I just couldn't make it through that whole convoluted thing, so maybe my question is answered in there somewhere...

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the whole point of the ruling was not to determine what to call it (a tax? a penalty?) but to determine whether the government has constitutional authority to force this upon us at all?

The ruling of the Supreme Court, that is.

July 4th was a very black day for me. The day we should have been giving thanks to God Almighty, celebrating our God-granted hard-won freedom and remembering those who fought to give it to us, instead was a day of grief, mourning the sudden murder of a very dear old friend.
