Tomorrow, the Supreme Court begins to hear arguments regarding the constitutional legality of the so-called "Individual Mandate" in the so-called "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act."
This will be one of the most important cases ever to be heard by the Supreme Court, not because it allows or disallows the health care part of the legislation - which is fiscally onerous in itself, but because it potentially re-affirms the limits on the Federal government or, conversely, determines there are no limits on the Federal government with regard to states and individuals. It is the single most important decision that will either separate us from a Chinese Communist form of government or allow the Constitution of this country to be ignored with regard to states' and individuals' rights.
