How can folks say on one hand that the "government is trying to take over" something that amounts to 17% of the economy - billions and billions of dollars, and also argue that regulation of that part of the economy is not within the scope of regulating interstate commerce. The content of the health care bill is a legislative political issue. The Court would have to go through some extreme contortions to suggest that Congress did not have authority to act. Now if they let Clarence Thomas write an opinion striking down the law, I will lose all respect for the justices. (I know that they know better than that. As wrong headed as they are about many things, they are not stupid.)
