Dies by the sword. No, folks, this is not advocating violence, it is an old saying that means "If you use a certain tactic (weapon) expect that it may be used against you." Federal Judge comes to mind. Remember how a judge overturned the will of the people in California a while back when they voted to define marriage as between a man and a woman, for example? The cheers from the left were deafening. Yesterday, a Federal Judge in Pensacola Florida ruled that the part of the Obama Health Care Plan that forced people to buy insurance was unconstitutional and not severable (meaning you just can't eliminate that part and the rest is OK). Consequently, the ENTIRE health plan is unconstitutional. Predictably the left whined like babies and called the action of the judge "political" and mean spirited. All judges are equal, it's just that some are more equal than others (Animal Farm reference). To those of us out there who are appalled by this decision, remember that the sword of which I spoke above cuts both ways. Ideally, the Constitution "is what it is" and all well educated judges would come to the same conclusion on the same subject. Practically, they rule all over the place and sooner or later (sooner hopefully) this case will come before the U S Supreme Court where it will be decided in a 5-4 decision one way of the other. If the high court decides that Congress can use the commerce clause for any and every whim of theirs, be prepared, as one judge put it " to be forced to buy and eat Broccoli."
