http://www.museumsyndicate.com/images/4/34504.jpg Bonus prediction on Supreme Court consideration of Obama-Care. Will be declared unconstituional by a narrow margin. (Scalia can't be counted on to be an Obama booster). ... Boils down to key words "necessary and proper", as applied to enumerated powers (commerce among others). Possible arguments in favor of Obama Care: Medicare is a precident and it fits into the same category. Wrong. Medicare is a welfare program, not an interstate commerce; thus not in the same category as forcing somebody to buy something, say a car. ... Thus, inclusion under the umbrella of necessary and proper is pretty flimsey and won't fly. Will be rejected by the narrowest of margins.
