A delicious irony if this legislation were overturned on the basis of the Griswold decision.

I read in some emanation or penumbra that Obama is an asshat!

They conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone — the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men. "

I would bet that Joseph Farah noticed your post (though he did not apply it or articulate the issues optimally in his editorial -- doubt he wants those articles to be too long)...

An interesting thought I had:

As per our Constitution, unlike health care, a Legal Defense is a specifically an identified right -even, as has been held, for non citizens.

Now, if one compares and constrasts how this established and specifically identified right is handled, has been handled, and codified into law and practice one should easily be able to see just how far this newly derived right of health care is overstepping by its very nature...

IF this supposed right has been there all along then where has it been hiding in regard to law and common practice? Further, IF it is deemed a right THEN why the disparity between how a legal defense has commonly been afforded and how health care is now afforded under this new law?

In my opinion, the health care reform law is comparable to requiring citizens to purchase an insurance policy for potential legal problems -in essence maintaining a law firm on a contingency basis -all this is a right? How can a right be mandatory?
