Individual Mandate vs. Martin/Zimmerman

















The Supreme Court debate on universal health care is occasionally overshadowed by the Martin/Zimmerman case.


The court’s debating commerce, but the news
Is taken still by hoodies. It is odd
That we can give a showman such a nod
While several Justices debate the views
Of law and constitution. I suppose,
If I had found a bigger story, I
Would wonder how the headlines did belie
The greater tale and danger that arose
From this imagined story, when instead
They focused on Obamacare. Believe
That for the people who would daily grieve
Our racial inequality, the head
Of all important matters is the case
Where process isn’t due because of race.
