NY TIMES: CONSERVATIVES JUSTICES hold "disturbing views" re:
Poast new message in this thread

This is a bizarre view that treats Medicaid, a voluntary federal-state partnership, as an affront to state sovereignty. There is no legitimate constitutional question on this issue. It is disturbing that the conservative justices seriously entertained the opponents’ argument |

This. This is precisely why, on average, the "intellectual" (read: intelligent, educated) conservatives that I know tend to be substantially better at articulating exactly why they hold conservative views and justifying those views using empirical evidence, reasoning logically from stated first principles, etc.
It's not that they have more RAW INTELLECTUAL HORSEPOWER than their liberal analogs - its that having grown up and gone to school in environments that were predominantly filled with teachers/students who always sort of took it for granted that everyone shared some basic (but disputable) liberal presumptions about the world, they had to make the conscious decision not only to hold conservative beliefs but to justify them in the face of otherwise seemingly intelligent people constantly pushing back.
Meanwhile, the liberals all just sort of agreed with each other and never had to develop really tight, cogent arguments in favor of their positions - or even their first principles. The arguments that they struggled with were never about whether liberalism was right or not; the arguments were about which is preferable, socialism or outright Marxism? So they can intelligently debate the latter point for hours on end, but if you really press them on whether *any* form of big government is preferable to small, limited government, they sort of sputter and act like you just suggested that gravity might not exist and they don't even know how to respond to your ridiculous suggestion (because frankly, a lot of them don't.) |

No state has any choice
Just another way to hide the true costs of fed actions. Just as we all overpay severely because medicare underpays. The actual costs of medicare/mecicaid are EVEN HIGHER, as if it wasnt frightening enough already. |
