If it is a tax, it’s a Direct Tax which is unConstitutional.

But we live in a post-Constitutional Republic.

It now falls to the Republicans, and especially to Mitt Romney, to make the case for the repeal of the law and for its replacement by something better than either it or the health-care policies that preceded it.

And if that doesn't give you a warm fuzzy, I don't know what will!!!

Roberts' opinion actually discusses the "Direct Tax" issue, and holds that only two things are a "Direct Tax": a property tax and a capitation. It also holds that this is not a "capitation," because that means only a flat tax on every person without exception.
