Upheld as a tax, not under the commerce clause.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

CNN says it's overturned, SCOTUSBlog says it's upheld.  Huh?
Probably a Dewey beat Truman kind of thing.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It's the old "two-version" trick.  They fired off the wrong headline; it's happened a couple times this year already.  They seriously need to fire whoever's in charge of web content deployment.
Experience bij!

Doesn't this go against his narrative of the terribly partisan and corrupt Supreme court?  Can't wait to see his reconciliation of his two positions. :)

Actually, they misread the opinion in a quick read through, at least the TV version of CNN did.

Berkut's going to explode when he finds out you called him a loyal partisan :o

Berkut is going to ignore his lame troll, as well he should.

What I heard yesterday was that Roberts was going to wait & see how the other voting went.  If it was 4-4, he'd vote to strike it down, but if it was 5-3 in favor of the law, he'd side with those in favor so that he could write the majority opinion and 'limit the damage', so to speak.  I didn't think it likely, but it looks like the latter may have actually happened.

This is probably better for Romney then Obama with regards to the election I'd think, the Tea Party will be super pumped to come out and vote, while if they'd won I think a lot would have passed on Romney.

What does that mean?

Nothing:
QuoteTom: Apologies - you can't refuse to pay the tax; typo. The only effect of not complying with the mandate is that you pay the tax.
