Congress and the President can penalize any behavior and have the Court construe it as a tax.

You bring up an interesting point. Congess would be within its rights to levy a $10,000 tax on any abortion. It wouldn't be a fine, it would be a tax.

There you go.

In a very real sense, Roberts has thrown down the gauntlet to liberals.

"You will no longer find sanctuary within the court because we have given you the power to pass any tax you desire. Just put it to a vote"

We have always said that liberals take it to the courts because their ideas are wrong and unpopular.

The ball is now in our court.

It could also tax you $10,000 for NOT having an abortion.
