You're just plain wrong. In fact, it's even worse than I initially stated. The courts will now do the heavy lifting for Congress. Congress doesn't even have to call a tax a tax. The Congress can call what they do anything they think is politically expedient, and the courts will now come in after the fact and say “hey, Congress meant this to be a tax and as we all know Congress can tax anything they like, so Congress can do what ever they darn well please and it doesn't matter what the original intent may have been.”

Roberts today destroyed the Constitution. It's the worst decision of my lifetime. Worse than Roe. It might be the most evil decision since Dred Scott. And that lead to the civil war. And that's where we're headed.

Roberts did not invent any expansion of taxing authority. The virtually unlimited taxing authority of Congress has existed since Hamilton won the debate.

The limits on taxing rest with the People, not the Constitution.

I addressed a SPECIFIC point.

On
that
specific
point
you
are
wrong.
