I was just wondering if 4 Justices voted  to repeal obamacare and 4 Justices voted to pass obamacare as it was written. Then Roberts said he would not pass it as a penalty but then went against all other Justices and voted it was a Tax.
Does this make sense? Was this a 4-4-1 decision?

Well, 4 puppets said, yeah, whatever Obama's wants it, right? One guy actually thought about it and to salve his conscience came up with "it's a tax" so he could arrive at a ruling that wouldn't make Obama scald him in front of congress anymore.

Yeah but the other 4 Justices that also voted to pass obamacare are now coming out and saying Roberts was wrong and that obamacare isn't a tax.

Well, FUCK them.

He wrote the opinion, and he's the CJ.

While I don't totally agree with his decision to allow the law to stand, I do think it was rather clever to spank congress on it's over abuse of the commerce clause.

Yeah I can't find it written but they mentioned a few Justices have disagreed on the new interpretation of the Law on Fox News . We know since Kagen  helped write the Law she clearly wouldn't agree of the Tax part of the decision.

I'd tend to agree, but plenty of damage can be done through taxation. It's funny to think that the power to tax was granted to congress for the purpose of revenue generation, and that's it. Well, that was a looong time ago.
