He’s probably correct. Its very doubtful the USSC will overturn this.
Whether or not a lawsuit can prevail, the bill is unconstitutional. If not, it’s probably time for a Constitutional Convention.
how may this be done without creating a precedent that the fedguv may require all americans to buy one box of kellogg’s corn flakes a week?
“He’s probably correct. Its very doubtful the USSC will overturn this.”
That’s not the point...the bill is clearly unconstitutional - but the only reason it might stand is because we no longer enforce those parts of the Constitution...and Frist knows that.
Thus, even if he believes it will stand, he should keep his mouth shut, at least in public, and not give the Court more rationale than they already have given themselves to uphold this garbage. Now they can say: “See, even Republican leaders agree this is constitutional” - and they will say that - worded differently (like, “there’s a consensus now that government programs are good”)...that’s why people like Frist need to simply KEEP QUIET.
