Supreme Court. Individual mandate

[R.D.]

What is unconstitutional is that the commerce part of it. But they upheld it as a tax which I find funny when Obama himself said that it was NOT a tax .. confusing

Romney gets a boost

 

[Quantum Windbag]

So bama and the dimocrats just raised everybody's taxes..

You're an idiot.

The idiot is the guy who doesn't know that he just got screwed.

 

[rightwinger]

I think you are celebrating too early

Obamacare held, the Mandate is constitutional as a tax

God Bless America

 

[g5000]

2/3 of Americans are opposed to the individual mandate. So Romney has a mandate to repeal the ACA.

That will be his plank going forward.

It's not confusing it's the government. Their here to help you.

Now who going to pay for my healthcare because I quit working ?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Mandate is a tax.

Mandate is EVERYONE participates.

If insurance-companies resume jacking-up rates/premiums.....they're screwin' with a LOTTA PEOPLE!!!​

 

[Papageorgio]

It was upheld as a tax. The mandate that is.

already said that, but you are correct. It's a huge win for Obama. This is teh same thing as Romneycare

Four More Years.

I thought the left said it didn't matter if the Court upheld Obama care or not and it would not help or hurt his re-election chances. More hype.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

If reports are true that's great. Sets it up for a big election issue as Mitt has already said he'd work to get rid of it.

need both Houses and the GOP favorite - 60 votes in the Senate if control of both,

so GOP over the years have shot themselves in the foot on Senate rules and more...

Obama will be hailed as a great President.

No wonder Scalia was frothing at the mouth the other day....he knew how Roberts was going to vote.

Under the bus asap

On odd numbered days, Obama said it was not a tax. On even numbered days, he said it was.

The ACA is upheld, only the mandate is thrown out. An easy fix.

The health care industry cannot exclude anyone. Pre-existing conditions cannot be denied.

Chief Justice Roberts and the four liberals split the baby, and it lived.

Now it gets interesting. Romney' case is "do you really want this?"

[NYcarbineer]

Biggest tax increase in US history and another broken promise.

Nice try.

The mandate was not thrown out. It was redefined as a tax and it stands.

Amazing how one guy who vowed to bring us together, can make a country so divided

'Divide and Conquer.' It's the Saul Alinsky 'Community Organizer' way. I tried to tell people this guy was far from being a 'Uniter.' He's the exact opposite.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Let the arguments begin.

As a tax, yes. As a mandate, oh hell no.

It seems like a very wise opinion.

I still don't like the Act, but now that is back in the hands of Congress.

Yes...as opposed as I am to the Act, the Supreme Court has found based on both the Constitution, and the concept that two branches had found it to be constitutional.

The bill is now where it belongs: in the hands of Congress.

The focus is now on the election.

President Obama -- oops!


5 -4 ruling.

Kennedy in dissent and Roberts with majority.

fuck Justice Kennedy

 

[clevergirl]

The mandate now becomes a tax~ The largest tax in US history. The good news from this is that a tax can be legislatively repealed.
