No problem. Court will rule that Obamacare should apply to all 50 states. Problem goes away.

Obama said that there are 57 states. Get with the program.

See what happens when the court legislates from the bench?

First, Congress passes the mandate on the argument that it is NOT a tax, expressly removes the severability clause, and then requires Congress to participate.

The courts say that the states cannot be compelled to participate, and strikes down that part of the law.

Roberts comes along and ignores severability, says that it must be a tax, because that's the only way the law stands as Constitutional, therefore it is a tax and not an unconstitutional law.

Now, for it to be a tax, it must be applied uniformly across the states, so therefore the ruling that struck down the state mandate is now struck back in?

Exactly! As long as 0bama has Roberts under his thumb and the SCOTUS skipping to his tune, he isn't worried about any of his unconstitutional or illegal actions being overturned. That's why he is a TYRANT!
