What I find interesting in the finding is the part that says that the Government cannot withhold established funding to a state in order to force the state to act.

Remember when Carter told the states they had to drop the speed limit on the Interstates to 55 mph to save on gas? The threat was that he would withhold DOT Highway Funds from the states that didn't comply.

Remember when some president decided the drinking age was 21 and was going to withhold highway money if a state didn't comply?

All that kind of manipulation has been tossed in the trash heap by this ruling. Don't think any of the talking heads have figured that out yet.

It does seem to be the one piece of good news, but could they turn around and pass a targeted tax directed at red states that would tax any state that didn't expand the medicaid rolls. It is hard to rule out any idea in this environment.
