“To say that the Individual Mandate merely imposes a tax is not to interpret the statute but to rewrite it,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in her dissent to the Supreme Court’s June health care ruling. She attacked Chief Justice John Roberts’ Obamacare decision, noting, “Judicial tax-writing is particularly troubling.”
