This is identical to what I was thinking when it was passed as a tax.. it must go back and be passed as a tax. The supreme court does not have the function nor the power to pass a tax on the american people.
The majority of people - on both sides of this issue - believe that the SCOTUS ruling ends the Obamacare issue. In reality, it does anything but. About the only thing Roberts did was say, in effect, "This isn't our problem," and washed his hands of it.

Nor does the senate and the O'Care originated in the senate.

So it's back to Congress...
Pretty much. He's probably sitting in Malta shaking his head.
Clause 1: All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.
9/17/2009:Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
10/7/2009 2:35pm:Mr. Blumenauer moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill.
10/7/2009 2:35pm:Considered under suspension of the rules. (consideration: CR H10550-10554)
10/7/2009 2:35pm:DEBATE - The House proceeded with forty minutes of debate on H.R. 3590.
10/7/2009 3:02pm:At the conclusion of debate, the Yeas and Nays were demanded and ordered. Pursuant to the provisions of clause 8, rule XX, the Chair announced that further proceedings on the motion would be postponed.
10/8/2009 12:08pm:Considered as unfinished business. (consideration: CR H11126-11127)
10/8/2009 12:15pm:On motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill Agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: (2/3 required): 416 - 0 (Roll no. 768). (text: CR 10/7/2009 H10550)
10/8/2009 12:15pm:Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
10/8/2009:Received in the Senate. Read the first time. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under Read the First Time.
The record above shows the bill was received on 9/17/2009 in the HoR, and was received in the Senate on 10/8/2009.
Now, I don't know if there is another definition that can be used for "originate" in this context, but it looks like it started or originated in the HoR.

All you great legal minds think alike. Why don't you shoot Roberts a text about this, since your legal knowledge is obviously greater than his?
