"Any federal version of health care is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution does not specifically list regulating health care as an enumerated power!"

We may all believe that but, it is up to SCOTUS and the will of the American electorate to follow that line of thinking. First is the need to keep the voters with us. Second is to get a challenge before the court so they can rule on it.

For part one, the fickle electorate can be expected to stay behind a mandate to get rid of the plan for how long? 2? 3? 4? years. Meanwhile the the media and the dems unleash a campaign to go back to O and his plan. Remember, they still have 400B to spend from the stimulus money, which buys a bunch of media and puts a lot of money and "gifts" in the voters pockets.

So now the second part. Do you really think SCOTUS will get on any action at any time soon? Do you think we will stay at the "balance" we are at now, or O gets to put someone else on the court?

Your thoughts and reasoning now? Fact is, until it is ruled unconstitutional it is in effect and the wheels an 100+ admin departments and agency's are moving ahead with their own rules (LAW!) that they are tasked to set up. So in even 2 years there will be a mess to unwind, and no federal agency or department just "goes away".

Wrong. Neither SCOTUS, Congress nor the White House have the final say. The people have the final say as to how they are governed. Anyone who doubts this fact need only look to the Declaration of Independence where our Founding Fathers state the people have the right to alter or abolish the government and replace it with another government.

The Constitution doesn't allow any branch to determine unilaterally what is and is not Constitutional. The Constitution is an unambiguous document that does not suddenly change at the whim of any branch of government, unless the people give their consent. It specifically cites the powers granted to federal and state governments.
