The most prominent voice of conservatism, Rush Limbaugh, may have just blown the lid off of a huge conspiracy involving yesterday’s Supreme Court Obamacare ruling.

Limbaugh, like the rest of us, is shocked that Cheif Justice John Roberts, who was appointed by President George W. Bush and used to frequently side with conservatives, worked so hard to uphold Obamacare…even though the entire law is unconstitutional.
Limbaugh noted while he’s not accusing anyone of illegal activity, he believes we must FOLLOW THE MONEY. There are plenty of financial implications for the healthcare industry when Obamacare is upheld, and Limbaugh noted that their stocks increased after the decision was announced.
Rush noted that Republican leaders are more concerned about the “money people” and “donors” instead of voters… And Roberts had to interpret this legislation “outside of the bounds of the law” to get to the conclusion he wanted.”

As El Rushbo explained:
There’s a clear benefit to certain people that has nothing to do with politics, resulting from this decision. “But, Rush, but, Rush, are you saying that moneyed interests could somehow get to a chief justice or any justice on the U.S. Supreme Court?”
What I’m saying is, I don’t know. What is paramount and what is obvious is, the law was not used in rendering this decision. You cannot look at the statute, you cannot use law as your guiding principle and arrive at the decision the majority arrived at in this case. You have to do something else. You have to look at politics.
via Rush Limbaugh
He also went on to note this decision is more an economic one than a Constitutional one.
Do you think John Roberts was pushed into making the decision by the political establishment? Please leave us a comment and tell us what you think.

Roberts didn’t give Rush an Oxycontin.
Of course Roberts was bought off. And we know the others on the high bench are socialist American hating and self-serving law breakers..With three exceptions…
I think it’s blackmail:

Limbaugh’s theory only explains the Obamacare decisions, but Roberts, and the SC, have made other decisions, such as the same sex marriage decision, that don’t have much to do with the economics Rush is concerned with. Blackmail can be ongoing, even, never ending, and there are more SC crucial Sc rulings to come.
The ship USS Obama left port in 2008 to sail the world to unknown ports. Unfortunately (or fortunately) it has encountered storms,rough seas, and strong headwinds. Now, a year before the 2016 elections, it approaches an iceberg, unseen in the fog of lies, smoke and mirrors, while the Captain, 1st and 2nd mate & crew are busy plotting the courses of racism and division in the maproom. There will be few survivors among this inept and unqualified crew of landlubbers. Trump in 2016!
If the US doesn’t experience a GOP tsunami in 2016, the nation is in danger of breaking up ala former USSR, and may suffer through a long period of insurrection and/or anarchy in the process.
Obama & Co. have brought the US to the brink of a 3rd World one-party dictatorship, and the sheeple seem to be either ignoring the fact, or brushing it off in indifference. God help the USA.
Yes, it’s certainly time for a new leader this current administration is off the charts with lawlessness and corruption. Make America great again with Trump 2016
In two terms in the White House, this President has done more damage to the country than any other president in history.
Rush is not the only one that believes there is way too much lawlessness happening since Obama administration has taken over. It is apparent to anyone with at least a decent IQ that he is attempting to destroy America by ignoring The United States Constitution and disrupting what little economy America has left. He has committed treason after lying who he really is. Too many people were excited about having a different kind of POTUS and ignored researching who he really is before allowing him in to such an important job. I would like to know why Congress has sat on their hands during all his law breaking. In addition, I would like to know why Hillary is not behind bars yet. General Patrayous made a mistake with lower security clearance information and Hillary has definitely done completely worse. Anyone else would have been thrown in jail before the investigation was completed, in regards to the e-mails. Don’t forget Fast and Furious, Benghazi; financing, arming, and abetting the enemy Iran (illegal treaty) deal, etc. A lot has been going on that would never be allowed by any other President, yet this one has been given a pass on all his lawlessness. Are those responsible to make sure the separate branches work to keep this kind of destruction scared of Obama and his Islamist/Muslim terrorist or has he just found filth on each of them to control them? Too many options with not enough information. May God Bless America and America bless God again before it is too late.
“…ignoring The United States Constitution” ???
Cite please.
