"If they had correctly declared Obamacare unconstitutional the first time,"

Roberts ruling was one of the biggest shocks to me in our free enterprise system. The "tax" (written as a fine) he claimed aside, how could the Fedgov force American citizens to buy a product under penalty of law??

They force us to finance a retirement supplement call Social Security. I remember reading an article soon after the Roberts ruling where the author of the article “deconstructed” Roberts thinking and came to the conclusion that he was basing his argument on past rulings that upheld the constitutionality of Social Security. (Which to me is as dubious as upholding Dred Scott!) However this guys take on Robert's argument made sense on how (maybe why!) he made the case.
