The United STATE of America

True.

How in the world could a constructionist side with the notion that the executive, required by constitution to enforce the laws of the land, can whimsically pick his way through what he wishes to enforce and what he doesn't.

How could they say that a state enforcing law is violating the executive's whim to do nothing with the law?

This is a terrible ruling, and if it isn't the end of this nation as we know it, we'll have that end on Thursday, for if Roberts "ruled with business interests", then business interests include government health care, if it means getting health care costs off their own backs.

I am not at all optimistic about the Health Care ruling. Roberts joining in on this one striking down any semblance of States Rights tells me that he will be more than willing to declare the Health of Americans to be a compelling Federal Interest and that the States have no right to complain.

Today marked the final death blow to State Sovereignty. States are now entirely subservient to the Federal Government and effectively any law that the States pass will be unconstitutional as long as the President is against it.

America. It was a good idea. It's over. Turn out the lights.
