These are the folks who disgraced themselves

The Court's Right-Wing Majority Are A Disgrace - Paul Begala, Daily Beast

“The Second Militia Act of 1792, signed by George Washington, required every able-bodied (white) male between the ages of 18 and 45 to purchase a musket and ammunition. It’s clear the people who wrote the Constitution thought Congress had the power to compel citizens to purchase certain goods to advance an important national interest.”

 

Could it be that the constitution actually enumerates the national defense as a federal power so the forcing of citizens to buy a gun or die for their country is constitutional, but doing the bidding of the nanny state is not both a “necessary and a proper” extension via the commerce clause and the general instruction to implement the enumerated powers. Perhaps, the country should suspend the commerce clause as counter to the balance of the constitution’s insistence on limited government.
