They ruled that the individual mandate requiring us all to “buy” insurance is unconstitutional...and that should be the end of it. Back to Congress to change, fix it, or shelve the whole thing.

But, no. They then (it sounds like) unilaterally and unconstitutionally took it upon themselves to basically re-write the legislation and call that purchase mandate a tax and then say “now it is ok, proceed.”

How can the US SUPREME COURT WRITE ANY LEGISLATION?

Answer: They can’t. It would be unconstitutional.

The Congress writes laws. So with what the legislation clearly called a mandate to buy ruled unconstititonal, it should go back to congress to alter it into a tax...WHICH WOULD NEVER PASS THE CONGRESS.

I am shocked and severely disappointed in Roberts. They are (if this interpretation is correct) writing legislation from the bench which is not within their power to do.

I guess we’ll see what it all means, but that’s how I am reading it now and it is very disappointing if that is correct.

They've done it in the past, but this is so egregious that the House needs to start impeachment procedures of all Justices writing law from the bench.

When Judge Vinson ruled Obamacare unconstitutional, he asked for an expidited appeal so that the Billions of wasted taxpayer dollars continued to be spent by the Ogabe administration (even after his injunction) would be minimal.

When the SCOTUS took more than a year to look at the issue.....I knew then, that the fix was in.
