Pretty trite way to put it. The ruling was anything but "goofy", it was a stake in the heart of the Freedoms we still had. His ruling indicated that while the government cannot force you to do something that is un-Constitutional, it can tax you for not doing it and keep increasing the taxes until you have no choice. He gave them "extortion on a silver platter" as a sure-fire means of subjugating the People. I'm hoping the "behive" you speak of becomes the proverbial hornets' nest because the reaction needs to be strong and sustained if we are to survive as a free Nation.
