[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, Obamacare was ruled constitutional based on TAX-which the Dems insisted was not in the bill.[/quote] So it is constitutional #moveon [/quote] Actually, the Supreme Court has no legal right to change a term to make something constitutional. It was a huge over-reach of power. The forefathers rolled over in their graves.[/quote] Oh dear. Someone needs to brush up on their Marbury v. Madison. [/quote] The judges said 'we think Obama meant tax, not fine after Obama said over and over it wasn't a tax. That's not interpretation, that's over-reach. They should have ruled it unconstitutional and made Obama change it. See the difference? There's a reason Obama said it was not a tax[/quote] Really? Chief Justice Roberts said, "we think Obama meant tax"? No, he didn't. First, the federal government did assert that the ACA was a constitutional exercise of the government's taxing power. Second, the Court held that regardless of what the fine was called, it operated as a tax. Third, it's not at all overreach - the Court looked at how the mandate/fine operated (not what it was called) and determined that it was constitutional. It doesn't matter what it is called - it's not in the power of the Executive to try to impact the Court's decision with with labels, much like the signing statements Bush was so fond of don't control and are not binding on the Court.[/quote] That's not actually what the Supreme Court said, so we can stop reading you now.[/quote]
