The Supreme Court's health care decision

There are a lot of subtleties in the Supreme Courts' health care decision yesterday. After the initial euphoria/disappointment (depending on your view of the health care plan) passed, it has become clear that while liberals won a near-term victory, conservatives probably won a far more important long-term victory in their drive to restrain the power of the federal government, and in particular to restrain ever broader interpretations of the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution.

But I thought the most important line came in Chief Justice Robert's opinion: “It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices."  In the end, if members of Congress impose on us truly dysfunctional legislation, it is our own fault as voters for electing and re-electing those members in the first place.
