Kathryn Mayer's analysis, if you can call it that is disgracefully myopic and one-sided. When Rick Santorum call for "activist judges" to be sent to Guam, that's not a threat or bullying, but when President Obama suggest that overturning the will of the people's duly elected federal representatives is unprecedented, that's bullying? Let's be serious. If you don't like the individual mandate and you think it's ok for millions of children to go without health coverage, then say so. If you would rather an insurance company deny people coverage instead of the people deciding what's in their own best interests then say so. Just don't be absurd, because when you say silly things, you just make it clear, that you would never get admitted to the University of Chicago's School of Law, so you won't ever have to worry about asking for your money back.
