"I Absolutely Reject That Notion"

That was President Obama's response to George Stephanopoulos a few short months ago when asked if he thought the mandate to buy health insurance constituted a tax.

As NYT reported last Friday, guess whose Justice Department is now arguing in court that the new law is constitutional based on the government's "power to lay and collect taxes"?! 

-----------------

Funny, back than you could not get NYT to publish such an article (questioning the notion of the mandate being a tax).  Now that the law has been signed in to existence, they want to fool people in to thinking that they actually do practice journalism at the Gray Lady.
