	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The only way the ACA can be declared Constitutional is if Roberts applies the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle to it... it’s both a tax and not a tax at one and the same time.

[Amendment10]

Thank you for referencing that article SoConPubbie. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Even if train wreck Obamacare Democratcare had been an outstanding success, why is Sen. Cornyn, elected in 2002, just now making an issue about the Origination Clause with respect to Democratcare, years after the fact?

Cornyn and Harvard Law School-indoctrinated Cruz are politicking with respect to trumpeting the Origination Clause imo. Does the Originiation clause give them an excuse to sidestep making the federal government's constitutionally limited powers of Section 8 of Article I an issue?

Judge Andrew Napolitano will read Section 8 to you in about 3 minutes.

Judge Napolitano & the Constitution

Since Judge Napolitan reasonably concluded that Section 8 doesn't say anything about Congress having the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes, please consider the following excerpts. They are from Supreme Court case opinions where the Court has not only officially clarified that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes, but also that powers not expressly delegated to the the federal government via the Constitution are prohibited.

• ”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• “Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• ”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
