Heard Sen. Mike Lee of Utah on a radio broadcast today. He has new e-book out about Justice Roberts' quick about-face and his shocking Obamacare ruling, which, Lee said, was legislating from the bench - changing the word "penalty" in the statute to "tax" - in order to constitutionalize the otherwise unconstitutional individual mandate. Lee didn't bring up the speculation here that Roberts was blackmailed to change his position shortly before the case was decided.

Lee said that all that was needed to effectively get rid of Obamacare was the passage of an amendment which specified that the term 'penalty" in the legislation was not to be construed as "tax."

Well, you mean a BILL amending the Obamacare bill or an amendment to the constitution? One is relatively easy if we get the senate. The other is damn near impossible.
