WHY DID ROBERTS SWITCH SIDES?



More and more legal scholars are reaching the conclusion that Chief Justice John Roberts switched his vote and opinion late in the game.  An examination of Justice Kennedy’s minority opinion suggests that wording was changed at the last moment to reflect that it was a minority opinion as opposed to a majority opinion. 

The question now is, “Why?”

Perhaps it was Obama’s incessant telephone calls to the Court to try and sway them.  Maybe the IRS paid Roberts a visit.  One of the White House Czars could have threatened him with a move for impeachment.  Whatever it was, it surely must have been an overwhelming conclusion for him to make. 

As the dust settles, the Republicans are vowing to repeal ObamaCare starting July 15th, but they have to get it past a Republican-controlled Senate and his royal highass Barack Obama himself.  The odds against this tactic being successful are 150 to 1. 

We’re now discovering that the last-minute switch left the decision rife with unanswered questions and murky conclusions.  And, the fact that the decision altered the healthcare act itself by declaring it to be a tax issue means that taxes and costs associated with the plan are going to escalate at higher percentages than what we’ve seen over the past two years, and they were at 20% to 30%. 

The sudden change in Robert’s decision created a disaster of yet-to-be determined proportions.   The end result was a piss-poor mix of legal gobble-de-gook that will give us Americans heartburn for decades to come. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
