More wishful thinking from another Roberts apologist.

Lets assume thing are as the author assumes. That would mean that every time Democrats won an election, they would pass all of these compulsion-by-tax laws requiring folks to buy "widgets." The Republicans win the next election and repeal the taxes and the compulsory buying . . . Democrats win later, etc., etc. . . . Wow! What a wonderful recipe for a completely unstable economy. Businesses wouldn't be able to forecast beyond the next election.

No, sorry Mr. Tyrrell; Roberts screwed the pooch on this one--as well as the nation.

Not even that, I don't think. Tyrrell is neither a fool nor an idiot, and so he has to understand, by this late date, that the "Commerce Clause silver-lining" thing has been exposed as a red-herring.

No, Tyrrell is carrying somebody's water here, for some reason. Whose, and for what purpose, I don't know. But this column is an "as-told-to" recitation by somebody whose opinions are on offer.
