this way, is there anything for which we cannot be taxed? >> i'm sure the answer to that is, there is something but, sitting here, given the incredible breadth the chief justice put on the tax definition under the constitution, it is hard for me to conceive immediately of what that might be. along the lines of scott's comment, one of the things i might have thought was, it couldn't be an excise tax on doing nothing. they've supplied excise taxes to work before, for instance, for social security. but, for doing nothing, the failure to do something, this is, itself, brand new and it is part of why the chief justice has expanded the taxing power to a point never imagined by the founders in his opinion here. and, it is very unfortunate, it could cause a serious problem in the future, but i will point out, the one power that congressman and senators are most afraid of voting on is the tax power.
