The problem is this. Roberts not only broke and voted with the libs, but most importantly to me (an attorney) used bad reasoning in doing so.

If this was a tax and decided on those grounds, the case shouldn't have been decided and punted back until it was in effect. Also, not only were things redefined, it opens up a whole new can of worms as bad as the commerce clause.

What was proven to me know is that I count on Roberts as much as Kennedy. Maybe less, because Kennedy is more libertarian at times. If we gain one, is Roe V Wade/Doe v Bolton now gone?

Just as appalling and unconstitutional, Roberts re-wrote legislation - an act that he does NOT have Constitutional authority.

“If this was a tax and decided on those grounds, the case shouldn’t have been decided and punted back until it was in effect.”

YES! Thank you! If he really believes this is a “TAX”, then there IS no case until the tax has been paid. Which it has NOT. Plus, it seems to me that all taxes need to start in the House. I am still unclear whether this was started there or not, but I’ve been reading that it started in the Senate.
