I would not want to leave this decision up to the Supreme Court at all.
Tenth Amendment.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the states are reserved to the states, respectively, or to the people.
So what does all that mean?
Because I find that a little bit confusing.
And that's why when that decision came out in the very beginning, when people read it quickly the first time, they thought that the ACA had been struck down.
But it turned out that it was another part of it where it cots-fighted it as a tax and therefore did have the power to it that upheld it.
And this is where we get the phrase in one of the opinions that you can't have a gun to the head.
That's the thing.
I admire that sort of ideological consistency, honestly.
No, I mean, just like a little bit.
I mean, like amongst all this sort of like floating on the sea of all this argument and stuff, and it seems like things just break politically.
It's kind of nice to know that even if everyone is agreeing to the coercion and the commandeering, that they're just like, no, this is not how we do things.
We do things differently.
