I'm no lawyer, and I realize there are nuances to the decision...

Response to Yes they did and that is very disturbing...
...but it does SEEM to set the precedent for Congress to impose a tax on anything it wants under their taxing authority (majority decision), but SCOTUS did (barely - Roberts disagreed with the four "liberal" members) limit Congress' ability for broad authority under the Commerce Clause. This is apparently a significant difference to wonks, but the net effect in the real world is that the individual mandate stands. As a tax, it can be repealed by future Congresses (?).

We'll be talking about this one for a long time.
