All this talk of the Supreme Court and Obamacare

Interesting fact: Not a single federal law was ruled unconstitutional by the supreme court from 1937 to 1995. 

As Thomas Jefferson warned, if the federal government is allowed to hold a monopoly on determining the extent of its own powers, we have no right to be surprised when it keeps discovering new ones. If the federal government has the exclusive right to judge the extent of its own powers, it will continue to grow – regardless of elections, the separation of powers, and other much-touted limits on government power.
