I disagree. The Supreme Court declined to void the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate. They concluded that the government can’t mandate purchase of a private product under the commerce clause, but that this was really a tax which is an enumerated power. So while they could have gutted the law and pointed back to a Congress to pass a solution they found a way to not do so.


Schoolhouse Rock should be updated to include the 60 vote Senate rule. Also the inevitable lawsuits as a fourth step following House, Senate, and Presidential approval.
