Seriously, the scariest thing about Mike Myers - er - Elena Kagan joining SCOTUS is her seemingly unlimited view of the Commerce Clause. Liberals feel that it can be used to justify, well basically anything. If the Congress wants to pass a law that says you have to exercise every day - in Kagan's world that's perfectly reasonable as it could be argued that exercise provides a broad "economic good" by (potentially) lowering healthcare costs.
Welcome to communist era Russia! You can already see that she's absolutely gong to vote with the Liberal block to protect the Obamacare mandate - although it will be the first time the Commerce Clause has been used to justify forcing U.S. citizens to purchase something from private vendors.
And, I've heard the tired argument about how it's legal to require auto insurance. That's true, but you can also choose not to drive and voila - no requirement. The mandate is in no way linked to any exemption.
The liar Obama is now calling it a tax, hoping that by doing so he can squeak it in under the Congress's ability to levy taxes and fees. This after saying, vehemently on George Stephanopoulos' show (This Week - you can find the clip on You Tube) that it was absolutely not a tax!

So, it's cool to pass a law requiring me to eat 3 servings of fruits and vegetables a day - according to Kagan - sure!
