It’s funny how I can’t (not with any credibility anyway) go into court and argue that explicit language against my position is merely a “glitch” and the judge should simply rewrite the law. But so called respected jurists and scholars take that very position here.

Rewriting laws isn't in Judge Roberts' nor any of the other justices' job descriptions. That task is reserved to the Congress, and revenue measures must specifically originate in the House of Representatives (not the Senate as the tax/penalty did).

That the entire scam was not met with outrage is stunning.

Roberts pointed to the Bill’s fatal flaw. Yet nothing has been done to kill it.
