It’s known in legal jargon as a "limiting principle.” When courts
evaluate a new application of Congress’s constitutional authority, they
have historically wanted to see clear limits to those powers.



"The
DOJ has to do a better job of answering, ‘What goes beyond your theory
of federal power?' " said Ilya Shapiro, a legal scholar at the
libertarian Cato Institute who opposes the insurance mandate. "They’ve
been asked this in every court and they’ve never satisfied the court,
even in the cases they’ve won.”



The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals
— the specific case now before the Supreme Court — struck down the
insurance mandate partially on the grounds that upholding it would open
the door to a flood of regulation.



"Ultimately, the government’s
struggle to articulate … limiting principles only reiterates the
conclusion we reach today: There are none,” the court said in its
ruling.

Internal Justice Department email communications made just days before the House of Representatives passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
show that then-Solicitor General Elena Kagan was brought into the loop as DOJ began preparing to respond to an anticipated legal complaint that Mark Levin and the
Landmark Legal Foundation were planning to file against the act if the House used a procedural rule to “deem” the bill passed even if members never directly voted on it.

I have hopes of parts at least being struck down.

If not, it is the final nail in our socialist coffin.
