FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Constitutionally ignorant voters need to get themselves up to speed with the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers and then wise up to the reality that misguided activist justices have lied to everybody, imo, about the constitutionality of federal healthcare programs.
More specifically, activist justices wrongly ignored that the Supreme Court had historically clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate healthcare issues.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
“Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously [emphases added] beyond the power of Congress.” –Linder v. United States, 1925.
And for those federal Democrats and RINOs who argue that if the Constitution doesn’t say that they can’t do something then they can do it, the Supreme Court has addressed that foolish idea too. PC interpretations of the Constitution's Supremacy Clause aside, Clause 2 of Section VI, the Supremes have clarified that powers not expressly delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the power to dictate intrastate healthcare policy in this case, are prohibited to the feds.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Good factual information, but what can we do about it? States need to do more than just sue, it seems.
