The present court ruled in full accordance with the regulations that previous congresses have put in place.

Do you have any clue as to what Appelate Jurisdiction is?

The court didn’t initiate this action; a state Attorney General determined that congress had exceeded its constitutional authority, and sued for restoration of constitutional protections.

.
There was no legislation from this bench. Its findings were based on the literal reading of the text of the constitution, and accepted definitions of terms.

.
> “Or that political questions should be decided in court?”

So in your opinion, discarding the constitution is just acceptable politics? Not revolution by extra-constitutional usurpation of authority?

You have clearly defined yourself as a totalitarian statist with that post.

Doublethink.

The jurisdiction exercised by the Supreme Court if and when it hears this issue. Nice foot shot.

Ah, yes, the individual mandate clause. Look out Social Security!

So in your opinion, discarding the constitution is just acceptable politics?

No, that would be you. You want the courts to legislate. You want the courts to decide political questions. You depend on imaginary clauses in the Constitution.

Congress should repeal the legislation, notwithstanding your opposition to and contempt for representative government.
