That's how it works, yes. This forum is for criticizing political figures. This is not a forum for talking shit about members of the site.
I'm trying to help you conform your conduct to the rules so that you can avoid a ban. It's really up to you whether you choose to heed that advice or disregard it.

You mean he's killing you with logic? Yes, he's clearly done that here, so I guess you are correct.

The 5 judges in the majority are some of the most progressive anti American pukes. Compare them to the real Patriots who were in dissent. Roberts, Soto Mayor, Breyer, Ginsburg, and Kagan...what a joke...They hate America and it's constitution of course they would pass it.
They hate America because they're progressive? That comes close to the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Scotus basically is right until they decide they were wrong, and then make themselves right again.

The intent is still the intent. The point of the law is to force universal healthcare. The individual responsibility discriminates against those who are uninsured, and penalizes them up and until the point that they purchase insurance.
The SCOTUS opinion choses to call it a tax for the sole reason that doing so makes an unconstitutional law appear to be constitutional. Obamacare has become a huge political issue, with lobbyists and special interests shoving it down the nation's throat. I remember when the law was first coming out, South Carolina passed a bill that opposed its implementation.
The individual responsibility is clearly a fine, the ACA is clearly unconstitutional, and opponents of the Act (like myself) were clearly right about its destructive nature.

Once again, what does "right" mean? It ONLY means that you disagree with their opinion.
By definition, The Ecstatic is exactly right.

Here is Obama repeatedly denying that it is a tax. Its just like auto insurance he says.
Start at 3:02. The question is "Under this mandate, the government is forcing people to spend money. Fining you if you don't. How is that not a tax?" *Obama sidesteps question "That may be, but its still a tax increase!" Obama: "for us to say that you've got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase. What it's saying is, is that we're not going to have other people carrying your burdens for you anymore."
Later in the interview
Question: "You reject that its a tax increase? Obama: "I absolutely reject that notion"
Now the argument that makes it constitutional is that it is a tax. The basis for determining tax vs penalty is intent. Above is an interview with Barack Obama in which he vehemently denies that the law is a tax. Listen to the beginning of the interview and note the inaccuracy of all of Obama's "predictions". Its hilarious to see how easily he sold you suckers on such a terrible bill.
