Like the abortion fiasco, history will determine whether it actually stays and truly is constitutional.
At one time it was constitutiopnal to hold slave...tha one went down hard.
Another time it was constitutional to disallow the vote to women...that one's gone too.
There was a constitutional amendment nthat made it constitutional to prohibit the sale of Alcohol...that one didn't work out either.
I predict, 50 years from now, after I am dead and gone, and if my kids and grandkids still have a constitutional republic called the United States of America, that both abortion and mandates and penalty-taxes like this will not be constitutional and will, like those other ocurrances be viewed badly through the long lense of history.
Just like you and your progressive trash talk.
Bad example; Roe v Wade is still considered valid and therefore 'good law'.
The GOP did nothing when they had control of the executive and legislative branches, not even a token "bring up the issue for a vote." Therefore I can only conclude that the Republican Party, as a party, does not have any intention of redressing that injustice.
Further, the anointing of Romney, a socialist, proves to me that they are not serious about any of their stated planks regarding taxes, responsible government, responsible spending, less market meddling, etc.
