    It was initiated in the Democrat controlled House of that time. What Peter should have said is that the Senate doesn't have the power to intitiate taxation. Indeed that is the very point of contention now being litigated about ObamaCare and could in fact bring the whole thing down.

    Isn't some of the current litigation claiming the Senate actually originated the tax increases under ObamaCare, which is clearly unConstitutional?
