an interesting take...

how do you figure? this decision gives congress carte blanche under the tax and spend power enumerated in the constitution. contrast that to the CC where the court has previously limited congressional power under the CC. can you name one case where the court has limited congressional power under the T and S clause?
to repeal a law you just pass a new bill!
 
The most that can credibly be said about the Commerce Clause aspect is that the Supreme Court did not expand Congress's recognized powers under the Commerce Clause.
how can you say this knowing that not only can congress tax you for the purchase of specific pieces of property, but can now tax you if they tell you to purchase it, and don't?

the power to tax is the power to destroy, and the USSC just gave congress that power to destroy anyone in anyway they choose.

What can be done?
 
I guess this was Roberts paying the president the debt he owed him for having sworn him in incorrectly!
