Unelected arbiters of justice, appointed for lifelong terms, decided today that a 7,000-page document that intertwines state authority with a capitalist financial scheme comports to the boundaries set in ink on a piece of parchment written 225 years ago by 50 men –the document they created that by some alchemy entitled them to rule over an entire nation by threat of force. The decision states that if you get sick you are forced to pay an already-wealthy man money or die.

Somehow the decision today is regarded as one of morality.
