    Default NFIB vs Sebelius

    I'm 50 pages in, This decision will have permanent effects limiting Congressional over-reach and attempts at usurpation of power. Roberts saved us. I'm really impressed, but given that I've never read one of these in full, I'm sure that's not a surprise.

    I can't believe that Roberts got Kagan, Breyer, Ginsburg and Sotomayor to sign on to this. This is a strict interpretation, an arguably "original meaning" decision. Any thoughts?

    (BTW, Roberts decision is only 69 pages)


    EDIT - the views shared by Ginsburg, Sotomayor, Breyer and Kagan in their opinion are truly horrifying in their interpretation of Federal power.

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
