Look, The Commerce Clause was a BFD.

Handing Obama the largest tax ever, was a BFD

Taking SCOTUS off the table as an election issue, was a BFD.

Handing Romney a Rallying cry was a BFD.

And, telling the mushy middle that, IF you vote for liberals YOU WILL GET TAXED, was a Huge F*ng Deal.

I think Krauthammer got it right.

And for all his preening and hectoring, you cant tell me Roberts did not do this with a smile on his face.

It's near impossible to not see this as a giant middle finger to the Won.

I would rather have seen his other middle finger from killing the law outright.

If you think you are lugubrious today, just wait until your doctor tells you that there's nothing he can do to save your life and by "can" he means "permitted by the medical care equalization board".

Healthcare premium subsidies. People are eligible up to 4 times the poverty line. Putting the middle class on welfare to guarantee a permanent leftist government that is a BFD.

That Progressive family from Connecticut screwed us again with Souter 2.0

I do not buy into that theory. SCOTUS cannot rewrite law, they must rule on the constitutionality of what was already put in place. It failed the commerce test, yet they snuck it in the backdoor. Not passing the smell test for me. If you think in your wildest dreams that the country will go Rep and it will be overturned then, you are mistaken. Won’t happen. In another 10-20 years we will be full blown socialist medicine and our wonderful health care system of innovation will be stagnant. The government has ruined everything else they touch, what makes anyone think this will be any different?

Obama could care less if this law is under commerce, or another tax. After all, a liberal never met a tax they didn’t like. Obama is patting himself on the back over his “BFD” of a win. He and MO were dancing in the White House yesterday. He thinks his reelection is now a shoe-in. He is riding high. I don’t see where he is delusional in that belief, either.

Dr. K is wrong here. Closing the door on further “expansion” of the Commerce clause is weak beer when you consider that it needs rolled back, not just have its expansion stopped.

And it’s completely moot now, since the power to tax is apparently unlimited and provides a complete end-around for anything the gov’t wants to do.
