All of them, Katie.
too soon!
That's the magic of the checkbox! Radio buttons are for socialists!
I honestly think it will be 5-4. But who's to say for sure.
I dunno….I'd put a fin on it being 5-4
5-0 against Obmamcare. The liberals will be taken out back and shot.
Which they will allege was an outcome of pre-repeal Obamacare.
DEATH PANNNNNNELLLLLZZZZ!
In their hoodies, clutching their "skittles" and "iced tea." So, just asking for it.
I'm going out on a limb. Good guys win by a field goal. (that would be 6-3 for you bloody English and psych majors).
Wait, can I call the English "bloody" or is that verboten?
You just can't call them ****** or ****** or ******** or threaten to ****** their ******** children.
I would never say ******* in mixed company. But I recently started watching The Wire DVD set I got a few months back. So I'm fucking watching 6 seasons of fucking unbelievable shows in a really short fucking time frame. I fucking hope it doesn't affect my fucking attitude.
Shiiiiiiiiiiit no.
You can call them Ray, or you call them Jay. Or you can call them RJ. But you doesn't have to call them sir.
I've said "merde" before on teh Wonkette, but that may have been in the prior Administration.
I'll go 5-4 in favor. And the next 30 years of hearing Republiklans vow to repeal it.
I'm with you. Might even be 6-3, depending on if they decide it's a tax.
i agree – alito, thomas, and scalia dissent.
Actually, I could see Scalia pulling a bs concurrence in part, dissent in part that no one can understand the logic of (because it claims fealty to his own Gonzalez v. Raich opinion yet comes out 180 degrees the other way), and Roberts signing on to both that and the majority opinion. So it winds up as 5-4, 6-3 or 7-2 depending on who is doing the nose counting.
I also had a nightmare in which Kennedy has a heart attack from the stress and it winds up 4-4, which means that all the conflicting rulings below stand somehow.
6-3 at least. They can't overturn Wickard v. Filburn without blowing up seventy years of prior jusrisprudence. Even Scalia will grudgingly go along.
My bet is with evil on this one.
He's laid up; recovering. Right?
If it is that difficult to get all of them to look at the camera at one time I don't have much faith in their ability to focus on the issues for 3 days.
My 7 year old's class photo had all the kids in it paying attention.
if you give adderrall to someone in scalia's condition or as old and angry as clarence thomas, you better have EMS ready to roll.
Are you offering that as a suggestion or as a warning?
Slappy doesn't even need to pay attention – he gets his opinions fed intravenously from Tony.
Clarence gets it via brainwaves — but sometimes, when he doesn't like what he's hearing, he does put on his tinfoil hat. This may be one of those times.
What's with the weird neckties on them dames?
They caught them eating out.
(go on…you know you want to….)
They had lobster for lunch and forgot to take off the bibs?
Tacos. Fish tacos.
Tuna or red snapper?
Some of those are waddles and although they are wearing dresses, they ain't ladies.
Ya know, I wish Romney would have consulted with O'bama on his plan before he implemented it in Massemachussetts.

I'll take Miss Scarlet in the Library.

I wouldn't mind having the rope – but I wouldn't want my intentions to be misunderstood.
hard to hear your intentions if your AA session goes wrong with that rope. Just sayin'.
Clinton in the oval office with a cigar.
Wait a minute! Editrix! This is an old photo!
That curtain is CLEARLY pre-Kagan, whom anyone knows is allergic to red!
Looking at that photo, I'd say Scalia could use some of that Obamacare. But maybe I am being too optimistic…
The Supremes really went downhill after Diana Ross left the group.
Over the hill, too. also.
If they really care about Amerikkka the Supremes will declare the Kenyan's long form birf certifikate Unconstitutional and order their bailiff to deport him.
"Rusty" or GTFO.
Whack his peepee!
I'd hate to see them break their streak of kicking cases back to the district courts. It's been so effective thus far in abdicating responsibility on politically hot issues.
Except for gun worship and corporate oligarchy, which they strongly favor. They even commanded the Citizens United plaintiffs to come back and re-argue the case so they could change their vote.
Needz moar party hats.
I bet on 8- 3, cause they ain't not going to allow godless cominism. And also too will aks the churches how to reinstate the inquisition.
In that picture, Elena Kagan looks like a ninety-year-old white dude.
If only our editors had some sort of photo-manipulation tool…
The picture would be so much more fappable to if it had Blingee added.
Yes, it's only passably fappable as it is.
I got a fappable Kagan photo. Would you like a copy?
She probably judges like one too. If any of the "liberals" defect, my money is on Elena.
I thought it was Sotomayor that jumped ship on the Citizens United ruling?
It's too early to tell since she hasn't seen that many cases yet but most recently she sided with ( http://www.emptywheel.net/2012/02/21/elena-kagan-… ) the "activists" on the question of a miranda violation of a man who was already in prison (grey-ish area but still). And wasn't there some question about whether she was going to recuse herself from this case or was that just Republican bluster?
Also, how does one do a hypertext link?
Wow. That does really suck.
Paste in your link, submit your comment, then go back and edit it. Type whatever you like between the last pair of carets ( blank">YOUR-LINK-HERE</a ), hit "Save", and that will become the link.
If it doesn't work, it's usually because the url got mucked up; you can go back and edit it.

