They find a way to wiggle out of this too. The only way to effect this change is at the ballot box. The mealy mouthed “Moderates/Liberals on the SCOTUS won’t ever let it happen.
That point has been made here at FR at least 1000 times. All bills of revenue MUST originate in the House.

For all their "legal brilliance" - these clowns cannot (for the life of them) seem to follow a straight forward 6 page document.
Hope Justice John Roberts doesn’t do ua any more favors.
This has been brought up before. It turns out that they claim it did originate in the house since the Senate took a bill that came from the house and wiped out the text and replaced it with Obamacare. Now obviously this is a form of Fraud in a sense as it is subverting the intention of the constitution, and the founders. But I guess it is not the first time it has been done.
It’s also the case that this administration has issued waivers to favored, connected businesses. As this program has been determined to be a tax, I wonder if there has been any questioning about where Obama derives the authority to issue waivers to taxes, which must be uniform and indiscriminately applied.
