David Frum is Right

If the healthcare mandate is illegal, so are the mandatory private retirement funds that are so dear to the right wing think tanks is illegal too.

So, if SCOTUS strikes down Obamacare, there is a silver lining.  It takes Social Security privatization off the table.

In fact, it might have the effect of ruling out a lot of the misguided "Market Based Solutions."

No that this point was not raised by Obama's lawyers.  Hm, I wonder why?

Well, Obama's lawyers thought that Scalia would be on their side if they quoted his own opinions in their argument.

This is an indication that these people are seriously delusional and incompetent, but think that they are geniuses.

A less oprimistic view would be that they did not use that argument because Obama wants to privatize Social Security.
