Warning! If you click on the article, first you have to listen to an advertisement about some lady's fortune making scheme. When you have read the article and try to leave the site, you have to click through several windows that keep popping up advertising .....very annoying.

She brushes aside the activity/inactivity distinction because not doing something is a choice and therefore "mental activity."

So, in this case, according to this judge, ignorance of the law would be an excuse?

Hmmm...nominated by Clinton in 1994. Is Judge Kessler, by chance, married to past FDA boss Kessler, nominated by Bush I, campaigned hard for Clinton to keep him based on high number of REGULATIONS he imposed on America?

The easy-to-grasp distinction between an activity and inactivity is one of the most powerful legal arguments of ObamaCare's opponents.

That is not the most powerful argument against Unconstitutional Obamacare. The most powerful argument is the fact the judicial branch of government is not the final authority on the Constitution. That power is reserved to the fourth and most powerful branch of government, we the people.

Seeking relief from the courts and Congress is tantamount to asking the judicial and legislative branches of government if we the people and the states can reassert our 10th Amendment rights against the legislative branch who violated our 10the Amendment rights! It is not only asking the fox to guard the hen house but turns the concept of a limited federal government and expansive powers granted to the people on its head and defeats the purpose of the Constitution! We tell the other three branches what is Constitutional or Unconstitutional with nullification.

Why hadn't someone thought of this before? The sophists in Eric Holder's Justice Department must be embarrassed that they didn't themselves dredge up this killer rejoinder.

This is a very well written column by Mr. Lowry.

And here we go...thought crime was just defined by a sitting judge. George Orwell knew what he was talking about when he wrote “1984”.
