A year ago, no one took seriously the idea that a federal health care mandate was unconstitutional. And the idea that buying health care coverage does not amount to "economic activity" seems preposterous on its face.
Got that? Buying health insurance is economic activity so the Feds have the power to make you do so.
But, buying oranges or porn is also economic activity. If Congress felt like making Americans purchase oranges or porn they would have the power?
I'm sorry, but you have to be almost brain dead to find that an argument to be squared with even the most basic notion of individual freedom. Or you have to be a Stalinist. (Six one half dozen the other I know.)
