Yeah, you are so ticked off about the decision, then Buggy reminds you about who appointed Roberts. Easy to see why you have completely lost sight of the facts.
It's not bad law, nor a stupid decision. It is an obvious interpretation of the Constitution and recognition of hundreds of established precedents. Sure, arguing the matter's constitutionality in the light of the commerce clause is not crystal clear, but as a function of Congress' power to tax it's a slam dunk. That's right - hundreds of precedents. Insulate your home; get a tax credit. Pay tuition to improve job skills: get a tax credit. Mortgage a house; get a tax credit.
Got it yet?
