This weeks decision by the US Supreme Court on Obama care while disturbing has a much more troubling future. The decisions twofold problems will haunt conservatives far into the future. First and most obvious was the decision to redefine taxes as almost a duty of the government to do with our money what it wants. For decades Conservatives have made it an undeniable truth that taxes should be minimal and the Tax Code be changed to a flatter and fairer system. That has now been smashed on the rocks like a fine piece of art that has no more value because someone didn't like the way it looked. I have seen many columns saying this will be a good thing for the 2012 election. Do they really think this will only last until a Republican Congress nullifies BO's (Barack Obama+ Bad Odor) masterful scripting of a piece of legislation or Romney will with a stroke of his magical pen erase this stain? NO, it will endure because now it has been given holy status by the Supreme Court.
The second and equally troubling problem is John Robert's. My best friend and I were in Washington the day President Bush nominated him. Finally a credentialed Conservative with a pedigree from the Federalist Society, Oh joy, Oh rapture, Oh what happened? No more then a shame to hang our hopes on, no more real hope that a president can find a reliable conservative to uphold our values and the Constitution. The Democrats can just pick any old name out of the DC phonebook, like John Roberts, and have a loyal dog to come to the rescue. Sad days a comin'.
