OK, so you don't understand what happened? Go read the analyses again, all of them.
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.
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!
Let me see if I understand you here.
Roberts rewrote Obamacare, ignored the clear words, and clear intent, of Congress, and unilaterally declared that something that is not a tax is a tax, and you think this is not judicial activism or legislating from the bench because you agree with the result. The upshot of all of this is I am a partisan hack.
They will rank him with Carter if he keeps this up.