Captain Sensible for the Supreme Court!
There's a Justice Sexpistols?
That would kick ass!
You know: I learned this week that Ron Sexsmith's real name is Ronald Sexsmith! Who knew? (Aside from his daddy, I mean…)
Yeah, if it wasn't for the Kennedy Factor, the rest of the nine old men and laydeez could just phone it in. Literally.
I hope they prove me wrong on this one.
Where have they hidden Elena Kagan? Or is she over at the racquet club swapping shop with Eliot Spitzer again. Hie thee hither, yon whippersnapper Kagan — no time to dilly-dally further, Judgment Day is upon us!
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, she's under Sotomayor's robe… ;-)
This comment just screams for a wildly inappropriate reference to softball. And plaid. Hell, throw in a Subaru, too.
Doc Martens!
Not to wish ill health on anyone, but it looks to me that Thomas & Scalia need moar ham biscuits and gravy. Lots moar.
…and cartons of cigarettes and liquor.
I think they are going to rule that George W Bush is president again.
Quiet, don't give Scalia the idea.
I predict dancing in the streets, celebrating the recission of insurance for a million American children. USA!
Why insure the little buggers when they ain;t job creators
Heck, they're job refusers. Those school floors aren't going to mop themselves.
It's what Supply Side Jesus wants…
Even so, that outburst of activity will instantly kill of a substantial portion of the fat-asses via stroke, heart attack, and fatal hoverround collissions. So we've got that to look forward to.
"Hmmm. Bring millions of new customers to the insurance companies or potentially destroy the Kenyan usurper's presidency. What will it be?"
It's a really tough call.I mean, what's better for the public good?
Oy vey, I think I accidentally just voted for Pat Buchannan.
But will the decision play in Obamaville?
Is that a group shot of Cheney's heart transplant approval board?
Since Obamacare is Black, only Thomas and maybe Sotomayor will vote for it.
Fool, Thomas is white.
Only his pubes are blah.
Thank God they are not silver as they really would have never shown up on that Coke can.
5-4 on a Kennedy home run in the ninth.

I wonder if Ginny Thomas will be out there with a bull horn screeching about socialism in a statue of liberty hat. Because that would be hi-fucking-larias.
I thought she saved that for the bedroom.

Ginny Thomas, cow's twat.
I have this little fantasy where things are not going too well in the Thomas household, and, just to piss her off, Clarence votes to uphold O'bamamamamcare. Now that would be hi-fucking-larias!
You mean he'll find a new medium to vent his passive-aggression against his wife into other than groping women at the office?
Yeah. Clarence, reach out in a whole new way, why dontcha?

I liked their second album better.
Good, they rescind Obamacare and then they have to pull the plug on Cheney.
"Well, you see, the Multitronic Units one through four were not entirely succesful. But this one is. M-5 is ready to take control of the ship."

