The one silver lining in this, is that the mandate is now officially a TAX. The Dems can’t run from it anymore. If the GOP is smart, they can hang the “LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HUMAN HISTORY” on B.Hussein and the Dems.
You are absolutely right. But my guess is that the McCain et al. will not go after it. My question about the opinion is how the penalty cannot be called a direct tax and therefore apportioned among the states according to lpopulation.
“If the GOP is smart, they can hang the “LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HUMAN HISTORY” on B.Hussein and the Dems.”
Sorry, but that is almost as unlikely to happen as the SCOTUS actually upholding the CONSTITUTION. Ovomit has been given new life and will trumpet this to the nth degree as proof that he was “right” and all his mindless minions who suck the life out of those of us who actually work and pay taxes will keep their sorry asses in office just to make sure the teets are available for them to keep sucking on.
To think the GOP will do anything but roll over is wishful thinking. Romney and the rest will feign outrage, promise to “overturn” it IF they win in November and that will be it. IF they are lucky enough to win the WH and put both the Senate and House in the GOP control, they won’t do squat. The dems will filibuster, scream bloody murder and use their MSM lapdogs to paint the GOP as evil tyrants and the GOP will roll over.
Plain and simple. And you can bet that once this is in place, NO ONE will have the balls to ever try and touch it. Just like Social Security, it will be the “third rail” of every political debate that NO ONE will go anywhere near.

The army of bureaucrats of the IRS is going to increase dramatically and become even more tyrannical.
Did the mandate to provide abortions, etc. fail then. I’m trying to understand this.
I see a flaw in your statement.
I think that is key. It is a TAX.
Republicans are saying if the law had been sold as a tax, it would never have passed. That isn’t true. While the Pelosi congress avoided the term “tax”, it would certainly have passed with a Democrat majority anyway.
They didn’t know or care what was in the dang thing, remember?
“It’s for your own good.”
It’s a man-date, bend over and enjoy the screwing the gub’ment’s gonna give us all.

This is by far the worst decision SCOTUS has ever made. America died today. There's no other way to frame this. It's over.
