“Therefore the US Congress can enact health care legislation because health care meets the definition of interstate commerce and the Congress can regulate by imposing a tax on those who don’t choose to participate by buying health insurance. Additionally, it is within the regulatory power of the congress to establish a government option to health care in order to provide for the general welfare of the citizens under Article II Section 8 of the constitution.”

If your assumption is correct, then the Supreme Court isn’t worth diddly squat and our Constitution isn’t worth the paper it wss written on in the eyes of the Supremes. Our constitutional gov’t is no more. Therefore, revolution may be in order, as we no longer will have a workable Constitution to defend.

I don't buy the revolution talk and I cant take anyone who claims to be an American conservative seriously who proposes revolution. The way Americans change things is through the ballot box not by revolution. Winning elections by winning the battle of ideas is the way change happens in America. Win elections and change the direction of the country through legislation that is the American way.

The word welfare means “well being” in that phrase. And general well being is the precurser to the enumerated powers.

The word “regulate” means to “make regular.”

So in other words..they may not pass a bill that forces an individual to purchase a good to support another.