Some commentators are savvy enough to see that its not about the merits, and that the "conservative" radicals on the court all want to strike it down, but then they make the mistake of thinking that there is some kind of question over whether they would be so brazen, whether they have too much concern for the institution and the public faith in the Court. What a silly idea, to think that they might "hold themselves back" out of "integrity." They have no fucking integrity, and no care for anything in the world except furthering their agenda (and in Thomas' case, getting revenge on all the liberal smarty-pants who called him an idiot). They will be as brazen as they were in Bush v. Gore, they have no fucking compunctions, they are true revolutionaries and they believe lawbreaking is justified in defense of their cause.
There was a correspondent on NPR this weekend saying just about the same thing. The question was whether Chief Justice Roberts would come down on the side of the health care act as so to avoid a deeply divided Court. The correspondent and host were professional enough not to chuckle at the very thought.
Well, I feel a lot better about this now.
Agreed:
Goal #1 – advance agenda
Goal #2 – line up spare donor hearts so conservative majority will last forever.
Do the "justices" have to get in line behind Cheney on the waiting list?
"Activist judges" is a lot easier to type.
You should give a 'Spoilers' alert. I was looking forward to the next "Pirates of the Caribean" movie; "Revenge of the Dancing Bears."
SPOILER ALERT:
The worst George Zimmerman will be convicted of is discharging a firearm in a residential area, and the Florida Legislature won't change one letter of the law the NRA wrote for them.
There, was that better?
Then he'll get a job on Fox.

"See?? We're not ALL white!"
Citizens United pretty much confirmed that ideology trumps everything.
Nailed it!

We need somebody from Chicago to soonly make another appointment. Very much Soonly.
Wha-? You mean the Daley machine controls the Supreme Court? Dead justices voting? Voting early and often?
Who woulda thunk it?
This is Chicago-style politics I can get behind.
Oh, and fucking Roberts illegally stole those kids of his from Ireland through some kind of scam central-american adoption fraud, too. Needs to be remembered.
Because he couldn't get it up for his "beard-wife", despite all Elaine Chou's advice about how she had "handled" Mitch's waddle.
Worst March Madness bracket, ever.
Most timely avatar, ever!

If this is anything like Citizen's United, they'll hear the arguments in this case and then decide that trans-vaginal ultrasounds are people, my friends.

Got some big boys on the court. Scalia must take a size 60 Extra Stout robe.
More like 40 gal Glad bag, a/k/a the Romney Raincoat.
He and Slappy Thomas have to go robe shopping at Wal Mart because it's the only place that has them in size XXXXL.
There are two Opus Dei altar boys under there.
Someone needs to stop the death panels of Herman Cain. He snuffed a goldfish for one ad and now there is that creepy little girl, a catapulted rabbit and a shotgun in the new ad. Why does Herman Cain hate animals? Why is Herman Cain making ads? http://sickofstimulus.com/
a catapulted rabbit
He remade "The Holy Grail"?????
Never seen The Holy Grail.
Please watch this movie. Soon. Seriously. Oh, and don't drink anything for a few hours beforehand. If you're in tuned to British language styles and phrases, you will piss yourself royally.
If you're not, watch it ten times until you are. Trust me… this movie never gets old, ever.
"Life Of Brian" is the masterpiece.
Thanks for the advice, Chick. I'm going to watch it and think of you.
Never seen the Holy Grail? You need to do so as soon as you can then – you must miss like half the references here without it.
And to pass, you must find us – a shrubbery!
Never seen The Holy Grail? Why do you hate
AmericaGreat Britain?Then you have never seen a "flesh wound".

