The Magic Of The Law

Fox News and CNN were shucked out of their jocks by Chief Justice Robert's siding with the left side of the court to support President Obama's health care reform law. Robert's had wandered off the range a month ago and the right-leaning judges failed to lead the stray back to pasture. They were especially angered by the Bush appointee's writing the decision defining the requirement for all Americans to have health coverage as a tax and he has been called a 'coward' and 'traitor' by right-thinking people afeared of the socialism of universal health care. Roberts was seriously concerned by how striking down the mandate would impact his legacy as a justice. "The framers created a federal government of limited powers, and assigned to this Court the duty of enforcing those limits. The Court does so today. But the Court does not express any opinion on the wisdom of the Affordable Care Act. Under the Constitution, that judgment is reserved to the people." I have never had to use a lawyer in my long life and now I know why. I can make sense of a word they say, but the truth will set you free.
