The crux of [Obamacare] cases is whether the government's power to regulate "Commerce . . . among the several States" is so broad that it can mandate that everyone buy health insurance. Judge G. Kessler of the D.C. district says [...] that this power includes regulating even "mental activity, i.e., decision-making. [...] Kessler: "It is pure semantics to argue that an individual who makes a choice to forgo health insurance is not 'acting'."
In other words, there is no constitutional principle that limits federal coercion.
Thoughtcrime anyone?
