From the Fed Soc, a bucket of documents on the Health Care Bill issue, including an analysis of the individual mandate issue, shaping up as the early leader among possible constitutional issues.
You might be amused to know that, in this year in which the Big Constitutional Issue besides health care is the 2nd Am., the only precedent being cited so far for a federal individual purchase mandate is the Militia Act of 1792, which required males of militia age to own a musket and ammo.
A bit meta, don't you think?
