re: #98 Lanzman
Car insurance is a STATE, not FEDERAL, requirement where it’s mandatory, and is within the state’s purview as licensing authority for operating motor vehicles. Driving a car is not a constitutionally-protected right.
Forcing a person to purchase a commercial product that they might not want is well beyond the scope of the federal government’s powers, no matter how you warp the commerce clause. It is yet another example of grotesque federal overreach into an area where they have no constitutional grounds for interfering.
OK. Now, what should we do with the uninsured person who’s just been hit by a car?
