Court upholds Obamacare mandate
The chief Justice was the swing vote that allowed this monstrosity to stand. It is a decision that will probably have a profound impact on the coming election. It is one of the most despised laws ever passed and it will surely energize the opposition to get out and vote against Obama and Democrats.
The court found the mandate requirement to be a tax despite Obama's insistence that it was not. (See the video below.) Since it is a tax that disproportionally hits the young, it gives Romney a good chance to make inroads with this group of voters who will bear the burden of paying for Obamacare.
The court did restrict the ability of Congress to manipulate states on Medicaid funding. That could be a benefit to Texas in its current dispute with the Obama administration over Planned Parenthood funding.
Here is the Romney response to the decision.
