demint is a retard who doesn't know anything about law, but asserts that the healthcare bill would be unconstitutional. lochner is an early 20th century case according to which demint would (probably) be right. however, the commerce clause has since been expanded via INTERPRETATION

It was a substantive due process case that, at the time, was closely linked to the idea that the federal government does not have a tremendous amount of power under the commerce clause.

My comment was directed at his conception of what is the proper -- and constitutional -- role of government. I honestly think he'd fit right in with the Lochner Court.

I also think that his idea of what is constitutional *may* have been close to correct during the Lochner era. Now, he's just woefully and embarrassingly wrong.

I agree there is a certain nexus b/t the commerce clause and lochner, but congress can have the power to do something under the commerce clause but be forbidden from doing that particular thing because of substantive due process

True. But this depends on what the SC decides comes under the protection of substantive due process.

Personally, I think that Lochner was wrong for deeper reasons, but was only superseded with commerce clause shit because it was the easiest way to get rid of the case.

i'm just a law student but i recall that the commerce clause has been interpreted to allow for pretty much anything if you can connect it to interstate commerce. i guess the rape law didn't go through, but unlike rape, insurance has clear interstate commercial implications.

That would be an interesting challenge, but I think that the best outcome for the challengers would be to be excepted from the mandate. I really doubt the mandate would be declared unconstitutional on first amendment grounds. I also think that Congress can just declare the mandate to be a tax and tell everyone to STFU.
