Should conservatives be outraged?

Yes. At themselves.

"This was an activist court that you saw today," Tea Party favorite Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) told reporters. "Anytime the Supreme Court renders something constitutional that is clearly unconstitutional, that undermines the credibility of the Supreme Court. I do believe the court's credibility was undermined severely today," she said, later adding that Congress could now force you to buy Ikea furniture.

The point that the Rep. Bachmann missed is that it has always been constitutional for congress to force you to do stuff.

We Americans have done a very irresponsible thing. We elected someone that doesn't believe in traditional America. We the people are responsible; not the supreme court. WE!

Roberts made that very clear by writing, "It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices."

Adults take responsibility. Roberts is correctly telling us we need to be adults.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONSTITUTIONAL FOR CONGRESS TO FORCE YOU TO DO STUFF.

Article 1 Section 8: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes

That's it, in black and white. It's always been there. The only restriction being "to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States."

Of course there is a problem, the language is a bit ambiguous. Defense and Welfare were the same thing then (note the rest of article 1) but now welfare has an entirely different meaning. What does uniform mean in this context? It means equal and consistent, but that's not really very helpful other than as a principle to be followed. Redistribution of wealth would obviously not conform to that principle but when collecting taxes it's pretty hard not to redistribute wealth. Obviously, they should take as little as possible and everybody should have skin in the game.

They also have the responsibility to make all laws which are "necessary and proper." They don't seem to have stuck to that principle either but that doesn't make their actions unconstitutional according to the opinion of many (who are likely wrong, but Pandora's box is open.)

There is no way to look at the beast we have today and see limited government. It is our responsibility; our duty as we the people; to limit and restrict our government. We have a republic; Roberts has just told us to defend it.

Update: It's on us. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the liberal wing of the Supreme Court to effectively remove all limits on federal power.

No. It's always been on us. Sarah gets it right.

They've always had the ability to tax us just for being alive. Roberts has just awakened us to the fact.
