Bend over for Obamacare. You asked for it...

I see. So thinking that the federal government has the responsibility to protect citizens from illegal trade and smuggling of hazardous substances is directly relevant to the federal government imposing a health insurance mandate on citizens?

Sorry, but that simply beggars all logic. If you fall for that argument, you'll fall for anything.

So you're just going to ignore the fact that two appeals court justices, both friends of Scalia, cited his opinion in the Raich case to uphold Obamacare?

Like I said, bend over for Obamacare, pal. You asked for it.

The federal government is granted no such authority by the Constitution. The federal government IS granted authority to regulate interstate and cross-border commerce - whether in "hazardous substances" or health care. So the question to you remains: Do the feds have authority to regulate ALL commerce in a given good or service because SOME of that commerce crosses state and/or national borders?
