Power is always shifting and with the coming Republican majority (I hope) perhaps we should remind those on the left that if the Constitution and the Interstate Commerce Clause gives a Democratic Majority the power to mandate everyone buy health insurance, then it also provides a Republican majority the authority to madate everyone puchase at least one handgun, one SUV and one Hank Williams Jr. CD.... luckily they will all be made available at the annual madated Nascar Race we will each required to attend.
YEE HAW
I am afraid that the Democrats might take “man date” seriously. I prefer women...
The senate bill mandates fines were very low $600 per individual and $2000 per family, and Anthony Weiner was claiming there is no penalty for not paying the fines. This (assuming it is true) was done for political reasons, to make it less unpopular. Of course if many people stay uninsured and insurance rates go up then the uninsured will be demonized, to make it popular to increase the fines.
