Leaked Email proves Obama administration pressured Supreme Court in ObamaCare case. (Democrats, Republicans)

[nononsenseguy]

Roberts was under extreme pressure when he caved on ObamaCare and decided that the penalty was not a penalty but a tax.

Regardless of whatever lobbying Obama did, the decision was Roberts' alone to make. He made the right one.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with putting pressure on Supreme Court Justices as long as you can just say, hey the justice made the decision.

Sorry, but that's not going to justify interference with the Supreme Court by the White House.

There is no evidence the White House interfered in any way. They made their case, as did the other side.

You gotta love the mental gymnastics that went into that opinion. Regardless of what we think of Obamacare, the decision was poorly reasoned.

For example, the individual mandate is both a penalty and a tax in different sections from one another. It's a penalty for purposes of the anti tax injunction act, yet inexplicably a tax under the taxing power. Seems legit.

Sure when Obama got the message to Roberts that he and his family may have a misfortunate accident if he ruled against 0-Care. You know that's the way democrats roll.

A JSCOTUS has the most secure job in the United States, with a life appointment, incredibly hard to impeach. If they don't have the guts to stand up to pressure they don't deserve the job.

If Obamacare was implemented by republicans it would be a national failure on every media network

More whining just because Obama snuffed the Republicans again.
