Individual mandate shot down

that is incorrect... they said it was not valid as an extension of the commerce clause... but it was upheld as a tax. Meaning Congress has to use it as a tax..

I guess. At least 4 justices agreed with them. I don't see how it fits within the types of taxes listed that the Fed. Government can use. I need to read this ruling. It isn't an excise tax, nor is it an income tax. Which type of tax does it fall under?

Anyway, they ruled that the government cannot say, "Buy this from this list of government approved winners or be punished"... they were right about that. They were just wrong on what they'd do about it.
 
So, will this Help President Obama as his signature accomplishment is upheld. Or will backlash add to the urgency of the Romney campaign?

I don't see this as a unconservative decision. I have not bought into the crazy train that is driving the R party. The mandate is and always was a pro-business, conservative idea. You need only go back to the 90's. I am not surprised by this. I would not have been surprised if he overturned either. You never know who is driving the con train, but you do know it's either the big crazy or big business.

Good question. Considering that it is so very unpopular they may have handed the election to Romney... :dunno:

I say it could go either way...can't wait to see. It's kind of like watching a football game now.

Since Romney signed the same damned think when he was Governor, and since there absolutely is going to be a big, throbbing, furious backlash on the right - this may hurt ROmney.

It's so very unpopular with your friends Damo, and they were never voting for Obama. Being ruled constitutional will only help him with Independents. And the crazies you hang with are just going to be reminded that Romney was all for this. You know, before he was against it.

I say this hurts Romney.
