Not being a lawyer, I am not sure if Chief Justice Roberts deserves a pardon should Hillarycare II be thrown out:
The four liberal justices who participated in the crime with Roberts are hardened criminals; they should be locked behind real bars for life. Before Roberts is pardoned for the worst decision since Roe v. Wade, Id like to know if he was smart enough to know the ACA was unconstitutional for the reason stated in the above excerpt. I dont think he did know. If Im wrong why the hell did he not throw Hillarycare II out to begin with.
Its not like the Origination Clause is vague or obscure. A few years ago dumbbell Harry Reid proposed a Senate bill designed to raise revenues. I forget the issue, but he had to be reminded that the Senate has no authority to raise revenue. Naturally, lamebrain Reid was not forced to resign because he violated his oath of office for even trying. To be fair to Reid he did a little amateur boxing in his youth; so maybe taking too many punches scrambled his brain.
The test for Roberts pardon will come if the High Court hears the case not a certainty by any means:
ObamaCare has been challenged on various legal grounds, but one of its most serious legal threats builds upon the very same Supreme Court decision that held it constitutional. The Washington Times reports on a suit from the Pacific Legal Foundation that has been making its way quietly through the court system:
A challenge filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation contends that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional because the bill originated in the Senate, not the House. Under the Origination Clause of the Constitution, all bills raising revenue must begin in the House.
The Supreme Court upheld most provisions of the act in June, but Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. took pains in the majority opinion to define Obamacare as a federal tax, not a mandate. That was when the Sacramento, Calif.-based foundations attorneys had their aha moment.
The court there quite explicitly says, This is not a law passed under the Commerce Clause; this is just a tax, foundation attorney Timothy Sandefur said at a Cato Institute forum on legal challenges to the health care act. Well, then the Origination Clause ought to apply. The courts should not be out there carving in new exceptions to the Origination Clause.

We may find out soon, as the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia is expected to rule on the Justice Departments motion to dismiss in the very near future.
