TIMOTHY P. CARNEY — Chief Justice John Roberts' judicial sleight of hand, transforming Obamacare's mandate into a tax, was a fittingly twisted save for a law of such grisly provenance. Born of tawdry liaisons between industry lobbyists and political hacks, passed through naked logrolling and legislative skullduggery, Obamacare wasn't finalized until Thursday, when the chief justice, in effect, amended the bill so that it would become constitutional...

ROBERT KNIGHT — When is a tax not a tax? Answer: When you're busy pushing a major expansion of government like Obamacare. The tax that is not a tax becomes a "penalty" or a "shared responsibility payment" in the text of the bill. In campaign lingo, it becomes an "investment"... (more)

HUMAN EVENTS — Obama's power grabs are designed to implement his ideological goals, no matter whether they violate his oath of office. November can't come soon enough.

PHILIP KLEIN — In the immediate aftermath of the health care ruling, Chief Justice John Roberts' decision to side with the Supreme Court's liberal bloc to uphold President Obama's national health care law came under a furious assault from the right.

JOSEPH FARAH — This was a momentous news day. It was the day the U.S. Supreme Court held the Constitution in contempt and the day the Congress held Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt.
