The court majority also gave conservatives a major victory by giving states more rights to not participate in parts of the law as well.
That restricts federal power, as does the overwhelming victory on the Commerce Clause that will resonate for decades to come.
The overall outcome IS BAD....IT’S AWFUL THE BILL REMAINS.
But, in the long run, this very well could end up being good for us and the country so long as we can get the law repealed.
Here is the relevent passage you are missing (among many):
The individual mandate, by contrast, vests Congress with the extraordinary ability to create the necessary predicate to the exercise of an enumerated power
What, pray tell, is the enumerated power which the individual mandate exercises?
[Hint: NONE.]
Yep.. get this law repealed and another passed that directly addresses that taxation issue.
