Opponents of the federal health care reform law want Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster to join other states in lawsuits challenging its constitutionality. House and Senate Republicans pushed through resolutions urging Koster to act. They say their admonitions are not political. Koster defers, saying the question involves a "fascinating" interpretation of the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution and should not be partisan.

For many years, there has been a simmering quarrel in the legal literature over the scope of the term "commerce" in the Constitution's Commerce Clause. Before 1937, the Supreme Court's interpretation was that the Clause authorized Congress to regulate only buying and selling across state lines -- the sort of thing we might label economic exchange, economic intercourse, or mercantile trade. The word was bound tightly with the Lex Mercatoria and the sort of activities engaged in by merchants: buying and selling products made by others, associated finance and financial instruments, navigation and other carriage, and intercourse across jurisdictional lines. For reasons of policy and politics, the founding generation inserted this conceptual and legal boundary into the Constitution. The clea...

In addition to the questionable constitutionality of the bill, the unfunded mandates in the health care reform bill will cripple Georgia's economic recovery," said [Casey Cagle]. "Unlike Washington, our state constitution requires us to balance the budget each year." The constitutionality of health care reform revolves around the interpretation of the 10th Amendment and the Commerce Clause. The 10th Amendment reads, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. There's an interesting subtext to the Georgia lieutenant governor's argument. In the Democrats' blind zeal to pass their leftist policies, they are by default writing checks they know they can't cash. That massiv...

[Janice Rogers Brown] is not an umpire, either. She is a judge on the District of Columbia Circuit Court - and someone whom President Bush could have nominated in [John Roberts]' stead. Judge Brown would be far less likely than Roberts to use the umpire image. Temperamentally, she's more the revolutionary, or rather the counter-revolutionary, against what she has called "the revolution of 1937," the year of "the triumph of our own socialist revolution. The notion that we ever had a triumphant socialist revolution might appear bizarre to many observers. But Judge Brown is only one of the lawyers, economists, and right-wing think-tank policy mavens who contend that there is a "hidden Constitution" or "Constitution in exile" that was supplanted in 1937 when the Supreme Court upheld bo...