I was going to write an old joke here about Herman being an impotent, er, I mean, important guy, but it might be too rude.
I think that's the rabbit that attacked Jimmy Carter. Herb Cain is just trying to be helpful.
Why is Michele Bachmann going on Sunday morning TeeVee talk/snooze shows?
Why is Rick Perry still alive? I think only Republican Jesus can answer these questions.
Why is Herman Cain making ads?
Funny cause I was just browsing an older thread, wherein imissopus noticed Cain was taking suggestions for his response to the SOTU address. I'd forgotten Cain was picked by the Tea Party to give their response. He had already canceled his campaign. But he hasn't canceled the incessant marketing of himself to a population segment that sees him as more of a brand name than a human, a persona rather than a person.
only Republican Jesus
Here's one Republican Jesus, for your viewing pleasure. (Made me laugh.)
Herman Cain – a cross between Monty Python and Alex Forrest.
Herb Cain must of been taking grifting lessons from Bible Spice.
Do you see any of these upstanding Americans wearing Hoodies? Don't think so. And have any of them been shot while walking around their neighborhoods? Again, don't think so. As for how they will vote on the constitutionality of the "Affordable Care Act", what Prommie said.
Walking is really un-American, because it does not support our Petro-Oligarchy in the manner to which they've become accustomed. And mass transit?—have you ever looked at the kind of people who ride buses?
Faux News removed the hoodie from their on line selection of American Patriot souvenirs (even if souvenir is French).
I know one place I never want to go: the SCOTUS sauna.
No, but the conversations at the female Justice's regular Margarita Night would be interesting.
Someone hasn't read Jon Stewart's book.
Srsly? I'll check it out when I get home.
There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and ever eatable, drinkable and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry.
- Mark Twain's Autobiography
Oh and did I say fuck you, Alito and Thomas and the fouled up swearing in asshole.
The fouled up swearing in still pisses me off. That arrogant fucker.
The supreme Court has become nothing more than an extention of the RNC.They are another example of how the system has failed.
too many ladies and Heebs on SCOTUS to make that comparison fly. SCOTUS looks more to me like an extension of a multi-religious, multi-ethnic disfuncitonal family. Except in this family black people don't ever talk and Italians are prudes.
6-3 to uphold.
Yes, it rains on my planet, why do you ask?
That's my prediction also.
So which one is going to be the traitor to the Republican master race? Alito? Roberts?
Surely not Scalia or Mini-Me-Thomas.
I suspect Kennedy and Roberts will vote to uphold with Fat Tony, Slappy and Opie dissenting.
And Roberts writes the majority opinion.
npr this am (nina totenburg? can't remember) was saying alito might uphold and kennedy might have trouble upholding.
but i can't remember why as i got four hours of sleep and i have lady bits.
You heard about the assassination attempt on Clarence Thomas, right? They put poison on Scalia's butthole.
Me too. I'm guessing that Obama's elitist Harvard Law degree may have been useful when this law was written.
I might even venture 7-2. But if it goes back maybe we'll have another shot at single payer.
Rock chalk, chicken hawk, I'm a bracket buster, etc.
Oh now that's a silly question.
Have I seen Thomas somewhere before? Was it on a box of rice?
I don't think he's an Uncle Ben….
Definitely an Uncle Thomas, though.
A Coca-Cola promotion?
A PSA? Pubic Service Announcement?
I think it was on a box of pancake mix.
Well look at the picture – he is wearing a dress.
Cream of Scalia?
Wasn't he in Song of the South?
No, it was standing by his wife at a tea bagger fundraiser.
Hard to tell, he often wears his hoodie up.
He was in a movie: Another Hill to Climb.
I wish you had seen him on a carton of milk. Or in the Post Office.
Do they do that anymore?
Here's my insightful analysis: they will rule that Obamacare is ILLEGAL because Obama's a socialist, but that Romneycare, which is the exact same thing, is LEGAL because Mitt Rmoney is a rich white guy.
Exactly- if we called it something a little less, ethnic …
See precedent, Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 (2000).
I know this was produced PBS, a bastion of liberals according to the API whore Jim Inhofe, but I believe this is a pretty cool illustration of how the Affordable Health Care Act impacts Americans. The statement about the year 2037 is pretty scary:
http://newshour.tumblr.com/post/19842196257/healt…
Oh, and fuck Rick Perry, Rick Scott, Rick Santorum and Scott Walker.
Is there such thing as point-shaving in a Supreme Court decision? My money's on the ref.
Maybe Kennedy takes bribes from the "liberal" and conservative justices, and swings toward the side that pays him the most.
Maybe they will vote so that all of us can have the same free healthcare for life they get. Maybe I should take a couple aspirin and go back to bed.
Don't they fall from between your knees when you roll over?
My knees are usually tied together.
Dude! I was the guy in the gimp suit!
What goes on under the robes stays under the robes….actually, it's whatever side has more guns….oh, we know that, too?…
They should have NASCAR-like patches on their robes to show where their true loyalties lie.
I like it – it'd probably be the same companies….
No snark – this is a no-brainer. It is 7-2 to uphold the law with Roberts writing the majority and Scalia joining in a concurring opinion. That's on a bad day. On a good day it is 8-1. Thomas dissents muttering about death panels and the end of freedom as we know it. the phrase "economic slavery" may be mentioned
All I'm hearing is you saying something about how the Koch Brothers failed to pay a vig to the justices. Is that right?
Do I need to update my bracket?
No less than two on dissention. Scalia and Thomas rule as a team.
Not on this one. Scalia will have nothing but scorn for the argument that there is some new liberty interest implicit in the Commerce Clause. He may be wrong, but the man is absolutely consistent.
Why don't they skip the ACA, and just talk about ruttin' and contraceptives? It'll be a 6-3 vote, with the wimminz' votes not counting, for being wimminz.
From the annoying poll over there>>>>>>>
WTF, hengh?
I mean really, who else gets to vote in public, anyway?
Gingrichcare= F*ck you, you poor piece of crap. If you want free health care, become Vice President!
Santorumcare= Pray for health. Except for me and my family, we go to a sweet doctor and make our own choices.
Romneycare= Same as the plan that last dude had, but with a less ethnic name!
Romney's not even signing up for Medicare! That's how much he's against government-run health care! The fact that he's obscenely wealthy and can buy and sell docs and hospitals like with the rounding errors in his Cayman Island accounts has nothing to do with it.
If Clarence Thomas had any integrity, he would recuse himself because of his wife's anti-healthcare work; but, he has no integrity (or intelligence, class or morals).
And stop going to the Rose Bowl Parade dressed as a giant can of Coca-Cola.
Thomas has nothing but a giant seething ball of resentment. Its stuck in his craw.
Oh, nice going, piss him off even more!
Dude. You used the words "Clarence Thomas" and "Integrity" in the same sentence.
It will be 6-3.in favor of ACA. Kennedy will go for itwhich means it will pass and Roberts will jump on when he sees it will pass, since he will want to write the decision. All the sophisticated dynamics of a Kindergarten playground.
I personally think they will decline to rule on it as not being ripe (until 2014) when the individual mandate actually kicks in. Usually the Court would indicate there is no standing….however, because they are taking the case, I figure they'll gun Travyon (I mean Obama) down.
The cable wise men are saying the brevity of this morning's session indicates they don't want to decide this/put off making the decision on the technicality. This either means they don't want to give the American people even two years of positive experience under ACA, or they think the Mayans were right so why fuck with this.
All good commies agree that it is easier to make it through times of freedom with no health rather than times of health and no freedom.
I predict a tie.
Then its a win for uphold.
Clarence Thomas and John Roberts, spotted at an event at the Crew Club in D.C. this past weekend, told several very close friends there that when they're hearing cases in the Supreme Court, on duty, they don't wear anything under their robes. And Thomas said he often daydreams about Ann Coulter and felching when he's sitting on the bench. Roberts says he thinks about dougnuts, Jill Biden, caramel cremes, Cleveland steamers, oysters, Michelle Malkin and Reese's peanut butter cups.
I just hope that whoever votes the opposite direction of Thomas gets the honor of middle of the night drunken phone calls from Ginny demanding their apologies.
Along with long detailed descriptions of porno scenes starring Long Dong Silver. Say, what's that on my Coke?

