The most important issue of this case is whether the Commerce Clause can be stretched far enough to allow Congress to force individuals to purchase certain products from private parties or face a tax or penalty.

I went to law school and did practice for a number of years, but the reach of the Commerce Clause is taught in the first year Constitutional Law class. I find it unbelievable that Obama could not see that a radical extension of the clause as a possible hole in the legal argument (not the policy argument) underlying this enormous program.

Stretch it, hell! I’d like to stop it where it is and start pruning it back to a manageable size (read very very small).
