I can’t believe it’s a unanimous ruling.

But, the court applied the law. They didn’t try to legislate from the bench, or try to say it is good public policy to regulate smoking. They applied the law without making new law. Maybe Roberts is leading the court in a new direction.

Well, Halle-frickin'-lujah!

That will annoy the anti-smoking, tax-grubbing crowd for awhile.....until they mount a Constitutional Amendment banning smoking and tobacco (which I believe they WILL do).

Maine has been sending fines to the homes of people charging them hundreds of dollars in fines. I know of one man who paid atleast $200 in fines for purchasing 2 cartons of cigarettes online. The BIG question is how do they know if they are not somehow monitoring the credit cards of Maine consumers. I would think this would be against the law.

It is not about health, it is about taxes.

Follow the money trail.
