Didn’t realize you jumped in on what I wrote to someone else. He was flat out wrong in the specific thing he wrote to me. You stuck your nose where it don’t belong. He was wrong in that specific point and I was not wrong to tell him so and your citing the dissent is
IRRELEVANT to the point at issue.
Don’t post if you don’t want others to comment on them.
The poster you replied to wrote:
“Roberts just invented the most pernicious new precedent for vastly expanded Federal power since the New Deal. Congress can now call any regulatory penalty under any circumstance a tax and it will now be upheld under Congress’ unlimited taxing authority.”
The poster was 100 percent correct, never claimed Roberts invented a new taxing power, and you are still flat wrong.
If you read the dissents you will see the difference between a penalty and a tax explained in relation to this ruling.
