He and the Gang of Four did not abide by the usual court principle of tax law cases, which is not to intervene until somebody actually gets dinged for the tax. They jumped down Alice in Wonderland’s rabbit hole here.

I agree. Roberts trying not to be political and his decision was political. Not using the commerce clause to tax inactitivty by calling the penalty or mandate a Tax to tax inactivity. I feel like I am Alice in Wonderland having tea with the Mad Hatter. Up is down , bad is good
