Whose side is Thomas on anyways? Who cares if it's all unconstitutional. Does he not want to join Roberts in handing the Conservatives such a big win? < / sarc

“the very notion of a ‘substantial effects’ test under the Commerce Clause is inconsistent with the original understanding of Congress’ powers

A lone voice of reason. It's either in interstate commerce, or it's not.

Justice Thomas fails to see the “silver lining” of the Chief Kangaroo’s ruling. He is clearly too dense to understand that Roberts gave conservatives a “major victory”. It’s time that george Will offered Mr. Thomas a spot in his pasture reserved for conservatives who haven’t “grown”. Bob

How can Thomas and Scalia even talk to the commie now? I don’t see how they can even have one iota of respect for his complete sellout of America.

If you haven’t gone to www.zerohedge.com and read the editorial about Guest Post: The Supreme Court And Natural Law, do it now; it’s a good read, but definitely sad and maddening. It’s akin to what Rush said today.

The KardashianCare premise is that there will be no commerce “among the various states”. They specifically prevented crossing state lines to buy insurance in the free market commerce. Each state in mandated to have a system within each state, so the commerce clause (state-to-state or crossing state lines) doesn’t even seem to apply here at all....but I may be wrong.

Commerce is not economic activity

Public use is not public purpose

A penalty is not a tax.

Taxes must be either uniform or apportioned. The fact that Roberts acknowledges some people are exempt from the tax means it is not uniform.

They couldn’t care less.

Meaning no disrespect of the other three conservatives on the SCOTUS, I’ll note that Clarence Thomas looks, listens, thinks, and then speaks plainly and wisely. He uses two eyes, two ears, and one mouth in the proportions God intended.

Isn't that Thomas' point? It's been that way for a long time - each decision adding another cut to the Constitution.

It's not the 1000th cut on its own that kills, but that doesn't much matter once you've died.

An outstanding article.

A breath of fresh air in the midst of the foul stench of so much Romney Republican propaganda.

The Supreme Court’s gutting of the Constitution in the Obamacare case was the bad fruit of the GW Bush administration, no doubt about it. But it was also the first-fruits of Romney Republicanism.

This is the latest in a very long series of unconstitutional laws passed over the past 100+ years.
