>>> All of the good things that that Tyrell describes could have just as easily come about from a 5-4 decision the other way, except minus the ObamaCare.

Exactly! Especially considering his third point.

“Thirdly, the Congress can now tax us for not doing something, but this power is not nearly so dangerous ....”

Tell me again, how teh “I WON” president and “We have to pass it to read it” Pelosi cheat, lie and bribe the whole time to get the bill passed against the consent of majority citizens?

And Mr. Tyrrell think they will somehow be more restrained in the future?

If I were sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court when this case came up, I would have refused to hear it at all. There's no reason for a Federal judge to waste a moment of his time reading a single legal brief in a legal challenge that is brought against a Federal statute when the Speaker of the House of Representatives openly acknowledges that she didn't even read the damn thing before voting on it.

Justice Roberts was right when he said that it's not the Court's job to protect Americans from the consequences of their political choices. The Supreme Court isn't the problem here. The real problem is that we've grown complacent with a government where a dingbat like Nancy Pelosi can rise to a prominent position of power.
