You're completely missing the point.
Congress has the Constitutional authority to levy taxes. Congress has NO authority under the Constitution to mandate that any American HAS to buy a commercial product (health insurance) or face fines or other punishment. The state AGs know this full well.
And every single member of the Supreme Court knows this too.
This is far from a black and white issue. There is so much grey area involved its not even funny.
