Exactly. Well said. The Supreme Court has always ruled the same way in similar cases, so there is no reason to expect them to eact differnetly this time. This is nothing but political pandering.
can you cite a case where the supreme court federally mandated auto insurance.
Hint there is not one.
Car insurance is state mandated and is a right of the state. Car insurance has nerve been a federal mandate
New US jobless claims drop more than expected
(AFP) – 2 hours ago
WASHINGTON — New claims for US unemployment insurance fell more than expected last week after a sharp spike the week before, official data showed Thursday. Initial jobless claims fell to 404,000 in the week ending January 15, a drop of 37,000 from the previous week, the Labor Department said.
The department revised downward the claims for the previous week, to 441,000, the highest number since mid-November. The initial estimate was 445,000.
The new reading was better than the average analyst estimate of 425,000 and in line with a downward trend in claims over the past five months. "It's essentially returning us to where we were before the large increase last week," a Labor Department official told reporters.
The four-week moving average, which helps to smooth weekly volatility, fell by 4,000 to 411,750.
NOTE: Those are just INITIAL unemployment claims, meaning that those are only how many people signed up for the first time. It says nothing about those who are already on unemployment or simply gave up trying.

No car insurance requirement in your state and kiss your federal highway money goodbye, pretty cut and dry. Now back to the topic, oh wait, this is just silly, never mind.

They forget that without auto insurance you can not licence your car or legally drive, meaning we are forced to buy it for the general good, not to mention SS and medicare. It has already been done so the courts have already agreed that it is Constitutional. What some states are doing is just more grandstanding so the politicians of those states can say to their Repub voters that they fought it. More waste of money and time, I keep waiting for the politicians to get to work on issues that are waiting on hold while this silliness runs its course.

Casper came in and said courts have declared car insurance constitutional. You responded to Casper by saying the Supreme court has always ruled the same way in similar cases.
Since Casper had discussed Car insurance and you claimed the SC has ruled it constitutional i asked you to cite that case.
The new Montana Legislature is trying to force the leftist governor and attorney general to join the suit as well.
The gov and att gen are both vested deeply in leftest politics and have a lot riding on keeping obama in power even though Montana is pretty much a Red state, all of the elected gov, atty gen, sec of state, state auditor, and office of public instruction as well as our 2 senators, ( including Goldman Max Baccus to our shame) are all dems.
However, in the last election the Republicans took majorities in both the House and Senate of the State Legislature, so things are a bit fractious in state government here at the moment.
