Judge Roberts did do one odd thing, which we may appreciate in the end. By declaring it a tax....you merely need fifty-one votes of the Senate to agree, and then the House agreement, and it’s finished.
You have to see the other side of this. The President and his campaign team fully expected this to be taken down, and it was to be the number one topic for the November election of 2012. By Robert’s vote....it never got anywhere in the election topics. And, at least half of the Democratic Senators will admit in public that the present plan won’t work.
It may be November of 2014 before enough folks are in position, but this whole thing is falling apart.
But they have a whole year to plan and implement....this is critical...
It's finished after the President signs the repeal legislation.
