Judge Boyce F. Martin, appointed by former President Jimmy Carter, wrote for the majority in the 2-1 ruling. A George W. Bush appointee concurred; a Ronald Reagan appointee who is a U.S. district judge in Columbus sitting on the panel disagreed.
A GW Bush appointee approved rape of the populace under the commerce clause.
Proving once again that W was a piece of crap president and sure as hell no conservative, look at the crap he put on the bench.
It was interesting that the George W. appointee clerked for Scalia, and wrote essentially that plaintiffs had not put on a sufficient case. He stated that the ruling did not preclude “individual” actions by other plaintiffs after the mandate is effective and it becomes clear how it affects particular individuals.
