Starting to wonder if someone got to him; it’s the Chicago Way.

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised. Gonzales v Raich and Wickard v Filburn are nasty precedents.
Thank the War on Drugs and the New Deal.

Laurence Silberman has been assimilated by the Washington DC cocktail borg.

The Supreme Court is ultimately going to have to decide if Obamacare is unconstitutional. We can’t count on that happening so we’ll have to work hard to get a Republican President and Congress elected to get it repealed in toto. We’ve been placed on notice.

This ruling was very bad news indeed. Silberman ruling that Obamacare is a-okay suggests that there won’t be 5 justices on the Supreme Court to overturn it. There are only 4 conservatives and a moderate anyway, and Silberman is pretty influential. This tells me that, at minimum, Kennedy will probably side with the liberals since he now has a normally stalwart conservative he can model his opinion around.

Since they refuse to uphold the Constitution they must be impeached, imprisoned as traitors and stripped of any pensions accrued.

If this is upheld by the SCOTUS, that will mean all three branches of the federal government have now repudiated the U. S. Constitution and patriotic Americans no longer can rely on any branch of the government when it comes to the protection of their constitutional rights. It will also mean the federal government will have lost whatever moral authority it has to govern. It will be up to loyal American patriots to reestablish the Constitution as the supreme law of the land and the primary restraint on government attempts to control all aspects of human activity.

Maybe that’s why Obama took the breaks off and wanted this thing completed before the election.

Damn!
This is NOT good. This opinion could give Justice Kennedy the perfect ‘out’ when it reaches the Supreme Court.

At first I was not worried about this decision. Now? Well, it simply says we have reached the imperative moment in our Republic to elect a Conservative President who will undo this mandate. It is likely our last chance (at least in my lifetime).

After this guys bench, where does the case go?
To: SeekAndFind
If Congress can force citizens to purchase services involuntarily as a mere condition of citizenship, then the Constitution’s enumeration of powers and reservation of all rights not so enumerated to the people are both rendered meaningless. We might as well live in China.
