Here's the problem, Tim: > Does Congress have the infinite power to control people’s behavior (such as by ordering them to engage in commercial transactions) via the tax power? I suggest not. Me too, but it's hard to find something concrete in the Constitution that prevents that. Meanwhile, some liberal "constitutional scholars" can declare that this "infinite power to control people's behavior" comes from Congress' power to regulate interstate commerce. And only 5 out of the 9 Supreme Court justices need to agree. We're already living in an Orwellian era where "logic" can stretched to support just about any agenda you feel like. Only thing we can do to combat that is to stick to the fundamental principles of limited government, personal responsibility, and rights over entitlements. And that can only be captured in the spirit of the law, not the letter. Tenchusatsu
