According to Conyers, “the government is empowered to do anything it deems necessary or useful under the ‘good and plenty’ clause.

And Choo Choo Charlie will railroad it through congress.

lol.

That’s no clause!

I am pretty sure that would be the very definition of “over reaching”.

Satire grows tiresome when it is indistinguishable from the daily news.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I’m waiting for someone to quote the “equal protection under JuJuBe’s” clause.

[KeyLargo]

Yum.

[PLMerite]

You get me every time.

I bought it again, Got mad as heck, and was going to post this is just BS. Keep having fun and I will keep falling for it. rofl.

It’s popularly known as the Santa Clause.

John, the sad and inescapable truth is that these “Democrats” believe that the Constitution grants them a blank check to draw on the accounts of all Americans to serve whatever they define as the “General Welfare”. Freedom and property rights are now subordinate to enforced equality of outcome, as they were in France in the Year One. Wake me up when it’s Thermidor.

I’d love to hear him square that line of reasoning with the 10th amendment.

[Slings and Arrows]

There may be a “Good and Plenty” clause, but there ain’t no Sanity Clause.

Thanks John. :)

Conyers wife is going to jail because she demanded that some people give her plenty (pay to play).

[Safrguns]

If you are going to do satire, please choose a fictitious topic.

Conyers actually DID say something along these lines....

Rush talked about it on his show the other day.

When you satirize a true story, you might as well be supporting it.

[abigailsmybaby]

You're one word off from not being satire anymore. LOL

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: What part of the Constitution do you think gives Congress the authority to mandate individuals to purchase health insurance?

REP. JOHN CONYERS, D-MICH.: Under several clauses. The good and welfare clause and a couple others.

"Charlie says... link to Choo-Choo Charlie commercials."

Check out the second cartoon. Charlie is running for President and is handing out the Candy for VOTES!

According to Conyers, “the government is empowered to do anything it deems necessary or useful under the ‘good and plenty’ clause. The Founding Fathers were wise enough to realize they couldn’t foresee the kinds of powers that would be needed in the future. So, they created language in that pretty much says we can do whatever we want if we think it’s for the benefit of the people."

*ahem*

"With respect to the words "general welfare," I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." -- James Madison

Conyers is a Communist who if the truth be known has probably committed many criminals acts and how about that convicted felon wife of his? I think his credibility is not worth anything.
