Equal protection demands that if they rul against the irs, then the Aca be thrown out.
Unless Roberts comes up with a novel “solution” like taxes.instead of mandates. Maybe redefining the word state to mean federal government in this case.
Keep your day job. This has nothing to do with "equal protection" and the question of severability is not in play either. They are not being asked to declare the ACA unconstitutional. They are being asked to rule that the IRS regulation does not follow the letter of the law.
