All your thoughts are ours....the pinnacle of statism

Legal Insurrection points to a leftist legal ruling on Obamacare which in essence confirms the Obami argument that not only is any action governed by the Commerce Clause, any lack of action is governed.  Therefore anything one does or does not due is subject to Federal control.  That logic of course means that any thought, whether or not it translates into an action is subject to state control.  If one decides not to do something, one's decision may be compelled.  Aside from outright murder, the left fascists now assert that there is nothing, I repeat, nothing outside the ambit of wise and all seeing state lawyers if they choose to regulate it.  Amazing.  And people wonder why I call them fascists.

That seems to be the import of the ruling by federal Judge Gladys Kessler in upholding the Obamacare mandate in a suit brought by a group of private plaintiffs in Mead v. Holder (pg. 45, emphasis mine):

As previous Commerce Clause cases have all involved physical activity, as opposed to mental activity, i.e. decision-making, there is little judicial guidance on whether the latter falls within Congress’s power....However, this Court finds the distinction, which Plaintiffs rely on heavily, to be of little significance. It is pure semantics to argue that an individual who makes a choice to forgo health insurance is not “acting,” especially given the serious economic and health-related consequences to every individual of that choice.Making a choice is an affirmative action, whether one decides to do something or not do something. They are two sides of the same coin. To pretend otherwise is to ignore reality. 

Our thoughts are now actions.  There literally is nothing the federal government cannot regulate provided there is even a hypothetical connection to the economy, even if the connection at most is in the future.
