The Federal Constitution did not give the Federal Government any role in the regulation of the health, safety & morals, of the citizens of the several States. (Read it, if you think otherwise, United States Constitution.) These concerns, considered together as the "Police Power," were left to the States.

Why Gingrich feels the need here to embrace the Obama/Pelosi/Reed agenda for greater centralized power, may be a subject of debate. But it is a wrong-headed approach. Not only is it illegal, it is no accident that the soaring percentage of GDP that goes for health care in America, has directly coincided with the increased Federal involvement, at least since the days of LBJ.

Well said.

What is the punishment that Congress can mete out to violations of the US Constitutions?
