Many pundits have noted that this will likely hurt Obama and his minions in Congress and the Senate in November. While this is possibly true, does it matter? Does it change the fact that the Supreme Court has drastically altered the social contract between America's government and her people? Party control waxes. Party control wanes. But SCOTUS rulings take decades to reverse, on the rare occasions they are reversed at all. All it takes is one bad election, and the government can now decree we must own certain products and services.I know, it's asking a lot, but please give me a pass. I'm really depressed with this ruling.
We will see all sorts of freedom-limiting compelled purchases. Obviously, each person needs burial insurance, right? And liability insurance on a personal level, this is reasonable, isn't it? After all, suppose you accidently harm someone? And OF COURSE, each person who wishes to post their opinion on the internet... they will clearly need 'slander and libel' insurance, in case they should speak ill of another. All these 'insurances' are intended as new taxes, only, and in the last case, shall be created to expressly restrict free speech.
Me too.
