    Supreme Court upholds Obamacare individual mandate as a tax

    In a victory for President Barack Obama, the Supreme Court upheld his signature health care law's individual insurance mandate in a 5-4 decision, upending speculation after hostile-seeming oral arguments in March that the justices would overturn the law. The mandate has been upheld as a tax, with Chief Justice John Roberts, a Bush appointee, joining the liberal wing of the court to save the law.

    That's one angle of attack for healthcare reform down. Depending on the way things end up after November ends, it could still be up on the chopping blocks.

    In the Spirit of Sankofa,




    ... The Supreme Court ruled on constitutionality of "the mandate," explain what November has to do with that...outside of repeal.
