Re: SCOTUS LIVEBLOG - Obamacare Mandate Survives [W:125, 384]

covering it live on the blog. mods- not sure if this is the best venue, but it was "breaking"
Also, the Stolen Valor Act was declared to be in violation of the First Amendment, so any of you who are fake war heroes can go on telling people how you were a Green Beret Seal who won the Medal of Honor.
Damn. Damn Damn Damn. Apparently they bought that it was a tax, Roberts has sided with the left of the Court.
the Medicaid expansion was "limited but not invalidated"
Seriously, you gotta be F'ing kidding me. Obama spent a year and a half swearing up and down that this wasn't a tax, Congressional leadership following in suit.
