I’ve wondered this too.. Could be grounds for another lawsuit headed to SCOTUS since Roberts “changed” what 0bamacare is.

“I’ve wondered this too.. Could be grounds for another lawsuit headed to SCOTUS since Roberts “changed” what 0bamacare is.”

First let me say that I agree that this case ranks up there with Roe v Wade and Dread Scott.

But, actually Roberts didn’t change the law in his ruling.

My wife is an attorney and she says that the justices don’t have to follow only the arguments given by the defense.

If they see other ways that a case can win they have the right, a duty even since they are supposed to be seeking justice, to add to the case.

He argued that it is constitutional when viewed as a tax. He is wrong, but has that right to view it that way.
