It’s over. The U.S. Supreme Court signed off on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
But in a twist ripped from the pages of a “Law & Order” script, the Supremes ruled the mandate out of bounds while endorsing the Congressional authority over taxation.
The sudden reclassification not only confused a couple of major news networks, but both presidential camps, who still wrestle with the syntax. Look for this war over words to last the rest of the campaign. But as distressing as this ruling might be for all of us, I’m much more concerned about the bigger picture and the historical integrity of the Court itself.
