that requirement legal, as the power of the government to tax is constitutional.....
I thought Roberts ruling was BS. But the anti commandeering doctrine is not relevant to it.
EDIT: Or at least, it is not relevant to the individual mandate tax/penalty. The medicaid expansion did raise some of those issues but was not ruled to violate anti commandeering doctrine because it was only related to new funds.

Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
