A bit of schadenfreude involved .... the Dems had their panties in a wad that this was a TAX bill and the Obamacare mandate shouldn’t be part of it .... until they were reminded that Judge Roberts ruled the “[s]hared responsibility payment” under the Affordable Care Act is a “tax” and not a “penalty” so as to twist the unconstitutional into something that could be forced down America’s throat. Roberts ruling finally came back to bite the Dems & the ACA in the butt.
