  • Justices Brett Kavanaugh and John “It’s a Tax” Roberts signal they will uphold ObamaCare (NR)

Snippet: “It does seem fairly clear that the proper remedy would be to sever the mandate provision and leave the rest of the law in place,” Kavanaugh said Tuesday. … “Congress left the rest of the law intact when it lowered the penalty to zero,” Roberts said. "I think it’s hard for you to argue Congress intended the entire act to fall if the mandate was struck down if the same Congress that lowered the tax penalty to zero did not even try to repeal the rest of the act.“
