Downsize DC made the winning argument! Again! The repeal Obamacare case Retweet
You funded it, we did it, and the results are in — Downsize DC wins again! We and our partners filed the only amicus curiae brief making the argument that just overturned Obamacare. Here’s the story…
Obamacare mandated that people must buy health insurance or be fined. Congress argued that they had the power to do this under the commerce clause.
The Supreme Court rejected this argument. Instead, they said that the fine was really a tax, so the mandate was constitutional based on the congressional power to tax. Then, last year, Congress set the tax to zero. We and our legal partners argued that zero tax is the same as no tax, therefore the taxing power could no longer be used to justify Obamacare.
Judge Reed O’Connor just ruled in favor of that argument in Texas v U.S.!
Please understand, our amicus curiae brief (the brief that many people reading this helped to fund) was the only one filed in support of the winning argument. What comes next?
