Basically say’s — that plan ain’t going to work. Standing and separation of power issues.
However, I think I understand their argument better now, they’re claiming it was all right when the penalty was a fine, but by changing the fine to a tax, SCOTUS has given Congress another bit at the apple. Since the house never had the chance to actually blue slip the bill from the senate because of the legal understanding at the time was it was a fine. Now that it’s a tax they feel they’re entitled to blue-slip the bill.
“...at the time was it was a fine. Now that it’s a tax they feel they’re entitled to blue-slip the bill.”
Thanks, that’s enlightening. Though I still gravely doubt anything can come of it.
