The slippery slide continues...our freedom and liberty
continue to be eroded away, our federal government continues to grow in power
and control - the founder's checks and balances fading into history...states'
rights continuing to be trampled upon!
The Federal Government does not have the power to order
people to buy health insurance. Section 5000A would therefore be
unconstitutional if read as a command. The Federal Government does have the
power to impose a tax on those without health insurance. Section 5000A is
therefore constitutional, because it can reasonably be read as a tax.-- Chief
Justice John Roberts
Whether federal spending legislation crosses the line from
enticement to coercion is often difficult to determine, and courts should not
conclude that legislation is unconstitutional on this ground unless the
coercive nature of an offer is unmistakably clear. In this case, however, there
can be no doubt.-- Justices Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito
