“Chief Justice John Robert’s opinion that the federal government can require individuals to buy health insurance because Congress is taxing the activity makes it possible for Congress to totally control any human activity as long as it taxes it. This is an incredible annihilation of the Constitutional limitation on the power of the federal government,” said Coleman.
“Even if the Congress should eventually repeal Obamacare in the future, the devastating effect on the Founder's design of a limited government will remain. But we must remember that the Supreme Court is not the final court of judgement in our country - it's 'we the people.' Members of the Supreme Court are nominated by the President. 'We the people' elect the President. The President's nominations are affirmed or rejected by the U.S. Senate. 'We the people' choose our U.S. Senators. We must elect a President and U.S. Senators who will select conservative justices who will overturn today's constitutionally catastrophic ruling."
