WASHINGTON A divided Supreme Court on Thursday morning upheld the Obama administration’s health-care law, in a landmark decision that reshapes the medical and political landscapes.

In a ruling that reconfigures the legal, political and medical landscapes, the court majority, led by Chief Justice John Roberts Jr., upheld the so-called individual mandate, which requires most people to buy health insurance or pay a fine. The 5-4 majority concluded that Congress had the authority to impose the mandate under its taxing powers.

Roberts joined with the court’s four liberal justices in the ruling: With the decision, the rest of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was upheld, save for a Medicaid expansion requirement.

Unfortunately lying is free speech--and I agree with the cpurts on this one--free speech is protected. Fortunately, lies are hard to cover these days. If someone lies about something that is recorded, like service records, you can quickly validate those lies.

This moron clained a CMOH. It would take two minutes to determine he was lying. Free speech also includes exposing liars.
