What you are missing is that bills do not become unconstitutional because of what people in the administration call them. The Supreme Court ruled (incorrectly) that Congress passed Obamacare constitutionally, based on Congress’s taxation power. The fact that people are (for political purposes) now calling it something other than a tax does not mean that the bill is now magically overturned.

OK. Thanks makes sense. I think that is the answer I was looking for.

I don't agree with it, but it's politcally, twistedly, logical.

Ah...but what cannon fodder to be used against a Constitutional scholar such as 0bama. He needs to be called on it! Make them squirm for heaven's sake! Somebody give them the loaded follow-up question,

Then are you saying it is unconstitutional?

I agree bills don’t magically become unconstitutional based on what people call them.

I say they don’t magically become constitutional based on what one man calls them either.

I also say, everything governmental has a process. That process needs to be followed in order to produce the desired result. So there’s no magic there, either. There’s a process.

Please see the thread by cincinatus’wife on Dr. Walter Williams calling for nullification by the states.

Walter E. Williams: States should nullify Obamacare

And please see post #33, here, for another, excellent summation and overview of where we stand with this law.

Final words: don’t look to Roberts for the guideposts on how to proceed.

Do look to Congress, as it passed there, and to the Presidency, as it was signed there, to undo it, if we elect enough of the right people and hold them accountable, to REPEAL IT.

But the BEST way of all is to look to the STATES.
