My wife and I dumped tv in 1997. We are no longer Consumers. I’ve joked that if the whole country started spending the way we do the economy would collapse overnight.

So, will they mandate that i buy big macs, GM trucks and Viagra so there is no adverse affect on the ecaonomy.

And more to the point, Scalia is talking about constitutionality while Ginsburg is talking economic impact. One belongs on the court. The other is asking the wrong questions.
