That’s about how I get it.
I still hope for part of the actual law to be found unconstitutional. THAT would open the floodgates - in fact I think the law may be completely thrown out before that happened due to the Dems not inserting any severability clause.
But we shall see. Hopefully we can get it removed.
Passed with only dem votes... seems that detail may be the undoing. Has any uber-major legislation like this ever passed party-line?
While it is disappointing with the Roberts waffle about it being a tax, yet once someone is compelled to pay a tax due to Obamacare then that opens the door to challenging whether it is a constitutional tax (a question which, Alice-In-Wonderlandishly, did not get considered by the USSC). From all I’ve seen the answer to that is no, it is not a constitutional tax. It might have to wait till 2015 when it will matter in people’s 2014 tax refunds. Unless our dear Calvinball Big Ears manages to waive that too.
