Justice Scalia to Obama’s solicitor general: “We’re not stupid.” From a news article posted on TeaParty.org: “Justice Elena Kagan, a former solicitor general appointed by President Obama to the high court, sided with [Solicitor General Donald] Verrilli in arguing that young people should be required by the federal government to purchase health insurance because others will subsidize their health care in the future. Scalia shot back, arguing that young people will make the decision to buy health insurance eventually and do not need to be forced by the federal government to engage in commerce.” http://teapartyorg.ning.com/forum/topic/show?id=4301673%3ATopic%3A633358&xgs=1&xg_source=msg_share_topic
