Heh, I’m glad that the sole Liberal is getting his say here on FreeRepublic...
You should be ashamed though to call this constitutional.
Please tell me where in the Constitution it says that the Federal Government has control over Heath Care? I,m sure you can come up with an answer. We were defined as a Republic to insure States rights regarding the Federal with additional protections in place supposedly by the Constitution. Seems that those safeguards have been displaced. After all (before the 10th amendment being interpreted to allow anything) States rights are predominant!
It matters not that the Democrats lied (they do that all the time), it is a matter of whether the courts consider the law passed (regardless of how) is Constitutional or not.
That is the Supreme Courts mantle. Not to legislate, not to agree with any party, but to uphold the Constitution. If they fail to do that (according to common sense by the people) then they have not only failed, but they have overruled the government as proscribed by our forefathers.
Passing a tax is not the same as regulating one third of the nations economy. I’m sure you disagree but do you also agree that the Courts could allow control of the Automotive Industry. The only difference is how they effect others.
Neither passes normal peoples idea of the proper application of the Constitution. We are surviving unusual times as your post shows.
We are in for a massive rebellion.
Deagle, I’m in for the rebellion.
I’m also in for free speech. It’s sad what a nasty pool of inbred thinking Free Republic is becoming. To hurl insults at posters of long standing who express thoughts contrary to your own is not conservatism. It’s fascism.
FR once was a place where we all knew that, in the big things, we were together, but we felt free to “think aloud,” throw out new ideas, speculate.
Now anyone who does that gets tarred with the worn-out label “liberal.” Is that really the best you can do?
A much more interesting poster called me a “dung beetle” last week. Unfortunately, it was a mistaken post, meant for another, but I did appreciate the creativity.
