re: #559 ignoranceisfatal

Really? What part of the constitution, specifically, does it violate? The same one that forbids the government from requiring people to have car insurance, right?

Perhaps more interesting than you think. I doubt it’s unconstitutional, but one can always refuse to buy car insurance through the act of refusing to purchase a car. So it’s not apples-apples.

Still, if it were purely unconstitutional, even one of our undistinguished congressmen or women (or, more likely, their staff) would have realized it by now.
