Obama and the Democrats will be out of power by 2012, and so will this healthcare foolishness.

That old man has harmed this society in so many ways with his liberal activism on the bench.

“He referenced a 2005 Supreme Court decision that held the federal government could outlaw state-sanctioned medical marijuana even if the substance didn't cross state lines, which was based on a broad interpretation of the commerce clause.”

This has got to be the dumbest interpretation of Obamacare comparisons that I've heard.

If they can control this based on the commerce clause the entire constitution can officially be used as a## wipe because there is NOTHINg that can’t be mandated based on this interpretation.

If the SCOTUS upholds Obamacare, and the personal mandate in particular, then the concept and practice of a government with limits on its power is over and done with.

There will be nothing outside the power of the government over the governed, who will be more accurately referred to as slaves.

The rats had not brought up this pretty recent 2005 SC decision before. I wonder why? Does it have anything to do w/ the fact that it is a pretty flimsy argument at best, and they thought they had better arguments before, but now they are pathetically desperate to cling on to anything to make this unconstitutional mandate constitutional!

Liberals and progressives “interpreting” the Commerce Clause and the General Welfare Clause of the Constitution have done more damage to this nation than many care to admit.

Getting closer to the reset button...

Old - dead - senile - whatever.

J.P. Stevens is almost certainly correct. The SC will foist Obamadeath on us and claim it’s all “constitutional.”

Stevens is a senile old coot, and was an idiot when young too.

If the gov’t can force you to buy life insurance they can force you to do anything.
