I want to expand on my comments from this past Thursday. I stand by my words ... "the second tower just fell." I was of course making a metaphorical analogy. Last week was a grand and deadly attack from within. It was the greatest act of terror since 911.
It wasn't the immigration ruling itself that started the attack. It was the administrations reaction to the ruling that was abominable. The federal government is charged by the constitution with providing for the common defense. That means protecting the territory from invaders. Border jumpers are not immigrants. The term illegal immigrant is a purposeful misnomer. A foreign national does not attain the status of immigrant until he or she has completed the immigration process. Border jumpers are foreign invaders not illegal immigrants. This extra-constitutional government is ignoring its duty. Obama tipped us off to the fact that he himself was tipped off about this ruling. The week before the ruling he shoehorned in some defacto amnesty (it was a nice little preview of what was to come). He somehow knew that the court was not going to give border enforcement power to the states because it is one of the Federal Governments enumerated powers. Arizona can now check the status of anyone trekking through the neighborhood until they're blue in the face ... the Feds are just going to let the phone ring and purposefully slow down the process ... So the federal government is going to do what it does best ... remain a beacon of mediocrity, corruption, sloth, and inefficiency. But I'm sure they will get health care right ... Oh, goodness just give me the blue pill and let me end it already! Oh, but you would like that Mr. Federal Government ... wouldn't you now!
All last week when people would ask me, "What do you think will happen on the Obamacare ruling." I said over and over again, "The mandate will be struck down, but the court will find a way to implement it anyway."
... and so it was.
Now that we are learning about how Roberts flipped his vote late in the process, it is clear that Obama had the inside track again. Do you remember his demeanor in the days following the closing of the oral arguments? He looked fit to be tied! He was pissed ... and you could tell! It was clear that he thought it would be struck down. That's why nobody got it right in the media. Obama himself, being so thin skinned, could not dampen his displays of displeasure. Everybody said the law was toast because Obama himself thought it was toast!
The metamorphosis of this incubating dictator is almost complete ... and he is cutting his teeth on the constitution.
There should be an investigation into whether or not Roberts was threatened or coerced in any way by this administration (or other nefarious individuals or organizations).
... and another thing!
