Someone help me here. Does this mean that another challenge can be made to Obamacare that the mandate tax is unconstitutional?

Yes, I read that we(they) have 45 days to appeal directly to the Court and maybe it was a way for roberts to get past the election because something about this doesn’t smell right.Roberts does not seem to want the blood of obamacare on his hands(court).

Not as I read it. Chief Justice Roberts' decision not only held that the mandate is a tax, it held it is a valid tax; the opinion discussed, and rejected, the argument that it is a direct tax which has to be apportioned and the argument that it is an unconstitutional penalty.
