The ruling took me by surprise. It was hilarious when Roberts announced that the individual mandate was unconstitutional. All of the right wingers started furiously Tweeting their victory. CNN and Fox News started reporting the good news on the air. That was before Roberts said, but the mandate is actually a tax and that is constitutional. I here that all the celebrating Fox News talking heads faces turned ashen when they found out the ACA was ruled constitutional.
EXTRA! EXTRA! DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN
Before everyone starts calling Obama a liar, like they did on the right wing talk shows, Just remember that the Solicitor General argued the tax angle before the SC. For being such a bumbling idiot the SG sure got a couple of big wins for Obama this week.
One has to wonder why Roberts sided with the majority in this case. Kennedy was the suspected swing vote one way or the other.
