Roberts doesn’t love “socialized medicine” or anything like that; he’s just not fond with the Commerce Clause being used here. Declaring it a “tax” instead is quite clever. ---

I don’t think the OP was picking on the south exclusively. The Impeach Warren stickers were used by hayseeds and rednecks. Look at the electoral map of today- the states that you can automatically color in red before either nominee is named are pretty easy to list by anyone who follows politics- those were the fertile grounds for the anti-Warren movement of old. That isn’t to say that southerners don’t deserve our condescending ridicule. Indianans and Kansans may be ignorant hayseeds, but at least they aren’t fucking inbred hillbilly redneck traitorous rebels. ---

I’m not mad at Roberts. I don’t really care much about the Constitutionality (???) arguments. I just wonder how America is going to _pay_ for this. We cannot afford jack shit. We are deeply in debt as a nation and its only getting worse. Foisting this debt burden upon our children and grandchildren is downright criminal. There will be no good future for this country if we don’t reverse course WRT spending immediately. And before you get all “mouth breather” on me, its not just UHC…its \*everything \*we waste money on…wars, unnecessary regulation/studies/whatever, etc. ---

> [@FoieGrasIsEvil](#): > > I just wonder how America is going to _pay_ for this. We cannot afford jack shit. Fortunately, socialized medicine is cheaper than our current system. Unfortunately, since it’s paid for by the ebil goverment, ideologues might refuse to pay for it while simultaneously not being able to repeal it due to its popularity (hearkening back to the spend-and-spend days of the 2000s). That’s the real issue, not whether America overall can afford it. In a way, we can’t afford _not_ to. ---

Well…it kinda was our Golden Age…the big war was over, the economy was stable, Americans were on the move, cars were cool, gas was cheap, and most importantly…people were polite, didn’t use drugs or potty language and black people knew their place! Those were halcyon days! ---

It’s kinda funny how I haven’t heard a single person who is unhappy with the result in Citizens United make that suggestion yet within a few hours of the ACA decision the loons on Free Republic were already calling for Roberts impeachment. ---

> [@samclem](#): > > I’ll lay odds there will be such billboards erected within the week saying “impeach John Roberts.” In those same hotbeds of pointy-headed ignorants. Bear in mind that in the weeks prior to the decision, when there was a lot of speculation that the Act would be struck down, we heard several commentators on the opposite end of the political spectrum predicting that to overturn the Act would wreck the legitimacy of the Court. Functionally the same thing as “impeach so-and-so.” ---
