The American Republic died today. Granted, it had been on life support for decades, but with today's Supreme Court ruling that the ObamaCare mandate is Constitutional, the Republic expired. At least we have resolved the alternatives posed by Lysander Spooner: "But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it." Today the Supreme Court has told us that the Constitution authorized a government whose power has no limits. The death of the Republic might not be noticed for a while. Things will seem to go an as before. We will still have elections. Politicians will still make promises. But at best those things will be the twitchings of a corpse. Today the Republic died.

The American Republic died today.

No, it did not.

It died on January 22, 1973.

A government which arrogates to itself the power to decide who is and who is not human, to decide who may be killed with impunity, recognizes no limits whatsoever on its power. Such a government is not a republic; it is a totalitarian tyranny. It may dress itself up in republican trappings, but is no more a republic than the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea.

Nationalizing industries, compelling people to purchase products they do not want, and extorting money from people to fund activities they find morally repugnant is nothing to such a government.

No, FRiend.

The Great Republic died, the American Experiment failed years ago.

Today's decision is just some more of the cover coming off the putrid filth of its rotting corpse.

Roberts attacked the Constitution with extreme MALICE in order to appease his liberal friends. So much for Federalism. We now have a marxcist dictatorship and I wonder what this says about the November elections. Will there be a martial law moment to prevent the election from going ahead???
