The elderly population has greater healthcare spending per cap than the 20-30 year old population. Getting old sucks.

The conservatives justices (if you buy into the whole conservative/liberal justices thing) would 100% be eager to up hold a state healthcare law if it meant getting to strike down Wickard v. Filburn and allocating more power to the states.
But thanks for being at least one person in this thread who appreciates that Medicare and Medicaid are not synonyms.
There is irony in making someone with your name explain themselves
Since when is it illegal to sell tritium in the US? Gun companies selling tritium glow in the dark sights all the time.
America and Americans broadly do not respect "international law" as an idea. We don't vote for representatives in a UN House of Reps or UN Senate. And if we did why would we wish to be beholden to a majority rules vote when that majority combined might be inferior militarily.
America tolerates international law when it doesn't interfere with our course.
The idea of a "one world government" is treated as a fringe tin hat conspiracy theory nonsense that no one is advocating for.
Every year about 8,000 people file their cases for cert at the Supreme Court. Each year they grant cert on about 80. Roughly 1/1000 odds. Those about 8,000 cases include cases that have also previously filed in past years without cert.
Amicus briefs are not uncommon. They often don't grant cert when there are no novel legal questions. The Supreme Court simply doesn't not have the ability to hear every appeal. Them not granting cert in any case should not be taken as a dispositive.
In 21/50 you need a license.
This logic works well until someone stumbles along with the opinion that QuantumSpecter is a racist bigot and a clenched fist.
They can. The issue is people want everything to be federal and ignore their own state. Most Americans can't even tell you what the first article of their own state's constitution is about. Or their own state house rep.
