[quote]As far as the partisan nature of the court – in this case Roberts *didn’t* vote in a partisan fashion. Are you saying you wish he had? Or are you complaining about the 8’s predictable votes? [/quote]
The 7-8 predictable votes. Where any kind of relatively 50-50 legislation is a 5-4 vote. Things should either be constitutional or not most decisions should be 9-0 maybe 7-2 We have a mechanism to amend the constitution if it’s truly something the people want. The problem is our 2 party system has succeeded at dividing us down the middle on silly stuff like God guns and gays and there’s no room for a good decision where a constitutional amendment would succeed. People just want to be on the winning side instead of the good decision side.
Maybe the ACA is a good law but when half like it half don’t like it and 99% don’t really know how it really affects them it’s scary how adamant people get about it.
