You must buy two suits a year from Jos. A. Bank or you will be fined $2500. If you cannot afford the suits you will be eligible for governmental assistance to purchase those suits. But everyone has to have two suits a year, even if you don't ever wear a suit.
Not really. It is pretty obvious that the federal government can't force you to buy something you don't want from a private business. They can't force you to purchase something you don't need from another citizen. They can't mandate that you stock up on something good for you from the local merchant. That isn't rocket science.
Regulation of interstate commerce is not mandate of free enterprise transactions. But what if we are talking about healthcare? Then apparently the end justifies the unconstitutional means. The big white oak stake has now been pounded into the epidermal layer of the vampire which is Obamacare. It won't take long now to see if the Supreme Court wields the mighty mallet to plunge the stake through the heart. Unless the Bamster gets a couple of hurry-up appointments from the bench of lefties waiting in the bull-pen, the Roberts court seems like a very possible judicial Buffy.
Greta has a wrinkle on this which no one else seems to have noticed.
Severability Clause Left Out Through Legislative Screw-up
The rush to lard it up with goodies for all of the supporting groups and the continued incompetence of the Democrats seems to have left this package with the legal version of Achilles' left heel. Greta is an attorney, so I'll have to take her word on this one. Happy to do it, I might add.

I'd read that someplace else a few months ago. Volokh conspiracy perhaps? In any case, it looks as if the first card in that collosal house of cards just fell in VA. We shall see....
