If the gubm't can make you buy health insurance under the commerce clause, it can make you buy guns.

Stop, hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down.

Here's something else to chew on. There are differing opinions so far on just how much authority the IRS will have in enforcing this new law once the regulations are drawn up. But consider the situation where a person with forty acres refuses to byy the mandated insurance. IRS will assess a fine, and under it's current modus operandi, the agency will assess penaties and interest. When those are not paid, today's IRS would then secure a lien against the entire forty acres and proceed to have it sold at auction to the highest bidder. The amount due the IRS would be taken from the sale proceeds and the balance given to the landowner. Rather, the former landowner. Now, this poor hypothetical sap still does not have gubm't health insurance. So you have private property being sold to support the general population as beneficiaries.

I'd like to get the reaction of Colonial America circa 1775 on this.

Cass Sunstein is our regulatory czar, Cass is a certified lunatic who wants animals to have laywers.

I'm down with that, as long as the animals pay their legal bills. But if one couldn't, then would a cougar charged with the murder of a deer or antelope be entitled to a public defender? Would the cougar be open to third party lawsuits by the next of kin to the deceased deer or antelope? Methinks Mr. Sunstein does not have all his legal arguments reconciled.

Good question. They actually did not need Murtha's absentee vote, as he was number 219 and the Dems only needed 216 ayes. Insofar as a dead man voting goes, that's the kind of change you can believe in now, even if you can't believe it.
