Chief Justice Wimp

Yes, that's what I said.  Chief Justice Roberts is a wimp.  The greatest political battle since the Civil War and he wimped out.  He wimped out in two distinct areas.

First, he sided with the liberals to call the Individual Mandate Constitutional for exactly the wrong reason. In effect he says in his majority opinion that the "penalty" imposed by the mandate is Unconstitutional then went ahead and gave the Government a freebie saying it's really a tax, even though nowhere in the law is a tax mentioned. Had the bill referred to the "Penalty" as a tax I would have to agree with Roberts opinion. But it uses that word no where in the bill, Obama himself along with his staff insist and continue to insist this is NOT A TAX. El Presidente' cannot have it both ways.

Secondly, he struck down the penalty to the States for failing to employ the "Exchange" and expand Medicaid. By doing so he unwittingly called into question the lack of a "Severability Clause." If part of the bill is struck, that strikes the entire bill.  But he let the remainder of the bill stand.

Then in his wimpy opinion he seems to say, "Let the voters decide."  The voters?  Deciding is Roberts job to adjudicate those issues placed before him. Now it seems it's the job of the voter. Maybe it should be the job of the voter to dethrone Justices who wimp.
