Posted by Kromey at 12:03pm Apr 10 '12My contention is still, if there is any precedent set at all, it is that government can make you buy something under unusual, overwhelmingly justified reasons, for which there is no good alternative.
Ignoring the alternatives is not the same thing as their not being any, Four.
Besides, if this is such an obvious limiting factor, why couldn't the government come up with it when the SCOTUS asked where the limits on this supposed power lie? The very same administration that conceived of Obamacare cannot tell the SCOTUS why it is any different from a broccoli mandate -- literally!!
Doesn't that tell you anything?
