1/ SCOTUS agrees 7-2 with #ObamaCare critics like @jadler1969 & me (nypost.com/2019/03/28/oba…) that the plaintiffs in #CAvTX lacked standing to challenge #ObamaCare's individual mandate: supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…. GOP appointees Roberts, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Barrett joined majority. 
2/ #CAvTX arose after Roberts in #NFIBvSebelius saved the #ACA by interpreting the mandate as a tax. NFIB "gutted the Constitution's political-accountability constraint, which had prevented Congress from creating the mandate via Congress' taxing power." forbes.com/sites/michaelc…
3/ Roberts' opinion indicated that if the Court could not interpret the mandate as a tax, the mandate would have been unconstitutional.
