Supremely Political: Did Roberts Pen BOTH Opinions?

By: savejersey (Diary)  |  July 6th at 02:05 PM  | 

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com The ObamaCare backstory gets worse all the time, Save Jerseyans. We can never really know what happened in chambers. That said, emerging anonymous accounts seem to comport with what we can plainly observe about this repugnant capitulation to unconstitutional, unrestrained big government by Chief Justice John Roberts. It was supremely political. Be assured, I’m not leveling this charge simply | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Thanks to Chief Justice Roberts’s ObamaCare decision, Save Jerseyans, it may no longer matter how broadly the Commerce Clause is construed by jurists, scholars and legislators. As of last Thursday, the U.S. Congress can regulate interstate commerce by imposing “taxes” on both acts and omissions via the suddenly-unrestrained federal taxing power. The real difference in layman’s terms? Until now, | Read More »

Cross-Posted From Brian McGovern at  SaveJersey.com, New Jersey’s #1 Conservative Website. Conservatives are understandably upset by what happened yesterday at the Supreme Court. Conventional wisdom was that the 5-4 decision would fall on the shoulders of Justice Kennedy and that he would likely side with the more conservative members of the court to strike down ObamaCare’s individual mandate as unconstitutional. Well, most of that was correct. | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Great news! This morning, Governor Chris Christie issued what he described as a “prudent” veto of New Jersey’s pending health care “exchange” legislation. You can read the legislation’s Assembly text, A2171 (titled “S1319″ in the Senate) right here. Governor Christie’s veto message can be found here. As I said back on April 19th, Save Jerseyans, “It’s always a bad sign when a | Read More »

Liberals Angry at Verrilli for Choking in His Defense of the Indefensible

By: savejersey (Diary)  |  March 28th at 05:55 AM  | 

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Solicitor General Donald Verrilli had a bad day yesterday, Save Jerseyans. I almost felt for him despite my complete and utter disdain for his cause (and his client, a.k.a. the Obama Administration). Almost. The veteran litigator stumbled his way through what was likely the most momentous oral argument of our time. And as Politico reports, many Court watchers were | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Tomorrow is it, Save Jerseyans! Three full days of ObamaCare hearings will commence before the U.S. Supreme Court just days after the second anniversary of the bill’s passage. Another big story out there today, as I’m sure you’ve heard by now, is former Vice President Dick Cheney who underwent a heart transplant this weekend at age 71. This interesting coincidence compels | Read More »
