Mr Daley should have read the entirety of the published majority opinion before writing this piece. What the ruling did was to establish the individual mandate as a tax. Not only that, this specific tax can be removed in the very same way it was enacted. Let’s revisit… the Senate in particular pulled a little stunt called Budget Reconciliation to enable Obamacare (said with a sneer) to pass the senate with a simple 51 vote majority. That same tax (as it is now defined by LAW) can also be repealed by a simple majority vote of the House, a simple majority vote of the Senate and a signature of the President. Had it been upheld under the Commerce Clause (which it was NOT), it would have been a very very difficult thing indeed to repeal it. All that need be done to repeal it now is to regain a simple majority in the Senate (which polls indicate is a done deal), hold the house (also a done deal) and elect Romney (presently at least a 50/50 proposition according to polls of LIKELY voters). I will be monetarily supporting candidates in this election at a level even greater than I did in 2010 and so are a lot of people I know. We will attain similar results and sweep this socialist law from the books, along with sweeping the author from office.
