The Supreme Court has just declared that Congress can force almost ANYTHING on us (except perhaps telling the truth about military service), so long as the penalty for non-compliance is a tax.

I would have rather Roberts just upheld the commerce clause argument rather than open this pandora's box.

What Roberts did goes far beyond this law.

You are spot on. This was worse than anything we’ve been imagining. I’m amazed that so few people here on Free Republic have woken up to that yet, and I wonder who is going to be the first conservative with a national voice to figure it out.
