By rejecting the Commerce Clause rationale, Thursday’s decision reaffirmed the Constitution’s foundational premise: Enumerated powers are necessarily limited because, as Chief Justice John Marshall said, “the enumeration presupposes something not enumerated.”

Had the court dimissed the entire bill/law, it would have had the same effect.

I read the entire article. George is grasping like all the other "silver liners". His presumption is based on the assumed reaction of Americans over the next several decades. By 2015 this will all be a historic event and another nail in the coffin.

Again, had the court dismissed the entire law, we'd be far better off now and in the future (in my opinion).

This silver lining BS is starting to wear on me. Conservatism and American Exceptionalism took an elephant sized colonoscopy and we are supposed to be happy about not finding an elephant sized tumor amidst the painfully torn and bloody flesh that is the result.

By 2015 this will all be a historic event and another nail in the coffin.

Indeed.

When a court makes an "incorrect" decision -- by which I mean, of course, a decision which goes against the Liberals, it just means the fight will continue another day. There will be other cases, other decisions. There will be no let up until some court somewhere eventually "gets it right".

When a court makes "correct" decision -- by which I mean, of course, a decision which goes against Conservatives, then it's over. It's done. It's settled law. That's it. Law of the land and there's nothing you can do.

The Liberals won yesterday and I do not expect that damage to be undone by Romney or anyone who comes after. I expect Roe v Wade to be overturned first. And how is that one coming?
