LOL, How did I know you would be the first one to make this argument? If you LIVE in a state and participate in its commerce, you are subject to the law. I love how you tea baggers twist and turn the constitution to your personal needs.

Color-coded for self-ownage.
No.
Because they could impose a national health care system that is purely government controlled, thus like social security, is government forced on the people. Whereas what they are doing now is requiring people to buy from private industry.
Sorry, but I don't see the logic. Government could impose the cost of universal healthcare on everyone via a tax, and then use the proceeds to purchase private insurance for everyone ... but they can't require the 2% of adults who can afford insurance but who won't buy it to pay a relatively small fine?
I have good insurance becauseI worked hard and got a good job that has good insuranceI was born to rich parents who put me through the finest schools and left me a shedload of money.
Sigh....you sure seem pretty conservative to be an independent, you are WAY WAY off base...im going to judge you based on your last few posts just like you are judging me. Turd daniel.
The Commerce Clause is an enumerated power listed in the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3). The clause states that the United States Congress shall have power "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.

So you are disregarding his word as to his own efforts in life? Lovely.
bluntly, yes. Since "provid[ing] for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States" is an Enumerated Power
I see enumerated "provide for arming". I don't see any enumeration of "force them to buy their own weapons and gear".
Just as it is enumerated that Congress has the power to regulate commerce among the several states, but there's no enumeration of any insurance mandate.

Citizens with their own weapons and gear is the definition of a militia.
No, I'm making the point that some people, like TD, were given every advantage in life to help them succeed, whereas many other people didn't have such advantages given to them. I was also fortunate insofar as I was born to well educated, reasonably well-to-do parents who provided me with a good education. But I'm cognizant of and thankful for the advantages that I had and I don't look down on those who were less fortunate -- or imagine myself so far superior to them.
Undeserved arrogance is an unfortunate side effect of generational affirmative action.

this line of argument is irrelevant to the issue.
what you were born with or earned through life has no bearing on the the issue of whether Obamacare will pass muster before SCOTUS.

Study the term in the English tradition starting with the Anglo-Saxon fyrds. (Merriam-Webster. Puh-leeze.)
