Apparently Adams did not read what Roberts wrote:
Construing the Commerce Clause to permit Congress to regulate individuals precisely because they are doing nothing would open a new and potentially vast domain to congressional authority. Congress already possesses expansive power to regulate what people do. Upholding the Affordable Care Act under the Commerce Clause would give Congress the same license to regulate what people do not do. The Framers knew the difference between doing something and doing nothing. They gave Congress the power to regulate commerce, not to compel it. Ignoring that distinction would undermine the principle that the Federal Government is a government of limited and enumerated powers. The individual mandate thus cannot be sustained under Congress’s power to “regulate Commerce.”
Whip-de-do. Totally irrelevant. Power is power no matter the Constitutional justification.
Congress, the President will say anything to justify increasing the power of the State over the individual. One can try and rationalize this or that, but the very simple fact is that Liberty was dealt a death blow today.
Roberts clearly and decisively sided with State Power. The "regulate Commerce" phrasing is insulting. We are far beyond such trivialities of language.
We have entered the phase of raw, unbridled power wielded by Men who want to rule over others with an Iron fist.
Liberty is on life support in our Republic.
I think Adams has a better understanding than you do. What Roberts said is that Congress cannot force the citizenry by law to buy health insurance, but it can coerce the citizenry by taxation to do so. This is a distinction without a difference.
What I mean by above is that the power will not be wielded as done by dictators in the past.
It will be as Mark Levin states, a soft tyranny
The ruling class in D.C. will control our lives in every manner through endless regulations and edicts. They will intimidate us, humiliate us and fine us in order to bend us to their will.
Those doing the bidding of the elites will be enthusiastic people who relish the chance to be sadistic to their fellow citizens. There are large numbers of people who relish being part of such tyranny. It wont be a physical tyranny, but just as evil as any humans have experienced -- for they will take away our humanity.
