Great news: Federal judge finds ObamaCare mandate constitutional

This is just absolutely ridiculous.  If the new purview of Congress' constitutional authority in regulating interstate commerce includes requiring every citizen to purchase something Congress decides that we will all need eventually (even if it's not sold across state lines), it is certainly time to either put our collective foot down or begin the process of renouncing our citizenship. As a lawyer for the Thomas More Center, Rob Muise, stated:

“The trouble, if you think about it, is if Congress has authority to regulate nonactivity then it has the ability to regulate anything,” Muise said. Congress can “tell you to exercise three times a week, to take certain vitamins, to refrain from eating certain foods because, at some point, costs are going to be incurred to the health care market. I find that very troubling when we have a federal government that’s supposed to be of limited, enumerated powers,” he said.

This is certainly NOT the first time the government, including the courts, have gained unconstitutional powers through exploiting the commerce clause.  I fear, yet know, it certainly won't be the last.
