RE :”I don’t pay attention to media celebrities, but this Levin guy you keep talking about sounds pretty bright. “
Just another ‘constiutional purist” that only objects to actions that he dislikes (socialist stuff) that are not authorized in the written constitution but is happy with ones he likes. Conservative violations of purity like Scalia (who is my favorite) ruling partial birth abortion federal law IS constitutional makes the purist position DOA even as a defendable concept. And Levin is a phony,
How about a law “If you dont get insurance the hospital doesnt have to treat you without valid credit or cash” ? So instead of a fine its “You are on your own”. Unfortunately my first idea has a much better chance than this one which is why I wrote it.
So you assert. I've never payed attention to what he writes or says so you'd have to cite specific examples before I would find your assertions valid (not to suggest they aren't, since I know quite a few "conservatives" who have little if any actual respect for the Constitution).

Nonsense. The only think that statement demonstrates is that your thought processes are completely irrational on the issue of Constitutional integrity. A mad-lib style random sentence generator could come up with a more legitimate argument. Such a statement is no more valid than insisting the 2nd amendment is a collective right because Ginsburg said it was.

If a state wants to pass a law like that, sure. But it would be just as illegal at the Federal level as any other health-care law.

What you are advocating is a crime.
