When the federal government can take money out of our pockets – out of our grandchildren's pockets, that is – to build a tunnel for turtles; when the Commerce Clause and the General Welfare Clause are cited as authority to regulate anything from what farmers can plant to what Grandma can sell at her yard sale; when states fall all over themselves to do whatever the Feds want in exchange for more federal tax dollars…

…are we really all that shocked that Congress might say: buy health insurance or go to jail?

And one more thing, while I'm killing some time (both the Ohio St./Penn St. and Alabama/LSU games are in commercial): if those Catholic Bishops end up helping to pass the health care "reform" bil, thinking that the bill has been amended to preclude tax-funded abortions, but then that amendment is stripped from the bill in some future legislative shenanigan...

...exactly what will those Catholic Bishops do then?
