I know that President George W. Bush (aka 43) thought he was making a great pick for the Supreme Court when he nominated John Roberts. Sadly it has been just another bad selection by a republican president. Republicans have a bad track record. Far too often these republican choices become the dreaded “swing vote” on many important issues. Roberts shocked the conservative world when he sided with the liberals on the Obamacare individual mandate. The first time in our history that the government forced the citizens to buy a product that only the liberals thought was the right thing to do. Clearly Obamacare was unconstitutional as written and passed into law with ONLY Democrat votes. Justice Roberts had to exercise gold-medal-worthy “judicial gymnastics” and actually rewrite the law for the Democrats so he could join with them. If you remember he said the Democrats really meant “tax” when they clearly wrote and meant the word “fine”. He was psychic you see. He apparently knew what the liberals meant. What a terrible misguided finding he thrust on Americans. Continue reading Sheepdog Barks About Justice Roberts

For the children of Custer County, they are specially blessed because of an opportunity to have even more than just one Guardian Angel.
