You would have made a good carpenter Alexander. You hit a lot of nails on the head as you listed Chief Justice Roberts' offenses in the Sebelius decision. But, if I may add to your list, I would like to suggest that his decision to declare the universal employer mandate constitutional--yes I see you grasped the essence of his ruling--was the most damaging of all. That amounts to a declaration of 21st Century serfdom.
No longer are workers seeking salaried employment capable of approaching prospective employers under conditions in which the worker alone owns his or her labor. No, the worker must either purchase his or her right to salaried employment when filing their federal taxes or have the employer purchase it for them with the payment of the mandate. The federal government now owns their labor.
When Senator John McCain had a chance to smite and reform Obamacare, he voted “no” with the Democrats to kick President Trump and the American people in the teeth. In 2010, healthcare premiums stood at $11,770. Today it’s $25,570 — thanks to John Roberts and John McCain, Barack Hussein Obama’s intentionally misnamed Affordable Health Care Act isn’t.
John Roberts is more interested in his legacy than he is in his primary responsibility, the Constitution. The Supreme Court spends too much time limiting their opinions so as not to "disturb precedent." Why? Slavery was a precedent, no vote for women was a precedent, lots of things were precedent that are no longer. Government larger than the enumerated powers is just another precedent that is no longer applicable (it never was, but, precedent...).
The question is how do you get SCOTUS to do their job when they're political appointees who haven't been realistically vetted in 75 years. Depending on who dies when determines the makeup of the court instead of having the best of the best. I have no idea how to do it, however I know it should be done.
Obama is a damned communist, Biden is a cabbage, all of congress is owned, and presidential elections usually end up being popularity contests. Add the political cant of SCOTUS and it looks like we're screwed.
Of course that's only if the people don't do something about it. The only real solution is the people. Then, whatever we get, we asked for and deserve.
