If the government can force you to buy health insurance, it means they own your body, not you, and you are just renting it from them.
CCW morphing into CW II..
Oh bullshit... this bitch just interpreted a clause that negates the entire document... this is why I negated fox.

It’s sadly starting to look like it, mo?
“Oh bullshit.....”
Oh no. The RinoCracy is going trot out all the news babes over the next few months to be sure us peons and peasants fully understand the lay of the land.
You see, “necessary and proper” has other, ominous, “homeland security” type issues....such that ANYBODY “interfering “ with such implementation of “necessary and proper” stuff will “need” to be dealt with for “the good of the country”. Right out of Nazi Germany type stuff.
Huh?

“The fundamental principle of constitutional construction is that effect must be given to the intent of the framers of the organic law and of the people adopting it. This is the polestar in the construction of constitutions, all other principles of construction are only rules or guides to aid in the determination of the intention of the constitution’s framers.”--- numerous citations omitted, Vol.16 American Jurisprudence, 2d Constitutional law (1992 edition), pages 418-19, Par. 92.

The constitution is the act of the people speaking in their original character, and there can he no doubt on the point with us, that every act of the legislative power, contrary to the true intent and meaning of the constitution, is absolutely null and void.”(my emphasis) Chancellor James Kent, in his Commentaries on American Law (1858)

Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the constitution, are constitutional,
One thing I don’t get, the SC is not the court of origin in this but the final authority on an appeal. Does not the lower court record count? In other words, why is the government now allowed to change its stance on the issue? First, it was not a tax, then it was a tax. First it was the commerce clause than it is the proper clause. Why go through the charade of two inferior courts to get to this point and of what value was the record of the inferior courts?

What specified power is Obamacare "necessary and proper" to carry out?

“If the government can force you to buy health insurance, it means they own your body, not you, and you are just renting it from them.”
Yes, I have been saying, since the start of this Obamacare fight, that by asserting the power to force an individual to purchase a product or engage in a particular form of commerce, as a condition of remaining a free citizen, the government is laying claim to OWNERSHIP of the individual citizen.
If I decline to purchase said product, the government will say “you must purchase”. I then will say I am a free citizen in this country and I cannot be compelled by the government to purchase a product against my will. The government will then say, well we passed a law and we have that power over you, you do not have the freedom to not purchase. I then will say I own my body and my life. They will then have to assert that, in this instance, they have ownership of my life and can force me to engage in this commerce.
Why can’t the govt force us all to buy volts if it says it is necessary to carry out fuel and emissions laws as well as other bs?
If this mess is not dropped at the SC - i truly believe that it will spark something like you cant imagine.
These disgusting tyrants and communists are really itching for unrest now.
