>> Ambiguous and complex issues which represent a legal quagmire to the nation's courts are crystal clear to you. I wouldn't say it is crystal clear if one looks at the willingness of the courts to expand federal power over time. However, this one is just too much. There is no quagmire here. This is a relatively simple matter: Is there ANY LIMIT AT ALL on the power of the federal government. That's the question. For the Court to decide in favor of Obama, they will have to answer that question in the negative; the government has no restriction, whatsoever. We can have all manner of arguments about whether "action is inaction" and other legally intricate matters. But in the end, the Court is going to have to decide the bigger issue of whether there are limitations on government's power. If they can force you to buy a product you don't want and may not need, just by merely existing, there are no limitations whatsoever. While the Court isn't always convinced by slippery slope arguments, this one is so glaring and in your face that it is difficult to imagine a pro-Obama decision.
