Seems to me Roberts has succeeded in calling the ACA mandate what Obama insisted it wasn’t. Now the middle class gets their tax. Some are calling it an 8 trillion tax! I don’t know how much it is, but it will hit the middle class in a big way. Roberts gets the whole left side of the court to call it a tax. What can Obama say to that?

This is Romney’s election to lose.

What is Roberts doing? The mandate wouldn’t have passed as a tax, so why does Roberts think he can change it into one? Is it because he’s not really a conservative judge? Changing the Act as written by Congress is simply judicial activism. Instead, it should have been sent back to congress.

On the other hand, what will the people do now that they’ve been assessed a tax?
