The lower court decision would have stood in the event of a tie vote at the SCOTUS. However, if that had happened, then the case would NOT have counted as a Supreme Court precedent. Only a SCOTUS majority vote can produce an precedent which is binding on the lower courts, which we no have. Historically, these precedents tend to be very difficult to overturn.

I have a question that so far not a single Freeper has addressed, that I've seen:

If this thing is founded upon a tax or taxes to be accurate, is it Constitutionally allowed that little barry bastard commie can unilaterally exempt groups from this legally passed tax?

Has the Oval Office stinker just given himself unenumerated powers? And what the hell can the Congress do about it?
