I’m no lawyer, but how can the Court change it to a tax? Congress has to do that!

Greta V Sustren talking about this right now. So now, are they saying Congress must rewrite the individual mandate to a tax in order to make Obamacare a reality?

From a Drudge blurb from the opinion:

'Congress had the power to impose the exaction in Section 5000A under the taxing power, and that Section 5000A need not be read to do more than impose a tax. This is sufficient to sustain it. '

So Roberts actually read the bill, and it drove him mad.

Well I guess the rumor that Roberts was writing the majority opinion still might be true. He just didn’t write the opinion we were looking for.
