I mean, now correct me if i'm wrong here but your argument boils down to.

"The supreme court should say the ACA is unconstitutional, because congress has decided it doesn't want to regulate healthcare more in the constitutional ways it could do it (Like single payer.) "

Not that it's not regulating it at all... cause it totally is. You're arguing Congress should get new powers, simply because it doesn't like it's old powers and wants to do it in a way that was previously completely unconstitutional.

 

So basically, all congress ever has to do to get more power, is to refuse to use the tools it has to regulate something.  Demanding we give it other powers with which to regulate something.  Although I guess not refuse to regulate something... since healthcare is being regulated....

 

so congress just has to refuse regulating something as much as you'd like and demand new powers previously unconstituonal to regualte it.

 

We've still never supported why it's unconstitutional, here. Is there judicial precedent that struck down other notions of regulated commercial activity? "Everyone has to buy this," sounds weird on paper, and sounds sort of like it should be unconstitutional, but i haven't seen the evidence for this outside of perhaps the 10th Amendment.
