Obamacare now invalid because all taxes must originate in the House not the senate

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) may now be invalid because the Supreme Court ruled that it relies on a tax for implementation.

According to the United States Constitution, all tax bills must originate in the House of Representatives. This law originated in the Senate, because at the time the Democrats were selling it as a purchase - not a tax. Since the Supreme Court has ruled that the law is indeed based on a tax increase, it would have had to be initiated as a bill in the House of Representatives.

Consequently, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Law is unconstitutional on a different criteria than the ones considered by the Supreme Court in this latest landmark decision. By calling the individual mandate unconstitutional but allowing the law as a federal program to be funded by new taxes, Justice Roberts essentially nullified the law.

Will ObamaCare Lead To Romney Victory?  I think CJ Roberts probably had that in mind.  Do you think SCOTUS will put up with threats?

Yes, Roberts dodged the bullet.

LOL, chickens voting for Col. Sanders.  Good one!

Roberts is considered to be a genius and this move by him shows it to be true. Chicago politics are based on threats but I think CJ beat Oman in a well played game of chess where congress is to be blamed for the outcome. Getting this through the Republican House will take a lot of threats. I remember when the bill was in the house and senate the first time, Martial law was threatened if they did not pass it. Never  before has a bill been so hated by so many and been pushed down the throat of so many by so few. Voting for Obomacare is like chickens voting for Col. Sanders.

Did anyone check the Executive Orders? lol

How could CJ Roberts rule in the way he did? Threats?

That sly dog, CJ Roberts.  I was thinking he was letting it pass because it would be nullified with the new president.  This is even better.