Knee-jerk self-defined Conservatives never cite what Article and Section of the USC they are referring to. We know that self-defined Conservatives use telepathy to communicate; But those of us without that facility need further elucidation. So please cite.
What are you doing here. The very idea that the government can force it’s citizens to purchase anything is contrary to everything this country stands for.
The Supreme Court should never even have heard this case. The “Court” is charged with upholding law, NOT ruling on economic issues.
You self-deluded liberals will no doubt “enjoy” your new lives in Obama’s 3rd World of tyranny, corruption, poverty, disease, and hopelessness; except for your elite moneyed class, of course! Just like Communism; a few favored at the top, and the rest under mass subjugation. You’re all beneath contempt to anyone concerned with freedom & traditional American values & morals.
Some one got paid off for that decision. I always thought that. As RUSH says follow the money.
You want to know why I am for TRUMP…many reasons that I like his stands. But a main reason is NO ONE can buy him off. We will have a president that can’t be bought or sold.
GO TRUMP if you want honest government, to hold your head proudly as an American again, to get rid of all that Obama did to us, to bring companies back to America, to have America safe again, to have oil in OUR hands finally, etc. etc. GO TRUMP 2016
So only billionaires can run for president? Otherwise they need donors.
I believe Rush has again NAILED IT! The corruption in the Supreme Court is evident not only with Obamacare BUT with the Queer decision on marriage!
The U.S. Supreme Court is a fallen organization. They are the last hope for the citizens to maintain a country based on the Constitution. However, the SCOTUS has turned into a political organization. There is no more “balance of power” among the three branches of government. All three branches are in the tank for a corrupt POTUS. Our country is in dire straits unless we elect someone who will turn around the Titanic before it hits the iceberg. However, as in the real-life Titanic, it just may be too late. We need Donald Trump!
Here’s a great example of Obamacare. During a recent hospital stay me wife had the hospital
insisted on giving her “their” drugs instead of her own prescriptions from home. The bill came in today and they charged just under $5000 for 5 days worth of the same pills she takes at home. Her total cost for ALL her 90 day prescriptions runs less than $200. Somebody is taking somebody to the cleaners. No wonder how our medical costs are unbearable!!!
We have the best government money can buy. I am nearly 78 and have never, EVER, seen such a bunch of spineless money grubbers as sits on the “right” side of the aisle in congress. It has gotten so bad that there’s barely a dime’s worth of difference between the the Rs and the Ds. Makes me sick to my stomach!!!!!!
and it is directly related to CASH, REAL DOLLARS…..the collapse is on the way and the closing of banks a lot closer than you think…..PERIOD…..KTN…..
I wonder what they do when they stand before the judge of the whole earth jesus the lord , who say all liers shall have ther part in hell were ther be nashing of teeth cant lie ther way out of ther . . GOD HEAR EVERY WORD MAN SPEAK AN KNOW EVERY THOUGHT SO KNOW EXCUSE WITH HIM OUR NATION HAS TRUN FROM GOD IF THE WORLD WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH WHAT GOING HAPPING READ REVLATION IN YOUR BIBLE .WHO GIVING THE BREAT YOU ARE BREATHING RIGHT NOW .AMEN
YES_YES_YES, I also believe that Mr. Roberts as well as the entire Supreme Court Judges are involved because of $$$$$$ as well as promises of some kind! We should subpoena each member of the Court and get at the TRUTH NOW………………..Roland
Having read many of the emails before this post, I agree with those how feel blackmail of some sort is involved. I believe the Obama “team” has ‘dirt ‘ on McConnell, Boehner and probably others. It even goes back to 2008, during Hillary’s primary. It was said run was it was said that Bill and Hillary were planning to challenge Obama’s birth credentials that Obama’s “team” suggested to them that it might not be good for Chelsey’s well being if they continued their challenge to Obama’s legal right to be president.
Just wait until the employer mandate hits the fan…. You want to talk about an uproar?.. Just you wait.
So? what’s the BIG DEAL ?
move on!
Dayne
Will you say that when they pass a law that says that all stupid people like yourself be put to sleep?
NO BIG DEAL!
not move on…..LOCK AND LOAD…..PERIOD…..KTN…..
