise of no added tax on those earning up to $250,000 with the tax on those earning $50,000 and less as legislated in ObamaCare. Please vote Romney if all the "Hope and Change" has you hoping for change. It will take a Republican this go ground to get Obama off his throne.

Call your Senator, your Congressman, talk radio and the Supreme Court. I never realized before there are checks and balances on all branches of government except the Supreme Court and the justices. Maybe there should be an impeachment process. Not even they should be above the law they're sworn to uphold.

Did you have a question in there?

Are you asking whether Justice Kagan should have recused herself? No, she should not. That she supported the bill means nothing to her ability to have a legal opinion on it. She receives no personal benefit because of the law, her previous support means nothing.

As for the supposed opposition by states or by the public or (the most ridiculous of all) the Churches, this means nothing. In 1850, the majority of US voters and states supported slavery, does that make it right? In any event, the people HAVE spoken, since the majority of their elected representatives PASSED this law. That is the only input that the voters get, although they can of course elect new representatives who could REPEAL the law. If 65% of the public really opposed it, why hasn't it been repealed?

Educate yourself and learn: the Supreme Court is independent for a reason. They, and they alone interpret the Constitution. They do not do so based on public opinion, nor pressure from states and churches. They do so based on the LAW. If you do not LIKE the way the Constitution is written, you are free to propose an Amendment to the document that will prevent the type of mandate provided in the bill. Until then, this ruling is 100% correct.

Yes, and two of the Activist Conservatarded Supreme Court Jesters had private/secret meeting with the KockBros before the Citizens United Travesty of Justice.
Furthermore, EVERY 'opinion' of a corporation should have seen one or MORE conservative justices recused. Read and Learn the facts. The Supreme Court has been made a mockery by the activist conservatives. That is the Truth, Facts, and Reality of the situation.
They never recuse themselves when they will BENEFIT DIRECTLY from their rulings.
Kegan is NOT benefitting directly by this.Your idiotic ideology and propaganda belief is the problem.
If you Foxtards would think instead of believe we would NOT have any of these problems.
Proof Bill Clinton = USA Great, Shrub = Divided in ruins.

Did you READ Roberts' decision?

Do you understand that (because the language in the Bill was lifted verbatim from the 1965 Medicare Bill) had Roberts' ruled the other way, that have opened the US Government up to MILLIONS & MILLIONS on "non-contestable" lawsuits from individuals demanding all Medicare & Medicaid "taxes" paid since 1965 back? And they would have to be paid back?

Call your High School....they want the Diploma they gave you back!

Appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States does not mean that one is one of the "smartest lawyers in the country", it means only that one is politician enough to have garnered enough political pull to receive that appointment.
The Supreme Court is charged with the determination of the constitutionality of the various laws passed by congress.
It has failed in that task many times in the past just as in this most recent failure in which the 'justice' who held the deciding vote was duly purchased by one side or the other and was instructed in what opinion to write.
