Seldom has the word fail been so appropriate. The front page has a screen capture from CNN, but Fox got it wrong too!
What is obvious is both Fox and CNN expected it to be overturned.
I love the expression on the Fox News people.
So many pundits, so little brains.
Legal expert, I mean idiot, Jeffrey Toobin with come GREAT description of when Robert got to the taxing power:
And he started reading and the first issue he addressed was the commerce clause — does Congress have the authority under the commerce clause to enact the individual mandate, the requirement that all Americans have insurance. And he basically adopted in its entirety the argument of the challengers to the law. He said this was outside the federal government’s power … So it looked to all the world, for all the world like the chief justice for the majority was going to strike down the law, but then he turned and he said there is a separate justification that the government has offered to support the constitutionality of the requirement that people have health insurance.
And he turned to the taxing power and you could see the smiles of the conservatives in the room. I happened to be sitting right near Orrin Hatch, the Senator from Utah, and you could see their eyes almost roll back in their heads, like are you kidding? He’s going to support it under this ground. Because vast, vast majority of the time in oral argument and during the public discussion of this law has been about the commerce clause powers of the Constitution. But Roberts said we don’t have to, if there is any plausible ground on which to support the constitutionality of an act of Congress, we should cite that law and it became clear he was going to uphold it under the taxing power. And you could see, I saw Sen. Hatch’s face just fall, Michele Bachmann also the courtroom, you saw her astonishment. …
