The Individual Mandate was voted 5-4 but it did not apply since Roberts agreed with the SCOTUS liberal wing that the penalty amounted to a tax. Since it is read as a tax, the Commerce Clause does not apply.

It is a house of cards that will soon be blown down.

I agree.

The ACA should never, never have been passed. The SCOTUS ruling will have the (un) intended consequence of punting the whole issue back to the legislature for repeal.

Talk about a gift for the Tea Party.
