PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

141. "RE: It's Romney's fault." |
LAST EDITED ON 07-02-12 AT 03:04 PM (EST)Guess what governmental power a state has that the federal government doesn't have? Police power. That means that a state can compel you to do certain things like buy insurance, but the feds can't. The question in this case was whether the Commerce Clause could be used to circumvent that lack of police power at the federal level. Ultimately, in the only good news portion of this ridiculous ruling, the Supreme Court ruled that it could not be. However, to reach that conclusion and still uphold the law, Roberts had to conclude that the penalty for not buying insurance was a tax. That's not an unreasonable position. But the problem is the Anti-Injunction Act, which holds that a taxpayer has to pay the tax first before he or she can challenge the law under which the tax was imposed. If the "mandate" is actually a tax, then the Supreme Court health care case is moot, regardless of whether the parties want it decided. To reach his conclusion, therefore, Roberts had to hold that the mandate wasn't a tax for purposes of the Anti-Injunction Act, but it was a tax for purposes of federal power. If that seems ridiculous to you, it is. Basically, Roberts wanted to uphold the law. And he did.
