Should the US federal government step in and regulate boxing?

The point is you have 51 government commissions now. Some, like Texas, setting the lowest standards possible to attract dollars with NO concern for the fighters. How does a legitimate commission even sanction something like Pavlik against Jacko?

I'm sick of Boxing being the wild west of sports.

So your claim is wrong on its face sloth, especially when you look at the Robert's court.

My look at the court is a realist position, grounded in being informed of the history of the court and its actions. You clearly are ignoring reality to take the stance you are now taking.

Roberts breakdown of Romney care, which he ruled as a tax instead of a mandate, which it is shows clearly that the man cowered in the face of a political decision and took the easy way out. That said, he didn't make the decision based on stare decisis or established precedent, he dodged the issue presented to the court entirely.

You're wrong here. Again. Roberts' decision was based upon institutional, rather than political concerns. Your "look at the court" is not a realist position; it's vulgar, common, layman, half-learned cynicism. Again, you don't know nearly as much about this stuff as you claim. That much is patently obvious.

As I said, I could pull case after case after case showing the more "activist" justices on the current Court binding themselves to stare decisis. I could eventually cure you of your ignorance, but there is no curing idiocy.
