I always felt that Roberts had really given the GOP a way to get the whole law overturned, because a tax must originate in the House, and this one didn’t.

I thought GOP leaders missed their big chance (whether intentionally or not).

We’ll see how it works out- which form Roberts is true to.

Okay, fine. I'm not a Constitutional scholar but as I understand it, taxes must originate in the House of Representative and ObamaDon'tCare originated in the Senate.

If that's true, shouldn't Roberts have ruled against it on those grounds?

That still leaves the question as to whether the tax actually originated in the House (as constitutionally mandated) or in the Senate (which took an existing House bill, excised everything but the bill number (or some such), and inserted Obamacare text to utterly replace it. This was done because Scot Brown suddenly deprived the Gubercrats of their 60th vote for cloture.

IIRC.

Roberts needs to be impeached.
