The one good thing to come out of Robert's decision is that by making it a tax bill, it takes the filibuster off the table. If the Republicans retake the Senate in January, then all they will need to defeat it is a simple majority.

As I understand it, the vote was 7-2 against commerce clause application - Sotomayor and Ginsberg the dissenters.

It didn't need Roberts' help to do that in the first place.

The law passed in defiance of the rules of the Senate as a budget reconciliation measure, and it could have been repealed under that same umbrella.

We never needed 60 votes.

This decision is a turd and polishing it doesn't make it anything but sh!t.
