Even worse, the court can now rewrite congressional legislation and impose a “tax” where none previously existed, thus superseding Congress.
This decision is far far worse than any I could have imagined. How Roberts cooked this one up is beyond rational explanation.

Yes.
What’s worse is how many people here are like Obama voters. Roberts is a genius who poops rainbows and unicorns.
They need to face reality but that’s too painful for them. Just like Obama voters.
You’re just plain flat wrong. Go read some of the intelligent commentary on this issue. Hamilton and Madison debated whether the power to tax was strictly limited to enumerated powers of the federal government or largely unlimited as long as it served the general welfare. Hamilton favored the latter, Madison the former. Madison was right but HAMILTON WON. Roberts invented NOTHING. He simply forced the Dems to be honest about what they are doing.
The power to tax has been pretty much unlimited ever since that Madison/Hamilton debate.
The power to tax is not limited by Constitution but by politics, by the voters.
Man up. Roberts has not approved of Tax X or Tax Y or Tax level Z or Tax Level M. That’s for Congress to decide and if Congress taxes us unjustly then we, not Roberts, have to throw the bums out.
Correct and yet many here think he’s some kind of genius.
It’s astounding.
