I read that while Kavanaugh is against overreach by the Feds, he did agree that obamacare was presented correctly to Congress as part of tax law.
It sounds like he will follow the Constitution - but remember that the folks that dream up this crap are also finding all of the loopholes to get their stuff through.
Kavanaugh has ruled against the individual mandate - so if that gets taken out, then obamacare would be on the ropes.
Well then.. it was never taken back to the HOR to be finalized was it?
It was “deemed” passed.
“he did agree that obamacare was presented correctly to Congress as part of tax law.”
Obamacare was a violation of the origination clause. It was never taken back to the house to be reconciled and was written by the Senate and deemed passed.
Roberts in his ruling, rewrote the law to make it a tax and therefore THAT violated the origination clause.
ONLY THE HOUSE OF REPS can write such laws and the Senate can try to add to them in its chambers, then, the law has to go back to the house to be reconciled and passed.
People can argue whatever they want about that piece of shit legislation, but it was in strict violation of the constitution.
