Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Department of Education—they’re all unconstitutional, too, but they’re not going away in the near future. So we’ll have to see if this holds up.

The difference between the mandate and the entitlement programs is that just by breathing and being alive, you must be insured or pay a penalty tax. You can avoid being enrolled in the entitlement programs—even SS by not working.

Use the same technique used in this case to bring all those down too.

Right - that's why the left is going to use this resurrect the "public option".

The courts will rule that the government cannot force you to buy a private product, so they will just try to make it a "tax" to fund a single-payer government plan.

But did anyone challenge those at the time they were inflicted?

The commerce clause has been misapplied by activists judges to slaughter the constitution and this is why we have a monster federal government and debt with the elite fighting over which party of elitists gets to have total control over the people and who receive foreign and corporate pay offs from election to election.

You waived the Constitution when you signed up for Social Security. Same with your Driver License.
