ObamaCare is unconstitutional. Why shouldn't the courts take this issue on?

'judicial activism' is a buzzterm that means nothing... it isn't impressive to find every instance of it working the other way

I agree with you, BRTD.  I'll have to see the arguments and I'll read over the opinion (if it goes to the Court), but as of now, I'd rule against the Republicans opposing this, from what I've seen.

This isn't judicial activism. It's about following the Constitution.

It's only judicial activism if the Democrats do it.  When Republicans do it, they are simply following the perfect system of government whispered from God to The Founders.

Ya, the Constitutional argument against mandatory health insurance is pretty inane. Justice Thomas might find it unconstitutional however. Tongue
