Oh good, Roberts restricted power on the Commerce Clause....he opened the FLOOD GATES on the tax clause!
Wait till the environmentalists figure out that they can REQUIRE us to buy electric cars, solar panels, etc.
It’s exactly this type of conservative intelligensia thinking that got us Obamacare! Maybe if the intelligensia spent LESS time fluffing their egos and trying to act like the smartest people in the room and MORE time fighting for the freedoms this nation was founded upon we wouldn’t be in this position.
The Supreme Court just declared us all serfs - how is that a win????????????
Nothing he said about the Commerce Clause has any force of law or precedent.
I agree—we’re talking Pollyanna on steroids.
BUT, would Obamacare have passed either house if it had been deemed a tax? No. And that’s not even counting that as a tax, it somehow didn’t originate in the people’s House! Roberts neglects the logical conclusions of HIS conclusions. If the Affordable Care Act passes Constitutional muster if and only if the mandate abetting it is a tax, then the whole thing should have been returned to the Congress for re-labeling and proper passage as a tax.
This obviously didn’t happen.
