He's Melting! Lol
bigrebnc the witch of north carolina is melting, melting, melting!!!
Yup. He's in full meltdown mode.
The court has slapped down the congress for overreaching.
Congress can not force you buy the insurance and that the mandate it now a tax.
It gave the States their power back. They can now opt out of the expansion in Medicare and Medicaid.
If 26 or more states withdraw from the expansion, the Health Care Act loses the funding needed.
Since it takes much of the funding away for the Health Care Act, it needs be redone or all of it needs repealed.
OK, so you don't understand what happened? Go read the analyses again, all of them.
The individual mandate was invented by the conservative Heritage Foundation and supported by Republicans.

And the Heritage Foundation had enough sense to acknowledge that what first seemed like a good idea to them was actually not a good idea.
Too bad the President and the derp supporters of ObamaCrap in Congress couldn't be as honest.

I understand what happened, Roberts bitch slapped far right libertarians by agreeing with them that the mandate is not allowed under the commerce clause or the necessary and proper clause, just like you said.

Melting would involve spraying lead I'm pissed not melting.

Not at all. Roberts said the role of the Court was to make sure legislation comported with the Constitution. Thus he substituted taxation for commerce clause.
This will rank him with Marshall and Warren if he keeps it up. Wow!

If you just look at the politics of the judgement, it looks like an objective judge who really interprets the constgitutionbut in reality, Roberts ruled that the individualmadate AS WRITTEN in the law was unconstitutional and then ruled it could be constitutional as argued by the president's attorneys. That in essence is a legislative court maneuver. The law has to be interpreted as written, not argued. The attorneys could say anything, and essentially did. Listen to Obama now. "It is NOT a tax!"

Yup. I think it will go down as one of the shittiest Court decisions in history. In one swipe it rewrites a bill (converting a mandate to a tax) and absolves Congress and the President of passing a bill based on a lie - both parties insisted it was not a tax.

The interesting point I read today is that was originally introduced as a tax and some Democrats balked at that and knew it could never be passed that way. That is when it was changed to a "penalty."

Yep. In one sense you have to admire the 'evil genius' of it all. I don't know whether Obama actually knew Roberts would play along - but denying it was a tax, and then having the Court decree it to be one so it would be constitutional was just brilliant. We sure got fucked.
