Trump to Justice John Roberts on the ACA Mandate: "There, I fixed it for you."

[MarathonMike]

Another benefit of the GOP tax plan is that it eliminates the unconstitutional Obamacare mandate. You will recall that Chief Justice Roberts in a moment of confusion and partisanship decided "Hey it's Constitutional because, uh, it's a tax!". Well since you deemed it a tax, then that made it fair game to be addressed in the tax bill and !Voila! Gone. Bye Bye. Trump fixed it for you.

Roberts was legally right, MarathonMike is still confused, and Trump finally got a major victory.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Roberts was legally right

I disagree, but it’s in the past now, so it is what it is, or rather, was.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Roberts' opinion counts, yours (and mine): so what.

 

[MarathonMike]

Yes Jake I share the same confusion as Justice Scalia about Robert's ruling.

 

[Aba Incieni]

Roberts broke the tie and ruled it was a tax. Congress accepted his ruling and removed the tax, as per the Constitution.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Yeah, but that's Scalia, and at the end, he's gone.
