...Your opportunity to limit the expansion of federal power is not coming up with your review of the individual mandate in the ACA. Your opportunity to limit the expansion of federal power came and went with Gonzales v. Raich , and EVERY SINGLE ONE of the nominally "conservative" justices among you sided with an expansive view of the Commerce Clause. A view that grants the federal government a limitless ability to interfere with the lives of individuals, above and beyond the laws of their home state. You made this bed, and now you can bloody well lie in it.

Rule against the ACA, and your credibility as independent arbitrators of law will be over. Thank you for participating.

They lost credibility with Citizens United, as far as I'm concerned.

Not to mention the Selection of Shrub!

Their credibility as independent arbitrators went out the window with Bush v. Gore.

Shh! You're undermining the marginal deterrence afforded by the insinuation that they still have some credibility to lose.

They lost their credibility when they threw fits over Clinton's win in 1992.
