At what point in time will the American people realize they no longer control their federal government and move to restore the proper control to DC?
With the betrayal of the Constitution and of our federal system by the SCOTUS in the Obamacare ruling, with Roberts leading the way, is there any end to what the federal government can do to the states, to the people, or to the Constitution.
Roberts used the power of Congress to tax as the rationale for his ruling. Yet the Constitution requires, requires, that tax laws MUST originate in the US House. Obamacare does not meet that requirement since it was cobbled together behind closed doors in Dingy Harry Reid's office late at night. On this ground alone Roberts should have ruled the law unconstitutional!
However, it appears Roberts is more concerned about his standing in the DC establisment, what the Leftys and Liberals would say to him at the Georgetown cocktail parties, and how the Washington Post and the NY Times view him.
As the liberal media loves to say, "Roberts grew into his office"
Translation:
Roberts agrees with the liberal media.
Send $$ to The Tea Party.
It may be our last hope.

The Death of Federalism
...... killed by a 5-4 vote of the Supreme Court today.
SCOTUS upheld the constitutionality of Obamacare with Chief Justice Roberts siding with the socialists and writing the opinion. Roberts evaded the Commerce clause justification using instead the power of Congress to tax as the reason the law met his approval.
Obama declared numerous times in the past two years that the law would not raise taxes. I guess he was wrong on that point. So now if Congress decides it wants people to buy a certain product and they do not, then Congress has the power to "Tax" them for not buying that product.
Man! Just think of the possibilities here for Congress to raise funds to implement their pet projects and to take care of their friends.
Long live Federalism.
If you do not know and appreciate our Federalist system, such as it is after this disaster, shame on you.
