I don’t think they “mandated a tax”,
they ruled that the mandate WAS a tax,

and therefore passed constitutional muster.

The 0bama admin was arguing that it wasn’t a tax only for the purpose of deflecting the “tax increase” label.

"they ruled that the mandate WAS a tax..."

Thanks for explaining it so this dummy can understand it. Obama and the Dems own it then, and if the Republicans don't push it that way this election year, then they're the dummies and not me.
