Libertarian vs. Statist, which means the Pauls vs. the Bushes...and Dershowitz vs. HRC. Put me down with Rand and Ron Paul, and Alan Dershowitz.

We don't really know which side Roberts will come out on, do we? I'll believe he is for the Constitution when I see it. The mental gymnastics he performed to get to his decision on health care does not give me confidence.

        Agree, but you are also talking judicial restraint versus activism. Roberts likes to decide - Frank L - 1:19pm 2/3/19
        Judicial restraint vs. activism. OK. How does "deciding narrowly" figure into that? - NedoftheHill - 9:50pm 2/3/19
        As usual you overstate things. First of all it’s an excessive fines claim under the 8th Amendment. - Frank L - 10:12pm 2/3/19
        Incorrect. No fine is levied and collected. All cash is taken regardless of amount. You are reaching - NedoftheHill - 11:15pm 2/3/19
