too much wishful thinking.. He took the cowards way out and it will go down in history as one of the worst decisions in the history of the court.
This could have been ended but he punted and in effect, legislated from the bench making law out of thin air to make it work.
Why rely on a single person's decision, when it's actually We The People who have to make the hard choices?
Roberts simply reaffirmed the constitutional powers with regard to taxation bestowed upon Congress. I don't see why everyone is so wigged out about that.
Sure, technically, they can impose a tax to force you to eat broccoli, but because it can't be punted to a cabinet (like the DHHS), they have to do it themselves, line by line. In broad daylight, raw state power laid bare.
Well, that's straight up in-your-face tyranny, no? Look, this baby was over before most of us were born. This ruling is simply bringing matters to a head.
Politicians will either run on a platform of tax cuts, or the economy/social situation will continue to degrade until the thing literally blows.
Roberts will be credited with forcing the issue by simply applying a strict constitutional standard to the matter of taxation.
