      The Supreme Court ruled that the law was legal under the Congress's tax authority.  What it did NOT rule on was if the method of its passage was legal, a completely separate issue.

      The ACA got passed via a process that was less than kosher.
      They took a completely unrelated bill, gutted it, inserted completely new and unrelated text while pretending it was a mere amendment.

      If the origination clause is to be respected at all, this must be considered
      a bill that originated from the Senate.  If it originated from the Senate, then it is unconstitutional on its face since it is a Tax bill.  If you say it is not a tax bill, then the ACA has no legal basis to stand on.

      While this may be "new" to the writers of the article, it was something being discussed quite a bit last year.  This was why Obama was saying it was not a tax over and over again, he knew that as a tax it was not a constitutionally passed law.
