Remember John Roberts decided that since there was a tax , that the penalty payment was a tax, that made Obamacare constitutional.

This is an interesting legal argument to be made.

It took a few times of reading it but I finally got it.

1) Supremes said the individual mandate isn’t legal via the commerce clause. However, the penalty is legal because it’s a tax.

2) Congress set the penalty to $0 so it’s no longer a penalty/tax, therefore, the individual mandate is unconstitutional.

3) Since Obamacare law doesn’t have a severability clause means the whole law is unconstitutional because of one item being ruled unconstitutional.
