Without having completely read the opinion, I agree that now all who voted for ObamaCare will have to defend their vote for a TAX! This is a very potent political add and debate tool for the conservatives. Look at the San Diego newspaper poll on this, last time I looked it was 63% against the USSC opinion on ObamaCare, (should now be called ObamaTax). So if the Tea Party and conservatives hammer the Dems with this TAX, they will attract a lot more Independents. My thoughts.
I don’t think ANY democrat will have a hard time justifying a tax increase, it’s like a bodily function to them. They want to raise taxes, they exist to raise taxes and they’re proud to raise taxes. They will never be held to account from their constituents because most don’t pay taxes and they never will.
This non-decision decision, squib kick of a clusterfark has doomed the country. One day, sooner or later they will get all three branches and they will exercise this authority and it will be over. The door has been opened and as soon as the guard falls asleep, we will lose everything, including our virtue.
It was not a political calculation, his written decision was a suicide note.
True but we have to get our friends and families off their butts and into the campaign. GOP has proven they can’t win a race even when it’s handed to them on a silver platter, it’s up to us.
Let’s hit them with the tax, find ways to get Obamacare back in front of SCOTUS, and keep fighting.
