Addiction

I haven't posted much lately and, although I have been busy with work, that is not the real reason for the dirth of posts.

I have a confession to make. I've become addicted . . .

to online poker on facebook!

Please help me. Refuse all chip requests for my good, no matter how much I beg.

Thanks in advance. I'm going to beat this thing - and it helps knowing you're standing with me.

Constitutionality of the ACA?

Hi everyone. Sorry for the dirth of recent posts. Been busy.

I recently read Florida federal district Court judge Vinson's decision declaring the Affordable Health Care Act unconstitutional. I had planned to excerpt some of his reasoning and comment (negatively) on it.

But this morning I stumbled upon this law review article by Professor Mark Hall, and decided, "what's the point - "that settles that!" Professor Hall's legal analysis is an analytical and methodical tour de force. It is also readible and mercifully short - 23 pages.

For those of you who wish to educate yourselves about the constitutional debate over the ACA and the "Individual Mandate," start here.
