Roberts reached his decision based on the way it was presented to him - as a tax. The Constitution gives Congress the authority to "lay and collect taxes." Otherwise I think Roberts would not have been able to vote in favor. Blame does not lie with Roberts. Whoever came up with the idea to present it as a tax is a genius. He/she knew Roberts would at least have to consider it a valid argument.
So, how long are you going to sit back and wring your hands over whether the CoS is a good idea or not? We have, at this point, nothing to lose. All that you fear is coming true before your very eyes. Fighting it now is, in my view, a better option than waiting. The generations that have come after me (I'm 60) have no concept of limited government. Un-limited government is all they have ever known. The idiots on Capital Hill have just added 3 trillion to the debt. Anyone looked at the Debt Clock in a while? I just did and we're over 20.6 trillion in debt -

What if, what if, what if . . . someone has to do something. It isn't your shadow that will hurt you, it's the man behind the curtain. The black-helicopter-tin-foil-hat-crowd isn't going to help you. All those folks do is spread fear. Sound familiar? If you aren't going to be part of this then just make sure you stay out of the way.
