The only silver lining in Robert's decision is that it did limit Congress' power under the Commerce Clause, and does scream loud and clear in the faces of Obama and the Dems in Congress who thought they could keep from the American people their dirty little secret about Obamacare:

"IT IS A TAX"!

The ruling did not limit the Commerce Clause, despite Roberts' unshared opinion. Further, the mandate was upheld as a tax, but it was passed as a penalty and Obama is, correctly, sticking to that position.

The decision is an unmitigated disaster for us all.
