Has your supreme court not made terrible decisions that anyone with half a brain can see are unconstitutional? For example Schenck v. U.S in 1919.
No he does not have a point. Being "Constitutional" does not address whether a law is good or bad. Yes we have had bad laws that were Constitutional. Crybabies like Paul forget the long term picture in that there have been cases upheld by one Supreme Court to later be over turned by another.
We don't currently know how this law will play out long term, but the same damned thing was said about social security and the GI bill when those were implemented.
If the law turns out to be that bad, the Supreme Court wont have to over turn it because even the left will want to drop it if their wallets get hit that bad by it. But if it does what some expect it to do, even the right will take to it as well.
