Someone there actually believes that the House will propose & pass such a tax?

House Schmouse. In the past I would have thought you were correct. But this isn't coming through those old-fashioned, irrelevant and silly constitutional niceties of the past. How passe.

We're in a new "post-constitutioanl" era where the left can do whatever it likes (thank you Justice Roberts). The EPA can “regulate” carbon, and by regulate they can impose fines. The CJ just ruled that there's no difference anymore between fines or penalties, and taxes.
