No doubt. That is an argument so retarded it is practically embarrassing; the fact that someone might engage in commerce in the future constitutes his engaging in commerce now.
Glad you're a mind reader and a predicter of human behavior. The rest of us are not. If a person doesn't drive or own a car now, should the govt. make him buy car insurance anyway, assuming he will own one in the future?

Evidently you completely mistook my comment. Allow me to rephrase to ensure clarity: "[The argument the judge used is] so retarded it is practically embarrassing; the fact that someone might engage in commerce in the future constitutes his engaging in commerce now."
Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when
