I don't mean to interrupt the essay contest, but, throwing around completely false statements like that isn't winning any arguments for you. Took me exactly 2 seconds in google to prove that wrong.

If "every constitutional scholar" could agree on ANYTHING, the world might explode.

I do believe you are confusing legal scholars with constitutional scholars. You are also confusing politics with reality. The Texas state attorney general (Greg Abbott) is not exactly non patisan.

From youk link:

...........Several legal scholars, however, say Abbott's constitutional analysis falls short because it underestimates congressional power and relies on a selective reading of prior Supreme Court rulings.........

So, even the link you posted bolsters my statements.

Granted, there might be a constitutional scholar or two who may have a question about the legality of the mandate but the madate does stand on solid legal constititional ground.

BTW, Obama was himself a "constitutional law professor" so, I believe he would personally be aware of any potential problems in this area.
