Most of the Congressional Republicans back him up as being an American. So, if he is not, that's what the country gets for electing all the representatives we have in office and who were are pushing to elect in November.

I vote for neither candidate.

Romney needs to lay out a decisive plan on what he plans to do about the Healthcare issue instead of giving political speech. Saying we are going to repeal without a plan is not going to work. He sounds like

If it were true, the WHOLE government - both Dems and Repubs - would be behind our demise as a country.

I've followed Sheriff Arpaio on the story because he is a no-nonsense kind of guy. They say we will have a surprise in October. We shall see.

ObamaCare Lost on the Medicaid Mandate & Commerce Power. It May Yet Lose on the Tax Power.

Assume, however, the Supreme Court ultimately disagrees and finds that the penalty for not purchasing health insurance is indeed a tax. Nevertheless, say opponents of PPACA, the tax would be unconstitutional. They underscore that taxes are of three types—income, excise, or direct. Each type must meet specified constitutional constraints. Because the mandate penalty under PPACA does not satisfy any of the constraints, it is not a valid tax.

Income taxes, authorized by the Sixteenth Amendment, must (by definition) be triggered by income. Yet the mandate penalty is triggered by the nonpurchase of insurance.

But it seems to me there may be room here for the same individual citizens who brought this case to again file suit against the federal government for trying to impose an unconstitutional tax. It may seem unlikely that Roberts would reverse himself on the Tax Power issue. Then again, since he never specified what type of constitutionally permissible tax the mandate is, perhaps voting to strike the mandate would not be reversing himself.
