This”Decision”would have been UnNecessary were it not for Roberts’ calling”The Individual Mandate”a”TAX”!!This is UnConstitutional because ObongoCare “originated”in The Senate.All bills for the purpose of raising revenue(taxes/for those of you in Rio Linda),MUST Originate in The House of Representatives.If you don’t believe me,check out Article 1/Section 7 of The US Constitution!!!!!

You are right, of course, but even more fundamentally, it is not a Supreme Court Justice's job to rewrite the law.

Roberts had to rewrite the law to rule on the 'tax', because it was, in fact, a penalty, and it had been repeatedly stated that the penalty was not a tax by the selfsame legislators who pushed the measure.
