Actually, I thought that the impending lawsuit from the various State Attorneys-General was likely to win and invalidate that recent law (or two). However, when I looked up this issue of treaties trumping the Constitution, and i started reading the case law, I was a little surprised to find that most of the caselaw does in fact suggest that the Federal government can, if enacted properly through Congress, make a law that forces us to buy health insurance. The issue will come down to the distinction between the commerce clause and the 10th Ammendment.
