No, the role of the Supreme Court is to be a check on Congress. Just because Congress passes a law doesn't make it constitutional. The Supreme Court has overturned congressional acts many times.
true... but to be the devils advocate..
the libs are slimy, but do you really think they would pass a 3000 page law without the “whereunto” and “therefore” legal speak to make it pass constitutional muster?
The job of the court is to ensure compliance with the constitution.
The commerce clause has been cut down to size with this ruling. It can no longer be used to pass “under the radar” social programs. The funding must be called what it is, a tax increase.
With the medicare portion struck down, the states now have the ability to “opt out” from this without suffering financial hardship from the fed.
I guess the old saying, You get the government you elect holds true. It is up to us to get this thing gone.
