I’d say that’s good news. At least one judge has a brain.

I like this from the Judge:

"He said his survey of case law “yielded no reported decisions from any federal appellate courts extending the Commerce Clause or General Welfare Clause to encompass regulation of a person’s decision not to purchase a product"

As you know, the commerce clause was enacted to make sure that the States engaged in free and fair trade. The legal theory that it is Constitutional to require individual citizens to engage in Interstate Commerce is preposterous.

An argument the libs bring up is that the States require you to buy insurance when you buy a car. True. But the States don't require you to buy a car. And if you don't buy a car, you don't have to buy car insurance. And what the States require of the citizens within the States does not amount to interstate commerce.
