It doesn’t take a lawyer or “Constitutional scholar” to understand that this proposed law is unconstitutional, in fact being either of those is an impediment these days! Spouting legal jargon while dressed in black robes doesn’t make Law out of lawlessness!

Nor would I be surprised to see Zero simply defy the court and go ahead and implement. He’s already violated the Constitution and other Fundamental Law many times, with no negative response (cut the funding, begin impeachment) from Congress. In Sodom on the Potomac, with a very few individual exceptions, they are all invested in the same Ponzi.

Inane “technicalities” on a clearly worded document (Constitution) like arguing whether the “a” in Arbeit Macht Frei sign at Aushwitz had the right font! Or as Orwell put it: “No animal shall sleep in a bed WITH SHEETS” …. Ilana, as expected, got it right – the Constitution is a dead letter and if the SCOTUS finds some technical nit pro or anti out of 2500 pages, it will have no major impact.

The “Interstate Commerce” and “Taxing” clauses already allow the Government to place soldiers at Harvard, arrest old ladies for growing and smoking pot in their basement, force us to “contribute” to Socialist Insecurity – Medicare – Medicaid – BushyPrescriptions, regulate our toilets and light bulbs, and thousands of other violations never authorized in the 1787 document. Justice Anthony Kennedy might give the Romneycare Republicans some “victory” so they can put in their “Health Savings Accounts” or “HMO Managed Care” or “Medicaid Advantage” in place – e.g. my fascist healthcare beats your socialist health care! (Whoooopppeeee – doooo)

To stand with the concept of personal liberty and limited government is as revolutionary in 2011 (RonPaulRevolution) as it was in 1776.

[Oral, Anal Argument. LOL.]
