"Any doubt that the woman who once stated that "whether a given category of speech enjoys First Amendment protection depends upon a categorical balancing of the value of the speech against its societal costs" is anything other than a radical leftist?"

Why does this make her a leftist? This is the long standing constitutional position with regard to free speech. It is why you can't falsely shout fire in a crowed theater or committ defamation, libel or slander with impunity. As with every single constitutional right, there is a balancing test.

In a NUT shell. The Prez and Congress are the Nuts!

When you stick your hand in your pocket, wallet or purse you are beginning the "Commerce Action". According to those Idjets they have the duty and right to determine how much you have in your pocket, wallet or purse and what you must spend it on.

Healthcare, veggies, and appropriate materiels DEEMED!

Of course Politicians, Prostitues and Porn, (all the same birds of a feather and oily on the gulf), are appropriate commerce!

Overturn Wickard v Filburn!
