"A huge and dangerous leap of logic"

The great Thomas Sowell once again brings the ultimate clarity to an issue - this time, the individual mandate. He uses the example of laws requiring drivers to stop at red lights. He points out that tired, drowsy drivers are more likely to run red lights than rested and alert drivers, but that it is a bridge to far for a municipality to pass a law requiring everybody to get x number of hours of sleep.

It sounds like the Supremes get this, from coverage of yesterday's session.
