This is impressive, all the righties here know the law better than justice Roberts and even more amazing all the ET righties seem to be on their period at the same time too.
lol. no kidding. if jesus himself came back and said the rich should give up some of their wealth to help the poor they would scream "crucify him".
Health care tax is unconstitutional; decision must be appealed - GreenTrader Weblog http://www.greencompany.com/blog/index.php?postid=155
It's been a lot of years since political science class but if my memory is correct the law is officially constitutional now. And there is no appeal except for an amendment to the constitution. And if my memory is fading I stand corrected.
Roberts is making very clear that any method of raising revenue done by Congress should be defined as a "Tax". In a broad sense this is true. If the public can understand this, it might lead the way to controlling spending. Governments everywhere are less effective in raising revenue with straightforward tax increases so they hide these through fees, mandates, bonds sales and other stealth methods. Victory for the Tea Party.
I believe there is a 30-day period appeal process, although it's limited. 28 USC § 2101 - Supreme Court; time for appeal or certiorari; docketing; stay | LII / Legal Information Institute http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/2101 I read you can get a rehearing with 25 days, too. Or, bring up a new case to seek to overturn the ruling.
I didn't know about this or the effects. I think if romney is elected, it is obvious that Roberts should be encouraged to resign. He seems like a decent man and it is wrong to leave him in a position where he embarrasses himself like this.
