Why Liberal Democrats Hate the United States Constitution

The house version of the Health Care Reform Bill contains something noteworthy. As Nancy Pelosi was asked by a reporter on Friday, October 23, 2009…

CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”

Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”

CNSNews.com: “Yes, yes I am.”

Let's get a few things out of the way. The United States Constitution does not allow for the government to force (mandate) its citizens to purchase anything.

Nancy Pelosi either doesn't know this, or doesn't feel that she needs to answer the question. I think she knows the answer, but isn't going to comment. Here's why...

Consider, the current health care legislation's funding is based on the idea that people will be forced into the health insurance market by way of a government mandate. Remember, the plan is going to pay for itself because everyone will be in the system right?

Now consider, if the bill passes in its current form, or some form that still has the mandate in place, there will be a lawsuit and the mandate will be found unconstitutional. There is no Constitutional basis for a mandate of any kind. When the Supreme Court bars the mandate based on the fact that it is unconstitutional, what happens? Where is the funding going to come from?

Pelosi is like a Scooby Doo villain. "And I would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for you meddling kids Constitution!"

So, where will the money for government health insurance come from? I'll give you a hint. Tax increases. The mandate itself could be considered a tax, but Obama doesn't see it that way.

Just more (unconstitutional) "Change You Can Believe In..."

I believe that for the United States of America to survive, we will have to get back to our roots.
