You keep deliberately ignoring reality, which is that the fines (not taxes) come into effect only AFTER Congress removes the sentence forbidding the IRS from collecting them. They wanted the indivudual mandate up and running for a couple years, to check compliance rates, before the fines kicked in. So the fines are written into the law, but there is a trigger sentence that must be removed, first. Then, the IRS really has no way of collecting them, as they are not taxes, they are fines.
Here: So you are no longer misinformed (deliberately by preference), I suggest you read this memo to Tom Colburn, from the Congressional Research Council, on the PPACA penalties and the IRS, especially pages 4-5 and beyond

Collection of the Penalty for Failure to Maintain Minimum Coverage
Section 5000A(g)(2) of the IRC limits the means the IRS may employ to collect the penalty established in
the section. First, the taxpayer is protected from either criminal prosecution or penalty for failure to pay
the penalty. Second, the IRS is prohibited from either filing a NFTL or levying any property in an effort to
collect the penalty.

If the law is ruled unconstitutional what kind of damages can the victims expect from violating their constitutional rights? The cast of Jersey Shore comes to mind.

Highly doubtful the law will be ruled unconstitutional, based upon the majority "we say it's constitutional" conservative-backed decisions already rendered by the majority of lower courts.
Damages? Wouldn't there be zero, if the fines haven't been collected?
I think you get your information from the cast of Jersey Shore
