Stunning. The most disastrous Supreme Court decision since Roe v. Wade.
Not only does this obliterate the first amendment and our religious freedom, it opens the door for the government to impose pretty much anything it wants on us under the guise of a tax. I am also disgusted with Roberts for siding with the libs. And why didn't Kagan recuse herself? She helped craft the legal defense for Obamacare.
Now even more reason to vote for Mitt.

The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, drawing cries of disappointment and concern from pro-life and religious freedom advocates nationwide.
Christen Varley, executive director of Conscience Cause, a nonpartisan advocacy organization that works to secure and defend religious freedom, said that she was “extremely disappointed” with the decision.
“The first line of the First Amendment in our Constitution guarantees all Americans the right to religious freedom, as our forefathers intended,” Varley said. “Now, we have opened the door to a government that sees no limit to the amount of freedoms it can take away.”
In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled on June 28 that the law is constitutional, including an individual mandate that requires virtually all individuals to purchase health insurance plans.
The justices said that while this mandate does not fall within the powers afforded by the commerce clause, the penalty that people must pay if they refuse to buy insurance can be understood instead as a kind of tax that Congress is authorized to impose under its taxing power. Didn't Barry tell us it's not a tax?
