Healthcare, POTUS, and Pyrrus


Suprise! The Supreme Court- with Chief Justice Roberts joining the liberals- has unexpectedly ruled Obamacare constitutional.

Disagreeing with President Obama, it interpreted the mandate as a tax.

The stock market responded to the ruling by taking a tumble. Describing Republicans with a noun usually associated with kennels, DNC executive director Patrick Gaspard gloated. He shouldn't have.

The mandate is hugely unpopular with a public much less polarized over the issue than the New York Times article linked to above suggests. If I were Mitt Romney, I'd be doing cartwheels right now. He's just been handed a huge issue.

Sure, the decision is a victory for President Obama- just like Hereclea and Asculum were for King Pyrrus (above, right).

Like Pyrrus, POTUS will have cause to rue his victory.

The only problem is, I have no confidence a president Willard Romney would reverse the mandate.

Fun fact! On his website, Romney promises to As president, nominate judges in the mold of Chief Justice Roberts.

Thanks, but no thanks, Romney!

The only problem is, as a supporter in denial of racist nutter Ron Paul, we already know that your political judgment is worthless. This particular judgment of yours is even more bizarre and groundless than most.

As to Roberts, it's typical Paulist logic to fixate on one bad decision and ignore the rest of the man's record. After all, one of the advantages of being an extremist is that you aren't burdened with the necessity of dealing with reality.
