Now that it's been established that the mandate is a tax congress can repeal the mandate/tax.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

My guess is that some Dem would try to fillibuster it, and Mitch McConnell would have to grow a pair and say, "Put up or shut up."  Make the Dems look like utter and complete fools when they carry it out, for wanting to keep the largest tax increase in American history.  If you don't think that some Dems that are up for re-election in 2014 won't defect en masse, well, :stoner: is you.

What if the Govt. Told You You MUST Purchase a Gun? ...I'd ask, "Can I get mine in a 16" naval gun?"

It is now a tax according to the Supremes.  Therefore it would be voted under reconcilliation.  They can't filibuster it.

It could have been repealed by 51 even without this decision declaring it a tax. The Dems passed it that way, no reason it couldn't be repealed exactly the same way.

For that matter, 50 will do it, and a Republican Vice President.
