Date: October 20th, 2025 10:02 AM Author: Cumstein the opposite is true. SCOTUS literally said Obamacare was valid as a tax (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787864&forum_id=2most#49361435) |

Date: October 20th, 2025 10:11 AM Author: todd bonzalez “Challengers of the Affordable Care Act maintained that the individual mandate's enforcement mechanism was not a tax. The Court agreed. Because the ACA calls the individual mandate's shared responsibility payment a ‘penalty’ instead of a ‘tax’, it prevents the penalty from being treated as a tax under the Anti-Injunction Act.”
yes, i am aware there are separate, seemingly conflicting holdings in the opinion. because the fact seems to have gone completely over your head, i feel i should clarify that my glib, toss-off response to your glib, toss-off op was not intended to be a comprehensive deep dive into the constitutional interpretation of “tax.” |

Date: October 20th, 2025 10:14 AM Author: Cumstein now cf with Brett’s COA dissent in Seven-Sky
here’s the wiki entry btw:
“The Supreme Court, in an opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, upheld by a vote of 5–4 the individual mandate to buy health insurance as a constitutional exercise of Congress's power under the Taxing and Spending (taxing power). |
