When you buy whole hog into the commerce clause, you clearly dilute and weaken the enumerated powers. The argument is how much of that is constitutional. Plus the mandate to buy guns or insurance for seamen never had a constitutional challenge, so we do not really have a great example there.

Mandate to buy guns? LOL!
Okay so everyone who is for this medical insurance mandate would be perfectly comfortable with that coming back right? /// Just kidding. But that illustrates how our feelings on mandates will vary by the mandate itself. But that’s not a constitution issue. It’s a personal political beliefs issue.

The idea that there is no legitimate question to this is ridiculous. It’s not obvious or clear how this should go.

But let’s ask ourselves what benefits do enumerated powers provide, and how much do we want to reduce them? Will some argue these and the second amendment should go as anarchisms?
