The contorted contours of Congressional power according to the radical Roberts Court
"Under Justice Thomas' reading of the Commerce and Necessary and Proper power, one could plausibly argue that the individual mandate violates the Constitution. But one would need to gut decades of settled precedent to do so. Such a reading would put in jeopardy our modern national state. Civil rights laws? Sorry no power for that. Environmental laws? Sorry, no power for that. Social Security? No can do. Medicare? Ditto."
