Obamateurism of the Day « Hot Air

Ed Morrissey provides an excellent analysis of the White House's "rebuttal" of the decision declaring Obamacare unconstitutional:

Obamateurism of the Day « Hot Air: "Quick: name the private-sector goods and services that the federal government requires in the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, or even the Social Security Act. Answer? None. Social Security is a tax system with defined benefits payouts from the government, and no one doubts that the federal government has the power to tax. The Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act require the federal government to enforce the Constitution, not citizens to buy sample ballots or shop at certain stores. The entire response is a big non-sequitur — and if this is how they defended ObamaCare in Vinson’s court, small wonder they lost, and lost big."
