Impeach John Roberts

[^_^ 5,021]

Furious conservative activists lashed out Thursday in the blogosphere at Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts for siding with the left and upholding the individual mandate in “Obamacare,” with some even calling for his impeachment.

“It [the Affordable Care Act] will be dead on November 6th and then impeachment proceedings will conclude on January 20th against Justice Roberts,” wrote a commenter on the conservative blog Powerline.

“IMPEACH JUSTICE ROBERTS,” wrote a commenter at Hot Air.

“And Roberts? Really? I expect this of Kennedy but him? Yet another stealth socialist/statist as other contributors have pointed out,” added a commenter at Michelle Malkin’s blog.

“I still can’t believe it. We’d have the entire law thrown out, if Roberts hadn’t been more concerned with winning favor from the chattering class,” added another commenter on a different thread at Hot Air.

Twitter was ablaze with conservatives calling for the chief justice’s impeachment.

“Justice Roberts is a TRAITOR. Along with all the damn LIBERALS on court. IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH #SCOTUS,” said @jensan1332.

“Looks like I’m not alone on this,” wrote @tahDeetz, retweeting a note from @CnservativePunk, which read, “I am in a vengeful mood the next move Impeach John Roberts.”

“Impeach Roberts NOW and the rest of the #SCOTUS for upholding #Obamacare as a tax, still is un-Constitutional to force entry into markets!!!” wrote @denvercdavis.

“Let your cry be damn obama and impeach roberts!!”added @DrTEMorganSr.

...

RedState’s Erick Erickson reasoned that Roberts wanted to stay above the fray.

“John Roberts’ opinion seems to clearly suggest he wants to keep the Supreme Court out of political fights and was willing to destroy his reputation with conservatives to do it,” he wrote on his blog.

This is so much fun. I thought our government was seriously clogged - sort of of like 1916 at the Somme. Its like someone just ran a division of tanks through the German reserve trenches...

Can someone remind me what was the Republican's healthcare plan?

This decision should breathe new life into the Tea Party, maybe even get Romney elected. Meh. The country will probably be in default before November, so what does it matter?

Reform malpractice litigation and allow insurance companies to cross state lines.

DJIA is down over 1%

Your point?

"Medicaid-focused insurance companies post strong gains, with Wellcare Health Plans Inc. WCG +7.54% trading up 8%, Molina Healthcare Inc. MOH +5.58% gaining more than 6% and Amerigroup Corp. AGP +4.54% adding more than 6%.

Hospital shares soared with some making double-digit gains. Industry leader HCA Holdings Inc. HCA +8.68% rallied nearly 11%, while Community Health Systems Inc.CYH +6.32% gained by more than 7%. Tenet Healthcare Corp. THC +5.42% rose nearly 7% and Health Management Associates Inc. HMA +9.23% gained more than 7%.

"We see the promise of more than 30 million new patients gaining insurance in [2014] remaining intact, boosting hospital earnings through reduction of uncompensated care expense, which we estimate has been more than 20% over the past few years," S&P Capital analyst Steven Silver said in a note to clients."

The market being down has nothing to do with the Supreme Court ruling.

The sour graping in the quote above is much akin to the liberal circle jerk that took place here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/375245-the-mandate-is-constitutional/

Complete over reaction on both sides.

And just for the record, I'm in favor of Universal Healthcare, but not so much the Obamacare plan.

Well yes, Obamacare isn't good enough but it's a step in the right direction towards the single payer system. If the Republicans had their way the previous system would stay in place in years to come putting more and more Americans out of access to health care services.
