SO your previous statement:

Congress can set a condition under which the tax is triggered. Remember, there are no limitations on the power of Congress to tax. There never have been. The Constitution is wide open in that regard.

was wrong.

You can hope all you want, but you aren't getting any argument and aren't really listening. Good luck in making lemonaid.

Oh and when you are done, explain why roberts ruling in the Arizona case was such a great decision.

My friend, I am not wrong. Congress can tax anything. The only rule they have to obey is whether it has to be apportioned among the states or not. That is it. The tax still stands whether we like it or not.

It has been that way since the Constitution was written.

I'm not going to comment on the Arizona case as I think it was a travesty. But this one, I've found a number of items that give me hope.

No lemonade needed; wait for the litigation. The first time that EPA starts making demands of a landowner who leaves his land fallow will see this case cited as precedent.

We want Federal authority to be curtailed. We got at least some of it here.

No Federal agency can issue a regulation any longer that compels people to activity. The Feds can only regulate existing activity.

I'm sorry you don't see that as being as huge as it is. It is a gigantic rollback of Federal authority. The leftie blogs are screaming about it.

I'm happy they are screaming. I want them to scream some more that their favorite toys have been taken away from them.

This is a long game. I am in it for the long term. It took decades to get into this mess. It will take a long time to dig ourselves out of it.

I have a shovel. Do you?
