The only way the ACA can be declared Constitutional is if Roberts applies the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle to it... it’s both a tax and not a tax at one and the same time.
Even if train wreck Obamacare Democratcare had been an outstanding success, why is Sen. Cornyn, elected in 2002, just now making an issue about the Origination Clause with respect to Democratcare, years after the fact?
Cornyn and Harvard Law School-indoctrinated Cruz are politicking with respect to trumpeting the Origination Clause imo. Does the Originiation clause give them an excuse to sidestep making the federal government's constitutionally limited powers of Section 8 of Article I an issue?
Judge Andrew Napolitano will read Section 8 to you in about 3 minutes.
Judge Napolitano & the Constitution
Since Judge Napolitan reasonably concluded that Section 8 doesn't say anything about Congress having the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes, please consider the following excerpts. They are from Supreme Court case opinions where the Court has not only officially clarified that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes, but also that powers not expressly delegated to the the federal government via the Constitution are prohibited.
State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added] Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
