This will be one case I will be following with great interest as it may set a precedent that will have wide implications (good and bad).
I hope the SCOTUS takes their time on this one.

It's effing scarey brother. Just to get something straight, there are quite a few things that I agree with that are written into it. I also did not like how it was ramrodded down our throats, but that is an opinion not based in fact.
That being said, people are being FORCED to buy a service from a private company by decree of the government. Before I get ripped to shreds by my fellow brothers and sisters, let me clarify the word forced: You must do x otherwise y will happen to you. That is force, whether it's physical, financial, or emotional.
What blows my lid to high heaven is using the
commerce clause as the justification.
And it was on 02NOV2011 at 1721hrs, Platapus and myself agreed on something.
