    Guess he was a better constitutional scholar than people gave him credit for being.

  • Fuzzy_Bunny

    6-3 vote, it wasn't even close.

  • Fuzzy_Bunny

    But: "The court reinforces that individuals can simply refuse to pay the tax and not comply with the mandate."

  • Gigi

    Tea party meeting tonight ..... just watch us.

  • Fuzzy_Bunny

    Drudge originally said it was a 6-3 decision - but now reports are 5-4?

  • Honey

    So like in Arizona the court abdicated its responsibility and tells us we can simply refuse to pay the tax. well, bully for us.
    Now we MUST elect Romney. We MUST and he must do as he promised and overturn it.

  • Honey

    What the court is doing is being constitutional. It is not legislating from the bench. The one time I wouldn't have minded if it did. So liberals who are so worried that a right wing court will harm them never had anything to worry about.
    It is throwing it back to the legislature. Our 2010 elected conservatives must begin the process of overturning.
    If this guy gets reelected....I don't want to finish this sentence.

  • Honey

    The court reinforces that individuals cant simply refuse to pay tax and not comply with mandate.

    That was on the Drudge report so it says we must pay the tax, yes?

  • Gigi

    obama has to hawk it as a tax, not a mandate, because it violates the Commerce Clause; so his "upheld" mandate = tax on the people; it can't fly except as a tax

  • Gigi

    Since the early 1900's, this was bound to happen sooner or later -- it so happens we are witnessing it today, but it has been a long time brewing. The hope is that this will be the kick the citizenry needs to get their collective ****sses in gear and push back the red hordes that are sucking the life out of our country. Today I expected a bad ruling, frankly, after the Arizona fiasco. But while most of us commenters here don't need a bad ruling to be energized, it's not the same for the rest of the country; the apathy is well entrenched when ppl pay no attention to what's being done to them. IMHO, our only hope now is that the voters' reaction will be lethal to this govt.

  • Fuzzy_Bunny

    Nice one, George. Babalu, home of the homophobic put-downs.

  • Hey Fuzzy, how's this for homophobic: GO FUCK YOURSELF.

  • Fuzzy_Bunny

    "obama has to hawk it as a tax, not a mandate"

    Gigi, I do not believe he has to "hawk" it in that way at all. What's done is done. He can call it whatever he wants.

    OTOH, Romney can now attack it as a tax, one designated as such by SCOTUS.

  • Fuzzy_Bunny

    Nice one, George. Babalu, home of civility and reasoned discourse.

  • Fuzzy, you should change your name to Funny_Bunny since it's funny how you only crawl out of your rabbit hole when you want to gloat. But hey, I can't say I blame you. Even though Obamacare backed into this SCOTUS victory (it is a tax, contrary to the lies told to the American people by the Democrats) it's a victory nonetheless for you and those of your ilk. Enjoy it while you can.

    As the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for... you just might get it.

    You and your candidate got your Obamacare, and now Obama is the author and owner of the largest, most intrusive, most hated tax increase in human history.

    This is going to be fun

  • FreedomForCuba

    "As the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for... you just might get it."

    Absolutely Alberto,

    Fuzzy is going to enjoy it even more when he's impacted by the train wreck Obama is bringing to our country. Then he won't be in such gloating mode.

    I'll bet many of those celebrating today won't be in such happy mood a few years from now when they real costs of ObamaCare start impacting the American economy in a negative way.

  • Fuzzy_Bunny

    Alberto, if you look carefully you will observe that my name is ALREADY fuzzy_bunny so there is no reason for me to change it to that. I will cut you some slack, assuming you are still completing ESL classes.

    George, as much as I love how foolish your homophobic comments directed towards my 'woody' and my ass make you look, they really do reflect poorly on Babalu given that you are one of its official writers, and given that I previously insulted no one in this thread and was merely commenting factually on what was occurring in real time.

    You wonder why so few people outside of a tiny, tiny local community take Babalu seriously? George, you are Babalu's worst enemy. You should be supporting anyone who wants a free Cuba, regardless of their politics.

    Allow me to leave you with some words to live by from founding father Ben Franklin:

    "Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none."

    And as George Washington said:

    "Every Action done in Company, ought to be with Some Sign of Respect, to those that are Present."

    • Really? Really? You're going to lecture me? Today? Who the fuck do you think you are? I don't give a rat's ass about your opinion or your pretend civility or your pretend concern with Cuba. You're a bomb-throwing leftist troll. You come here only to gloat when it suits your side. You are a shill for people that want to do harm to this country.

      Ben Franklin never met the leftist asswipes we have to deal with on a daily basis.

      Allow me to leave you with some words I live by from me, Pitbull:

      FUCK OFF.

  • Fuzzy, I assume you either just breezed through my comment or you need glasses, but read again and you'll notice I said you should change your name to FUNNY bunny. Perhaps you are the one still working on those ESL classes. I suggest you take some civics classes as well, but make sure you take your time when reading your textbook so as not to make a fool of yourself.

    And as for your Washington quotation, you should think about applying that wisdom to your own behavior.

    It seems every time you come to Babalu you are only interested in agitating and antagonizing its readers and writers. That, my friend, is not very respectful, civic, or sociable. I have no issue with you doing that since we maintain this an open forum, but don't poke the pitbull with a stick and then start whining and bitching when he sinks his teeth into you. You know exactly what upsets George and you're always more than happy to pick a fight. If you don't want to get bit, no lo busques. Otherwise, jodate.

  • FreedomForCuba

    Fuzzy if I was you I wouldn't involve the founding fathers in the discussion as George said they never had to deal with the lefty epidemic that has taken over America today.

    I'm certain our founding fathers are rolling in their graves these days witnessing from heaven the abyss America is being driven to.

    The founding fathers would not like this lefty epidemic that is bent on destroying our country's freedoms, destroying our capitalist system and separating the American people from its faith in God the Almighty.

    I have a feeling the founding fathers would have treated the lefty epidemic very much the same way they treated traitors to the American Revolution.
