ACA decision: Will Tea baggers go nuts about "activist Court?"

remembering back to the days when any decision they disagreed with would be met with ranting and screaming about "activist judges" and "legislating from the bench?"

Two of their go to votes voted to uphold. Damn that must really burn.

A commentor said that Roberts may have gone out of his way to keep health care and insurance stocks from tanking if King had won. That is surely a Republican value, isn't it?

Wait until the marriage equality decision comes out. There will be the sound of massive head explosions from the teabagger brigade.

They didn't really do anything new or change anything.

They will scream about getting god back into the court and the usual other non-intelligent banter that they are known for.

not understanding that an "activist court" means changing a law, not upholding a current one, which this ruling does.
