Sorry.. Not buying it..

Me neither. In fact, the title of the article is actually laughable.

Because of Roberts, will ObamaCare stand? YES

Because of Roberts, will ObamaCare be the law for years to come? YES (good luck repealing it, dem's will forever filibuster any repeal attempt)

The very best anyone can say is that Roberts threw an soft-boiled egg at the ObamaCare train as it roared past him.

My argument to many of my friends. We dont just need 4 new Senators. We need 13.

Since it is now construed as a tax, couldn't it be brought up under a budget bill immune from the filibuster?

Because the majority has declared it a tax bill, it now becomes immune to a filibuster. All that is required for repeal is a simple majority in both houses and the President's signature. The problem here will be whether Republicans will actually vote to repeal once they take control of the Senate in January.
