Did anybody predict that the Court (here's the opinion--HT Lucas Thorpe) would uphold Obamacare under the Tax Clause?
Actually, Yes. [HT James Kreines] as well as prominent political theorist, Jacob Levy.
I think the bottom line can be characterized as follows: Congress can explicitly deny that a statue is a tax; if it is a tax, Congress can tax.
Doesn't this open the door to a national, uniform welfare state?
Anyway, I bet among our readers are more informed views.
