Asking the Wrong Question in the ACA case
Marty Lederman, Balkinization - 7 hours ago
Jason's post this morning is entitled "Is the Individual Mandate Without Tax Consequences Unconstitutional?" The answer to that question is: Yes. If one treated Chief Justice Roberts' opinion in *NFIB v. Sebelius* as controlling precedent--as a majority of the Court would do, even if technically it was dicta--then of course an "individual mandate" to maintain Obamacare-compliant health insurance would be unconstitutional. But that's not the question raised in *California v. Texas*. The determinative question is, instead, *whether* the 2017 Congress, and President Trump, enac...
