[Milton Miteybad]

If Obama was speaking truthfully in 2009 (a comical concept, I know) that the non-compliance penalty was NOT a tax, then five SC justices decided this case incorrectly.

Looking at this another way, if their agenda was to guarantee socialized medicine survives, the SCOTUS had no choice than to call this a tax.

Personally, I would rather they had taken the administration at its word, considered it a mandate and struck the whole mess down outright.

No sale on the Roberts thing.
