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).

Totally immaterial. GOPe leadership has no intention of overturning this, and they used the convenient excuse of being in the minority at the time.

Now that they've been handed a majority they'll find some other feckless reason to not oppose it.

In fact, I'd hazard a guess that the GOPe leadership views their majority in both houses as a liability and an inconvenience; it makes them have to go make other excuses for doing nothing about anything.
