[ExI] a good day for liberty

DO NOT USE OBAMACARE.
DO NOT BUY OBAMACARE.
Powers are not rights.


Alan, I like your tagline.  As Judge Hudson said today, health care reform
is a laudable goal, but it must be done legally.  The legislative process
must operate within constitutional bounds.  The Virginia judge issued the
opinion today that forcing people to buy insurance is outside of those
bounds.  Government good intentions are insufficient to offset the absence
of enumerated powers.

I have nothing against federal government involvement in medical care.  But
they have not the authority to make us buy in.
