Obamacare’s Unconstitutional Origins
Tax legislation has to originate in the House; the health-care law didn’t.

Tax legislation has to originate in the House
That is why I think Roberts did what he did, which in effect planted a poison pill that could actually kill nobamacare by forcing it back to Congress.
Whether prior to the TAX actually affecting anyone gives anyone standing is a different question, which may short circuit this particular suit on origination. Once the tax is actually in effect the barn door will swing open on standing.
Folks, this is chess, not checkers.
