When the black-robed elites ruled Obamacare was a tax, they should have also ruled it unconstitutional as it did not originate in the House of Representatives
Finally!!!! Absolutely correct. I've lost count of how many times I've seen that basic FACT posted here on FR at the time the USSC was debating Obamacare.
The potential for a legal pinball effect at the appellate level is to be expected from a poorly written omnibus law.
It would be interesting to learn whether it would be possible at this point for the USSC to consolidate Halbig, Sissel and King into one case, and then be in a position dispense with ObamaCare altogether on origination clause grounds instead of jerking everyone around which seems to be the current default direction if nothing visionary is done about it.