Plenty of Congresspeople say no!
As part of a special publication devoted to the case, the ABA surveyed a group of veteran observers and asked them to predict the outcome. The results? Eighty-five percent predicted that the court will uphold the law.
http://www.tnr.com/blog/jonathan-cohn/101842/supr…
I hope they're right, because I bet Romney $10,000 that Obamacare will win.
To be serious for a second, it'll probably all come down to Kennedy and I think he'll probably have one of his non-hateful moments and vote to uphold.
I can't vote until I hear the Gamemakers scores on each of them first.
Because it's where all you stuff is?
That is probably true, plus I have an oldish spouse who wouldn't want to come with me.
Do what Newt would do and trade him in for an anorexic albino.
Albino slander!!!
Um, the rest of us will come with you. We ARE talking UK, yes? TAKE ME THERE.
Sheesh… one post about the Supremes and- NO MORE POSTS EVER!
We are definitely headed in the right direction…
SCOTUS/Affordable Care Act Haiku:
Cuccinelli, wet
Thomas, silent and erect
Roberts a surprise upfist
Neez less Anthony Kennedy, moar Ted Kennedy.
OK, I'm from Vegas, are we placing odds?
I'm sure we are – check the odds sheets…
So, the ACA was basically written by the Heritage Foundation and the insurance companies (with the exception of that pesky ending rescission part), but everybody is expecting our venal and wholly-bought Supreme Ct. to what? Strike it down?
No, my friends, it will go at least 7-2 in favor and single-payer will be dead for at least another 20 years.
Wonkette Bookmaker: Will "Wonkette Bookmaker: What Will Be the Final Supreme Court Vote Against Obamacare?" be the final post of the day for Monday, March 26?

