Judge Roger Vinson’s ruling striking down the health-care law’s individual mandate and, with it, the rest of the statute, may or may not stand up in higher courts. But it’s more convincing than some arguments I’ve read on the other side…

If the Supreme Court allows Congress to impose health insurance under the Interstate Commerce clause, then there are no longer any restraints on their power to control our lives.
