What gets me is USSC political hack judges are allowed to make straw man arguments instead of doing their effen job of making sure laws passed by congress are allowed by the Constitution.
Kennedy’s concern about some hypothetical young person increasing insurance costs is NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL argument. Either the Constitution allows the Federal Government to force us to buy insurance or it does not. I does not matter one iota if then net result is good or bad in the eyes of government as if it were bad the only way to resolve the issue is to AMEND the Constitution not just bend it because it makes you feel better. Unfortunately most of those pieces of crap on the USSC are ignorant of this fact or don’t give a damn and will continue to use a judicial activist position to modify the Constitution without using the ONLY method which is Constitutional and that is the amendment process.
What worries me is that he’s looking at it as about “some hypothetical young person increasing insurance costs “
when the argument is about “some hypothetical young person being forced to contribute to reduce other’s insurance costs “.
The government wants to require them to pay because they are such profitable insurance risks and that profit is going to be used to reduce medicare and medicaid costs.
The media has hid the fact that Obamacare is a system to force the young to contribute more towards older people’s healthcare and I hoped and expected that to be prominent in this hearing.
Kennedy is the lone liberal on the court, I can’t ever figure him out.
But any sign his heart is ‘bleeding’ is a bad sign.

In that sense, we’ve already lost. The complete destruction of our constitutional form of government is just a matter of time.