Angelina Jolie borrowed it.
She wears it well.
3/5 rule.
He has government run health care.
That's not his leg.
I can't believe it took five comments before we got to this one!
I think that there's too many posts so far today, not too few.
…but if I 'thumb' this, because it's funny, won't it look like I'm agreeing it's "too many posts" — which I don't?
It's like the conundrum faced on Facebook when someone posts a thoughtful, or pertinent, or salient link to a story that contains BAD NEWZ so while I don't want to concur "That's Great!" still I want to thank them for mentioning the story.
Yes.
I hate to be non-snarky on Wonkette first thing on a Monday morning, but as regards the Supreme Court, Justice John Paul Stevens was more prophetic than Nostradamus when he wrote in his 2000 Bush/Gore dissent, "Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year's Presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the Nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law."
Good post! As we now know, Al Gore won Florida according the the NYT and other reporters who actually counted the votes after the unelected lifetime politicians in robes stole the election in favor of their corporate overlords.
The world would look a lot different if Gore had fought harder and hadn't handed the keys to the WH over to that beady-eye, oily snake and the sociopathic drunken fukhead.
Apparently the wee one and the wise looking latina ordered the lobster.
Female justices have to cover their bosoms better.
I learned from conservatives that judges should not rule on issues that could personally affect them, so I assume that any justices getting government-based healthcare insurance will recuse themselves.
16-4. I was homeschooled. I hated my teachers. All of them–through all 7 grades.
Rooting for a 0-0 tie with lots of injuries.
The case will create a miasma of robes, fluttering in fury.
How Yeatsian…..
I think the ethnic looking lady will win it all in overtime.
I am an optimist and believe that a) reason will prevail, and b) the health care mandate will be upheld.
We are all, of course, shaped by our history. If SCOTUS had ruled against Gore in 2000, I might feel differently.
They'll pull out some equivocating unanimous decision so we all see starbursts for a while, then when we least suspect it WHAM Roberts brings the Hammer down.
I think that's the best survey I ever took…short, sweet, to the point!
Thought bubbles: Roberts: No, I'm not gay, but I did experiment a little in college. Alito: Am I going to die without knowing what a blowjob is like? Probably. Scalia: Fuggagetaboutit! Thomas: OK, I've got the white pussy, but shit, that is one ugly unpleasant fucking woman.
Thomas dreams of Callista. Who may be available soon.
Thomas will no doubt be able to go at least seven inches where no man has gone before….
Has anyone noticed how Justice Scalia bears a striking resemblance to Long John Silver?
http://s114.photobucket.com/albums/n264/IonaTrail…
I think that they might vote 5-4. Of course, they could go for a 5-4 vote that B. Hussein Obama is an EVIL COMMIE SCUMBAG.
Intrade has the odds of Obamacare being struck down this year at 33%, though over 60% (?!) by the end of 2013.
Haha, but Intrade, obviously the people who would submit their opinions to a "market" to find Truth are bleeding-heart liberals with no bias.
The conservatives get a two-fer here. They can snuff out creeping Socialism and help the GOP defeat Obama. 5-4 against, like the boss said.
#2 With a Bullet, On the Wrong Side of History, Bethind Dred Scott
You couldn't dance to that hot mess, either…
I will be at the rally(supporting– of course, do I look like a teabagger to you??) tomorrow. If you see any footage and there is an older lady wearing a t-shirt with Obama punching a zombie- and holding a pink yarn uterus(me- not the Prez)- I will have outed myself to Wonkette. I'd post the photo of the uterus here but do not know how
do these people have super pacs?
I predict Obamacare will be thrown out under a little-used commerce clause:
The Terrible Two Year-old "You Can't Make Me Do Anything" clause…
Snapper, of course. The men had Coney Island whitefish
