  • Byron York: 0bama administration denies it argued the ACA mandiate was tax

    07/05/2012 7:57:16 AM PDT · by Perdogg · 22 replies
    Question for legal tweeps: Obama campaign is now denying that administration SG ever argued that Obamacare mandate is a tax. Looking at oral arguments, SG Verrilli said mandate is 'justifiable under its tax power.' Can't find him saying 'It is a tax'… So therefore: Is Obama hiding behind legal hairsplitting, arguing mandate is constitutional under tax power but is not actually a tax?
