doesn't have that power. the court basically send the argument of the critics here who said that those three words in the constitution that congress has the power to, quote, regulate commerce, means that congress can regulate people already involved in commerce but if you don't have insurance, not in commerce, therefore, they can't drag you into the stream of commerce to regulate all the court by a very narrow margin upheld that or at least is there a controlling number of justices who would hold that. that is not a unanimous decision, i would say of the majority. this is a plurality opinion with a splinter here but that's what the chief justice writes in his opinion for the justices who agree with him. but the court left intact the tax, the penalties, under the law as wrirngs you bought insurance or you paid the penalty what the court has left in place is the "or you pay the penalty part." the admin station views that as a win.รง
