Bryan Fischer has not been reluctant to voice his hatred of the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the constitutionality of health care reform, calling it “legal garbage” and total gibberish that signals the end of America.
On Friday’s radio program, Fischer continued the assault, declaring that the decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts was so fundamentally illogical and irrational that there must be something was wrong with his brain, perhaps rooted in the fact that Roberts takes medication for epilepsy:
Fischer has spent three days absolutely tearing apart this ruling and blasting it as utterly incoherent and unconstitutional, and then began attacking Chief Justice Roberts for supposedly changing sides at the last minute … just like Justice Anthony Kennedy did during Roe v Wade:
[Roberts] ruling was absolutely irrational, it’s absolutely illogical, it is absolutely unconstitutional, and it is so bad it will make your eyes water trying to make sense of it. And it’s my position that ruling doesn’t even make sense; you couldn’t even imagine a world, you couldn’t even create a parallel universe in which this ruling could make any kind of sense.
Now Roberts apparently switched his vote very late in the game. This happened on Roe v Wade, by the way – Anthony Kennedy originally was going to be against Roe v Wade [but] somebody got to him. So the first vote on Roe v Wade was to uphold the pro-life position, sanctity of life was going to be protected by the Court. But over the course of the month between when the first vote was taken and when the opinions were written, Anthony Kennedy switched teams, he went over to the dark side of the force. So they had to change and so the majority opinion became the one that struck down Roe v Wade and made abortion legal in all nine months of pregnancy.
Hmmm, apparently Fischer is such a scholar that he knows that Roberts’ opinion is incoherent nonsense and totally unconstitutional …. but doesn’t realize that Roe v Wade was decided in 1973 on a vote of 7-2 and that Kennedy didn’t join the Court until 1988 or that there as never been a “majority opinion … that struck down Roe v Wade.”