The last two SC Justices also should be removed after we find out that Obama is a fraud when he leaves office . Oh and many in the Exe. branch of government should also be removed from office on day one and many placed in prison. After their day in court of course, and charged with sedition and treasonin some cases.
I believe that President Obama had a big part in the SC’s ruling on Obamacare, and same sex marriage. Why are these leaders willing to sell their souls to the devil, rather than interpet the law according to the Constitution?
Roberts should be removed from his office, he swore to uphold the Constitution and he failed
The insiders, the Illuminati order Roberts to vote the way he did. And judges have been creating legislation from the bench for years. ONLY Congress and state legislators can make laws. Judges can ONLY impose penalties that either Congress or State Legislators vote in and either governors or the pres signs.
I don’t know how, but I believe Chief Roberts was bought/blackmailed into supporting Obamacare. When a Chief Justice upholds a political issue instead of a real legal statue obviously it smells to high heaven. I think he has destroyed his reputation forever. Just one man’s opinion.
If, in fact, you cannot legislate morality; how, is it now, you can legislate immorality?
The SCOTUS cannot, legally, morally, or any other reason make laws by mandate.

It’s much more plausible that under our current total surveillance state where journalists are hacked and intimidated by the Obama regime, documentarians jailed and forced into psychotherapy for “thought crimes against the state”, our highest ranking Generals destroyed by secret affairs being revealed, Snowden revealing the state of total evisceration of the 4th Amendment, that the Obama regime knows every skeleton in every closet of the SCOTUS and Congress and with the IRS and other agencies being used as political weapons against citizens and government employees that he can determine the outcome of any item on his agenda. The republicans won 2 back to back historic gains in the past 2 elections but have been 100% impotent against ALL post constitutional lawlessness and rule by decree by Obama. Think of what a little NAMBLA on Robert’s hard drive could mean to benefit the evil democrat/Cultural Marxist agenda?
I think there was a carrot and stick. The carrot was the promise of vast enrichment in the future by the money interests, and the stick was exposure of the Irish children Roberts had adopted illegally, with possible destruction of his family and legal career for corruption. He had indicated to the fellow conservatives what he thought, and then, suddenly, gave a decision that was not based on law.
I don’t like what’s happened either – but to the question of term limits for the Justices, – then do we have them campaigning, too – do they have to solicit campaign funds to pay for their expenses as do the other politicians? I’m not sure we want that. And everybody is beating up on Roberts – but in
my opinion, the others who voted with Roberts on Obamacare should be under scrutiny, too – obviously, they voted for their
political leanings – not for the real reason that they are Justices. I’m just as disgusted with their voting record as well.
No, I do not believe it was for money. My research suggests it was blackmail…having to do with his adopted children! Can’t imagine anyone of his stature doing what he did unless to protect his family!
Money is money and a politician is a politician they both go hand in pocket and never will that ever change.
Wonder what stocks Roberts owns?
It’s the fall of the Roman Empire all over again……..greed……corruption…..homosexuality……..
Read Beard’s “An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution”. He makes a case for the founding fathers having made decisions based on money and economics. So nothing new here.
drbhelthi you seem to really hate Israeli’s….didn’t know we had any in our govt…..Obama’s staff has advisers from Iran…Valerie Jarret and other terrorist linked advisors from Pakistan and other countries, but Obama hates Israeli’s and there are none on his staff…if we have any in congress please share their names with us, or quit spreading your hate here…..as for the ruling by our Supreme court on Obamacare, yes it is outside or constitution an is clearly motivated by self survival of the justices who probably had their families threatened……that is the only thing that makes sense for Justice Roberts change in his stance on the matter
I don’t know why Roberts abdicated his duty in his ruling, nor do I really care. Obama care is nonetheless an Unconstitutional law and will eventually be tossed as it is unsustainable. The sad part of this tragic mess is that there are so many people in the U.S. clearly demonstrating their total lack of intelligence in supporting this law and many of them are those who voted for it. The law was based on a lie and the Congressional Democrats, for what ever reason, bought the lie in totality.
Always follow the money and who has what on who. When Roberts rewrote the obamacare law as a tax he overstepped his responsibility to just interpret the constitutionally of laws, not to write tax laws. Ever since he did that, I have wondered what Obama has on him. It’s a good thing the Supreme Court has no police powers, until they decide to rule they are the commander in chief.
