Tortured, laborious spinning on the head of a pin. Roberts, quite simply was compromised, and this nightmare of a decision the result of his trying to do right under duress. Splitting the difference as it were, to stay out of the thug’s reach. Esoterica.
Simple fact is political will and power to stop this comes from the de-funding. Many extinct bills still on the books, that are not funded.
Civil disobedience backed by the simple fact that millions cannot afford this nightmare, will be hard to stop. So doing then the masses can test your 95% concept and the presumed corporation. The lack of enforcement is certainly helpful, ignoring the “penalty” or fine.
Prohibition was an Amendment, and look how it was ignored. This is just some pipe dream venture socialist law— that will also be ignored. Starting with physicians.
What you call esoterica, is how the law works. It's based on definitions - very, very careful definitions. And that's not a bad thing in itself. It's just often misused.
A free people, by definition, have an almost unlimited right to free contract. The right to make contracts with each other is, in a very fundamental sense, freedom itself. Therefore understanding the law regrading contracts, to a certain extent, is a responsibility of every adult.
The abuse of that contractual process, that contractual law, by presuming contracts on people and then acting as if they accept them if they don't recognize the presumption, is the problem. But what do you suggest is the solution, other than people educating themselves? Fraud will always exist, coercion will always exist. Contract law goes back over a thousand years and it is tested against every possible stress. What would you replace it with?
People argue, people cheat, people lie. There has to be a way to tie them down to specifics. That's what contract law does. If people don't learn at least the basics of it, who's fault is it when they are fooled and cheated?
Let me tell you something, my FRiend. There is a very, very good reason that the Left is made up of lawyers. Because this is how they fool people, by writing laws that they know people won't bother reading or understanding.
If people rolled up their sleaves and took a few basic law classess, and spent even a tenth of the amount of time they do prepping or at gun ranges, there would be no need to prep, and the need for guns would drop to a fraction of what they are now. We Americans have inherited an incredibly precious legal system. It is the work of genius, that many have died to protect. Not to learn it, not to study and understand it, is a betrayal of our heritage.
And it is the main weakness that those who want to get rid of the freedoms that we have inherited, are exploiting so successfully.
People have to fight the problem where it actually is - not where they want it to be.
