Welcome to Denmark

The depth of my anger today is incalculable.
Yesterday, I lived in a nation that, while flawed, offered the individual citizen the most freedom from interference by the central government of any on Earth. Today ‒ thanks to hundreds of fools in the Capitol and five more fools in black robes across the street ‒ I may as well be living in Denmark.
Health insurance is a commodity, no different in kind from a grain futures contract or an airline ticket. The notion that the U.S. Constitution grants the federal government the power to compel me to buy any commodity, whether under the guise of a tax or some other scheme, is idiotic and infuriating.
There is now nothing beyond the scope of the central government, and anyone who thinks otherwise, just wait. The last gate across the road to serfdom has been knocked down.
John Roberts, with one incomprehensible and inexcusable lapse of reason, you have joined yourself inextricably with Roger B. Taney in the timeless halls of infamy.
