According to CNSNews.com, “Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) would not say what part of the Constitution grants Congress the power to force every American to buy health insurance – as all of the health care overhaul bills currently do.”
That actually is not quite accurate: Leahy, who has been in office far too long to remember why he is there, could not say what part of the Constitution authorizes the unauthorizable.
A so-called "enemy domestic".
One cannot forget something one never knew!
Our government has limitless power.
a box of rox does not know what a constitution is.

The Commerce Clause and a few other clauses have been bastardized to justify virtually anything politicians want to do.
We have to move back to a sensible reading of the Constitution based upon original intent.
