[Waverunner]

Come on Va Atty General, We buy politician’s BS all the time.

[Pearls Before Swine]

It would be more direct if the government ordered us to buy things... now, they order stuff for us, and then force some of us to pay for it with a mix of taxes and inflation/devaluation.

[wastedyears]

If the government was able to force me to buy broccoli, I’d probably jump off a bridge.

We buy politician’s BS all the time.
Whataya' mean "we?"

[jazusamo]

LOL!

You, me and GHW Bush. :)

[Waverunner]

Unfortunately, I mean those who vote. ( Don’t tell me you’ve never bought a politicians campaign rhetoric before, cause at some time you were idealistic and naive)

[goldi]

Well, supreme court justice Elena Kagen said just that recently.

[RockinRight]

This man will go places. US Attorney general under the next GOP administration perhaps...

[Lazlo in PA]

If we lose, the GOP needs to pass a law that everyone needs to buy a gun for public safety.

"Nevvvva." I'm of Irish heritage, grew up in NYC and knew all about Tammany Hall, Boss Tweed and all the usual suspects loooong before I could vote.

[MrB]

There actually was a congressman recently that stated that Congress can regulate anything in your private life,
that there are no practical limitations on what they can decide for you.

[jazusamo]

I agree. He looks like a promising conservative and the Rats are afraid of him. Here's an editorial from yesterday if you haven't seen it.

Cuccinelli savors health care win

[mbarker12474]

Government can seize your property for ANY reason it declares to be in the general interest. (Kelo v New London)

Government can compel you to purchase a commercial product.

Government controls your access to health care.

This pretty much covers it, folks.

[jazusamo]

Not too surprising with the number of idiots that get elected. Grrrrrr

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It will open the floodgates, just like the Kelo decision opened the floodgates on eminent domain.

[MrB]

They get food and energy covered, you might as well hand them your balls.

And they’re working on food (SB510) and energy (Cap and tax).

[mrmeyer]

"what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms."

Thomas Jefferson, The Constitution/Bill of Rights, and I respectfully disagree with the attorney general.

'Will Be Able To Order' People To Buy Anything

[The KG9 Kid]

If this case is as critically important as I think, maybe they should let Alan Gura handle this in front of the US Supreme Court.

He's batting 1.000
