I'm not suggesting you feel anything - and the result is NOT identical if WE do OUR job.

What Roberts affirmed is that the congress has the power to tax - no surprise is there? But his ruling made it clear that if congress (the congress that WE THE PEOPLE elected) creates legislation that results in a tax - then by God we're going to call it a tax - not let them use deceptive weasel-words.

As much as we would have liked Roberts to simply strike it down, all that would have done would be to kick the can down the road until an election cycle comes around where the left has the congressional votes - and the Supreme Court numbers - to uphold another version of obabamcare - but under the commerce clause LIKE THEY WANTED.

By ruling the way he did - with a majority of the court - the precedent has been set that using the commerce clause in this fashion is NOT constitutional.

So your gripe is still going to be "so what - we still gotta pay the "tax" that Roberts said was constitutional".

Yep - this is why "we the people" have to do OUR job and make sure that another Obama-liking congress is not elected. We need to hold Congress' feet to the fire and make sure this monstrosity is killed.

And if we get another Obama congress, it is OUR fault - not Roberts.

We the people get the govt - and the taxes - that we the people deserve...

Seems to me that what Roberts did precisely is kick the can down the road....You think the Rats are done with Health Care? They're just getting warmed up. If Roberts sided with Scalia, Alito, Kennedy and Thomas, they would have had to go back to the starting point....now they have a base firmly in place to go for their ultimate goal, a completely goverment-run healthcare system.

Congress may levy specific taxes. What kind of tax is this? Is it allowed by the Constitution?

THIS COURT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT PRECIDENT. Besides, THE 4 JUSTICES IN THE MINORITY WERE WILLING TO DO THAT ANYWAY.

No, my gripe is that TYRANNY HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED. THERE IS NO CONSTITUTION ANYMORE.
