I am a Constitutional scholar like our President, and I’ve been asked by quite a few people what I think of the Supreme Court’s decision on Obamacare. I think three things:
1. It is scary to think that a right of personal choice can be taken away from 315 million people by 535 persons in Congress and 1 person in the White House, and that power grab can be upheld by nine persons on the Supreme Court, where the flip of only 1 PERSON would have allowed those 315 million to keep that personal freedom.
2. It is clear that a great many people can look at the enumerated powers in the US Constitution and conclude that Congress can always find at least one pathway in those powers to coerce the entire nation to do whatever Congress and the President can agree on, no matter what the people think.
3. Since #2 is true, the only logical option now is that all businesspeople need to work as hard as they can to get Congress and the President to COERCE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY INTO BUYING THE PRODUCTS OF THOSE BUSINESSES.
Said another way: everyone simply MUST learn to use the government to advance their own purposes. Besides Obamacare, there has been only one other event in history to force people into the realization that this is true, and that was when the Supreme Court decided that a farmer who grows wheat for his own consumption is engaging in interstate commerce (Read the first paragraph in Wikipedia on the 1942 Supreme Court decision called Wickard v. Filburn).
