Was just on Twitter
Ann C complaining that the only thing they were doing was removing the tax from obamacare
Thought : wasn’t the bill going to be declared unconstitutional until CJ Roberts declared it a tax bill ?
SOOOO?
If the tax is removed is the law unconstitutional?
Very interesting point.
Dunno. The arguments were so convoluted it’s ridiculous.
But they are removing a LOT of taxes from Ocare. Huge taxes. And the individual mandate.
So I go back to my original point: if the “essence” of Obamacare, as almost everyone here insisted, was the “individual mandate,” and it’s gone, then Ocare is repealed.
Otherwise, people are now moving the goalposts to say that, no the individual mandate wasn’t they key.