Gee, maybe Rush should read the Constitution and the precedents supporting the decision. He is obviously speaking from a position of ignorance.
I believe that anyone who supported the passing of Obamacare, without it having been read in its entirety by all members of the Senate and Congress and then being approved by a majority vote, needs their head to go through an MRI to see if they have a brain and I’ll bet they don’t. Judge or no Judge.
The five occupants, of the Supreme Court bench, who supported the element of Obamacare that was in question, did not render their decision based on the USConstitution.
Congress is in error for permitting the question to go to the Supreme Court, and the Israelis in the USCongress who support Obamacare should have USCitizenship removed, and be exiled to israel.
This should be done to all in USGov who pledge 1st allegiance to Israel or any foreign country.
The decision favored the continued outlay of Taxpayer Dollars for payments that benefit the pharmacy industry, physicians and insurance companies that participate in Obamacare. Of course stocks that were associated increased, which was anticipated by the Israelis who own Wall Street and the four Israelis who supported Obamacare. Strictly a political-dollar decision, devoid of the U. S. Constitution.
Roberts is a traitor to all conservatives and to the President who nominated him.
I agree .
America has been betrayed! Rather Roberts did this for money or, rather Roberts is being blackmailed; either way Roberrts needs to seriously rethink about the future of America. The same America his children and grandchildren will have to suffer with; if there is to be a future America?
The Supreme Court has now proved that it does need Term Limits and needs to be elected instead of appointed. No one is good, trustworthy, or perfect enough to have a guaranteed Lifetime Appointment, No One! They are Human, not Gods, and open to corruption, especially if they have anything hidden in their past. Congress also needs Term Limits. Both Parties have proved, beyond a doubt, that the Career RINOs and DEMONs are only out for themselves, not for We, the People! Boehner, McDonnell, Pelosi, Sheila Jackson, Reid and many, many more, from both sides of the isle, are corrupt to the core and deserve Prison, not a place in government.
Billy put the truth in words very well indeed. No one should hold any office Federal, State or Local for more than 2 terms; any lifetime appointments are the worst decisions that anyone could make as it is a sheer impossibility for anyone to always make the right decision all of the time; especially the bunch of losers in the present administration.
If money is involved, under the table, back room dealing, count the Obama Administration in. I do not know what is going on in the Supreme Court but it smells like rotten fish and it stinks!!! Needs to be investigated.

I believe the Obama Administration has something “on” Roberts.
If there is anything to be had on Judge Roberts, the israeli MOSSAD has it. If the MOSSAD has it, it was used to intimidate Judge Roberts. In which case, Judge Roberts is a pimp of the Israeli MOSSAD. He thus is worthless to the Republic of the United States of America until he publicly announces his wrong-doing and reveals the deceitful Israeli MOSSAD for intimidating him.
Judge John Roll was also a Bush appointee, but maintained his professional stance, declaring a major clause of the Brady “gun” Bill to be unconstitutional.
The attack on Gabby Giffords in a parking lot political rally, in a suburb of Tucson, Jan 2011, was a set-up to assassinate Judge John Roll. Mrs. Giffords, the child and other innocent people were murdered as distractions from the target of the assassination. That´s how such assassinations are conducted.
Follow the money…..just follow the money.
bribed, threatened or blackmailed
Wondering if the Supreme Court can be sued for overreaching their roles? Clearly they are not going by the law but rather by the fallout and that is not the role of a Justice. Whether you agree with Obamacare or Marriage equality is not the point, the point is how our Justices are overstepping boundaries of their job. This can be a HUGE issue for all sorts of issues. How does one stop them unless a lawsuit is filed against the Supreme Court for this, and is it even something that can be done?
This is all nonsense. Roberts is political – he is looking out for his legacy. In 2012 he quarreled with another Justice (Scalia) and found a way to support SCOTUScare — he denyed the commerce clause, but redefined the meaning of the word “penalty”. Basically he caved to a political (emotional) agenda. Now, in 2015, what’s he going to do? Renounce his previous sin? Never happen. Irrespective of any moral or English lanaguage statements in the law, Roberts will uphold ROBERTScare. He is not up there with Roger Taney and Owen Roberts.
