They’re spinning so fast they should be dizzy by now.

Spin, spin, spin, drain, drain, bye-bye.

We now live in an era when the federal government can do whatever it wants and call it anything it wants to call it.

If it is not a tax then ObamaKare is not legal as defined by SCOTUS and can’t be implemented.

Case closed.

The whole Dem spin is it is a penalty for the middle class and a tip from the 1%.

Aw, if they didn’t want it to be law in the first place, they shouldn’t have passed it, yes?

What would anyone whose sperm donor was a commie maggot from Kenya know about anything? If the Supreme Court says it’s a tax, IT’S A TAX.

If it's not a tax - it has to be overturned. Congress doesn't have the authority any other way.

Just say "NO" to the Oboma tax.
No new entitlement programs!

Just following the lead of Roberts in his opinion. First, it wasn’t a tax and then it was a tax.

The Washington spin machine is going to reverse the magnetic poles!

Obama is defying SCOTUS by calling it a penalty, they abhor it being labeled EXACTLY what it is...

A TAX

For the last few years, the White House and Congress had been telling us this was a penalty. At the same time, the White House lawyers were arguing to the Supreme Court (out of necessity) that it was a tax.

They’re trying to have it both ways, and should be called on it.

I’m not holding my breath.

It's a tax. Liberals have long played with words to obfuscate, distract and fool the voters. It often works, too. This time, the Democrats are in a corner. If they call the mandate 'penalty' a tax, people are repulsed. If they lie and call it a 'penalty' it's no longer constitutional. So, Obama administration mouthpieces are reduced to saying that the tax that renders Obamacare constitutional isn't really a tax at all. This confuses and annoys the electorate and makes the Obama administration look ridiculous, which it always has been. Up until now, most people pretended not to notice. That is no longer possible. It's a tax - and we all know it.

I have a question:

People with children get a per-child tax break. Those of us without children pay full tax.

So, is the White House saying that I’m paying an unwritten penalty for not having my own children?

Or is it that I’m just paying full tax and people with children are not assessed a penalty fee?

I’m......so confused. What the hell is going on, here?

Ya can’t have it be a tax to make it legal, but not a tax to not be a tax increase. I guess ol’ Obama just likes to have it both ways. Just saying.

Did they argue in court that it was a tax, to get it passed, or did Roberts just pull the tax thing out of his own hat? If they argued it was a tax, then this must be publicized to show the immenseness of their lying hypocrisy. Whether they argued it being a tax or not, they are still Constitutional abrogating menaces that deserve utter scorn and ridicule. It is these lying, Satanic, scumbags that must become abrogated.

Roberts has the authority to reconsider his decision. He should announce that he interpreted ObamaCare in the most understanding and flexible manner possible in an attempt to find that it was constitutional, but Pelosi, Obama, and many others who passed the bill so we could find out what was in the bill have corrected him, and he accepts their interpretation that ObamaCare is not a tax. Because ObamaCare is not a tax, the Court is reconsidering the question and he is joining in the Kennedy/Scalia/Thomas/Alito decision, which is now the majority decision - ObamaCare is overturned.

Sadly, I don’t think Roberts has either the courage or the patriotism necessary to follow that path.

Roberts looks like bigger fool... Like a judge letting go a murderer only to have him show up TV saying, “Yep I lied. I killed em.”

"Not A Tax = Not Constitutional".

Spread the word.

If it's not a tax, they why are they going to hire 16,000 new Internal Revenue Service Agents?
