Interesting. Looks like they're upholding the individual mandate BUT it's NOT constitutional under the commerce cause. They're treating it as a tax... which is odd cause even the Obama administration abandoned that line of argument in the debate.

Also amusing, Howard Dean thought the ruling should go the same way as me. So much for me holding an "extreme right wing view"

 

Seens like the best ruling if your hellbent on keeping the individual mandate but don't want to expand the commerce clause to all government to make people buy Kenny G Cds.

As it's a tax, does this mean that they cannot rule on it until it gets enforced? Like 2014?

Or is it constitutional, 100%


Sounds like they're saying it's constitutional.  They're still sorting through it though.  It's funny both sides argued it wasn't a tax.   Then the Supreme court rules it a tax.
