Go back and read the history of the ObamaCare bill. It was introduced in the House as some kind of community revitalization nonsense by Charlie Rangel in the fall of 2009. The Senate basically gutted it and turned it into ObamaCare.

You just confirmed my statement. It wasn't initiated in the House as a funding bill. It became such in the Senate. Critics have ever since recognized its tax implications, but the bill as passed is a Senate concoction.

While I agree that the Court should not have to spoon-feed Congress on their duties, to say that the mandate is constitutional as a tax, when it was inappropriately passed, is a disingenuous and harmful decision.

Now, yes. We have to go forward and use successfully the small gift we've been given. But it would have been far better had this been ruled unconstitutional in the first place. It could have been done, should have been done. But wasn't for the sole reason of protecting the court's "objectivity". Sorry, but that's an insignificant reason on such a momentous occasion.

Since it was wrongfully labeled and passed in the wrong house, how easy would it be to negate from that point of view. A vote in House? Senate? A lawsuit? by whom?

Do we need to point out the illegal act of mislabeling it so it could be passed in the Senate....just another O-nipulation?

As we work to elect more conservative representation, where do we encourage those already elected to go? (I know, but seriously)

According to Wikipedia, ObamaCare was originally introduced as (emphasis is mine): "Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009" (H.R. 3590) by Charles Rangel (D–NY) on September 17, 2009.
