My impression on the recent Supreme Court decision (regarding healthcare) is that if the federal government enacted a law that stated "you must purchase an electric or hybrid car. If you do not, then a tax will be levied in the amount equal to the purchase price of a Chevrolet Volt and that is the car you will get." And there is nothing we can do about it.
Because the Supreme Court "interpreted" the "fine" for not purchasing health insurance as a "tax" even though the bill did not call it a tax, what is to keep congress from passing any other law requiring the purchase of anything as the government sees fit?
Regardless of whether or not you like the Affordable Healthcare Act, is that how you see it?
In an unrelated thing, if you know a person who would like to come to the U.S. but can't get a visa or enter any legal way, all they have to do is come across the border somewhere in AZ and even if they get caught, as long as they've not been convicted of a felony, they won't get deported. Heck, I'm not even sure ICE will accept any phone calls from any authorities (ie police, sheriff's offices etc). So AZ has open borders now especially since the current administration has chosen not to enforce the immigration laws of the U.S. and the Supreme Court has said that the states cannot enforce any immigration laws.
What a week we're having!
