The only reasons Republicans are now opposed to it is because Obama proposed it and is getting credit for it. I wasted a click.

I felt as gutted today as I did when Obama won. This is horrible for our country.
We have to win big in November and we have to have people with real resolve to remove this mess.

Well, I don’t know how he can say that Congress doesn’t have the power to force people to buy health insurance, but it does have the power to enact a tax that will be imposed on people who refuse to do so. He is in essence saying Congress can do indirectly what it doesn’t have the power to do directly. Very bad precedent.

I wouldn’t leave out a “credible threat to a family member” as a distinct possibility.

Fedzilla's power to tax is now unlimited. Not only that, but the power to tax is no longer the sole prerogative of Congress. Robert's decision effectively gives the SCOTUS the power to tax, since it can decide that something is a tax even if Congress expressly stated that it isn't a tax. This is Fedzilla on steroids and bath salts and it's about to eat your face off.

Mule muffins! It's because he's black. Everyone knows that.

They should. Really, they should pass a bunch of “required purchase or get taxed” laws, out of protest.

I really dont know what to believe anymore. Yeah, my emotions and thinking on this has been all over the map today. Anybody who claims they understand exactly how to assess this with precision at this point is unaware of unknown unknowns, to coin a phrase.
It will take a little time to sort out the way things stand now, but the thing is the game is afoot, and the score will keep changing for a while. It could be a couple of yrs, with electoral battles and much legal wrangling, before the ACA is either issued a clean bill of health or read the last rites!

That should be 666, but who’s counting?

I thought we opposed it because he was black...
Oh! I get it now,
The only reasons Republicans are now opposed to it is because Obama, a black man, proposed it and is getting credit for it.

It can even tax you for *not* engaging in an activity. As I understand it, he ruled that the penalty is a tax, not that it's a legal tax. I don't think the SC can rule on whether a tax is legal until (i) somebody has actually paid the tax, and (ii) that person has asked the SC to determine its legality. Of course, I don't know on what theory this tax would be found unconstitutional.

Dude, whatever. Bottom line is that with this ruling, the government may force any purchase of any product or service it wishes. This destroys the concept of freedom, and free trade, in America.
Contort all ya want. We got shafted.

He is in essence saying Congress can do indirectly what it doesnt have the power to do directly. Very bad precedent.What he is saying is that the government can't force people legally to buy health insurance, but it can coerce them financially to do so. To me, a distinction without a difference. But, then, I haven't be trained in the art of muddled thinking like our brilliant jurists have.

Roberts took an apple and made it an orange. That is not his damn job!
“Evil genius”? What a load! The man spit on our freedoms. H Assertions I have seen like in this that excuse his actions and the actions of the people he voted with are feces.
America needs a ctrl-alt-del. A reboot.
