Roberts made it eassentially a tax law and sends it back to Congress to deal with. If the House overturns it and sends it perfunctorily to the Senate, only 51 votes are needed to seal the deal....not 60.

Something tells me Dems won't be campaigning well this year if they support this issue.

Just a thought....How many of the D Senator who were coerced to vote for the bill are having second thought and could give us the fifty one votes.

Amen!
17 dems in the house defected today to hold Holder in contempt.
The senate has the same pressures.

re: “Roberts made it eassentially a tax law and sends it back to Congress to deal with.”

Ok, this is where I’m not following you and others who have said this same thing. How is this going back to congress? Roberts already changed the wording of the law himself from a mandate to a tax.

Roberts upheld the law by redefining “mandate” to a “tax” (which doesn’t make it constitutional either as far as I can tell).

This is NOT going back to congress to re-vote. No, Roberts has made it the law of the land. The only way to overturn it is to get rid of Obama and give Romney large majorities in both houses of congress.
