“Day of Infamy, 2.0”

A dear friend and true patriot sent an e-mail in which he referred to the Supreme Court’s unfortunate decision released yesterday (6/28/2012), that upheld the Constitutionality of ObamaCare as, another ‘Day of Infamy’. He nailed it with his reference to the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

It has been more than 24 hours since that decision was announced and I am still in a state of shock and disbelief at how the ObamaCare case was deliberately manipulated to achieve such a contorted conclusion, by those in the majority at the Supreme Court.

This is a blatant case of the end justifying the means. Obama wanted this ‘end result’ and the pressure was put on by whatever means it took, to achieve that end.

Will we ever know for certain whether it was bribery, intimidation, mental illness or by what manner of political chicanery, that influenced Chief Justice Roberts to abandon his principles? I doubt it.

Meanwhile, we are left to ponder a path forward that will inevitably lead to a more just ‘end’ arrived at by legitimate means, as we work within the parameters so clearly defined by The Constitution of the United States of America.

We can do this thing. And, God willing, we will.
