I just don't get why it isn't a tax regarding the Anti-Injunction Act, and then it suddenly becomes one. According to Roberts, at least. I think he just wanted to write that snazzy line about how it isn't the Supreme Court's place to protect people from the consequences of their political choices, and figured it would be a whole lot better if it were in a decision upholding Obamacare instead of striking it down.
