Fifth time asked today.
What’s a Constitution? I’m confused.
I heard on Oprah it has something to do with bowel movements.
The Constitution is still being brought up as though it is relevent?
You assume that the Constitution is still valid. That thing was abandoned long ago.

Our Courageous Young President says "Pfftt!"
A whole lot of deemin’ out there. Congress deemed the other chamber passed it. The SCOTUS deemed tbat a mandate is a tax. Kardashian lied, freedom and liberty died. SCOTUS legislating from the bench. We are SO skrewed.
The old USSR was said to have had a Constitution that the Soviet Government ignored. Now the USA also has a constitution the formerly non-Fascist USA Government ignores.
Is this crazy
The GOP was warning that it was in reality a TAX and Obama and the DEMs arguing that it wasn’t
So Roberts says the GOP was right and Obama was wrong so it is constitutional
My brain hurts
It explains how to take a House bill and use the Senate amendment process to introduce new spending bill that was "technically" introduced by the House.

How to Demolish obamacare ... First off - Romney, if he is elected - and telling the truth - says he will in his first hour as President - ‘Waive the obamacare requirement for all 50 states - as obama has done already for Nevada). Whatever the Senate/House origins of the obamacare bill it is now officially declared a TAX... Argue for years whether it originated in the House or the Senate... but this argument is not needed... If this obamacare monstrosity is a tax bill says SCOTUS - then Revoking this Tax bill should not take a Congressional Super Majority next term under a Republican President ... rather a simple majority of the U.S. House of Representatives could revoke the taxing authority of the obamacare law... and the Senate could concur with just sixty (60) votes at maximum (or perhaps only 51 votes depending upon how it is handled - maybe in the same way as the original bill - ‘reconciliation’ comes to mind). Then President Romney could sign the House and Senate passed Bill into law revoking the taxing authority of obamacare. The insurance mandate of obamacare would then be dead - having no taxing teeth and it will come to a halt in its cancerous spread. Then the rest of the neutered - dormant obamacare law could be dismantled piece by piece over the next one - two years.
That's easy. It's an old sailing ship also called “Old Ironsides”.
King hussein will do what pleases him. His lackies in congress and the senate will do his bidding. If you think you can stop him, you are in for a long uphill battle. Obama is an arrogant prick who knows how to manipulate people, and he is pulling no punches right now. Conservatives are going tto have to start fighting dirty, just like obama, if they have any hope of taking this country back.
As others have said. It started off as a shell house bill...
Go as Roberts if he cares and get back to me.

:The bill that passed the Senate wasn’t technically a Senate bill. Reid took a bill that had already passed the House, stripped out the provisions to turn it into a “shell bill,” and then inserted the text of ObamaCare to get around this requirement. The bill that passed the Senate was H.R.3590, which initially had to do with tax breaks for military homeowners. And yes, they’ve used the “shell bill” strategy before. In fact, the conservative opinion today specifically mentioned Article I, section 7 at one point while raising no objection to Reid’s sleight of hand.”
