...we said so. So there. :p

[Graybeard58]

Yet another rat weighs in with ignorant comments.

[mia]

He’s so sure of mandatory health insurance constitutionality that he doesn’t know where the clause is in the constitution. Hmmmmmmmm and..... we’re suppose to believe all he says when he doesn’t even know if the health care mandate is constitutional.

[guitarplayer1953]

Congress should be made to eat this shit sandwich right along with the rest of us. who once said no one is above the law?

[Senormechanico]

We’ve been stomping on people’s rights for a long time, so it’s a tradition! Where are your “Traditional Values”?

[Texas Fossil]

He did not say it was Constitutional.

He said it was Constitutionally justified. Weasel words for “we can do anything we want to you”.

But he of course cannot.

[stephenjohnbanker]

““Let me see,” said Reed. “I would have to check the specific sections, so I’ll have to get back to you on the specific section.”

Lying POS. He knows better.

[Domandred]

I can tell him what section(s) he thinks it is, but like most Libtards he thinks it means something it doesn’t.

[Safrguns]

Hah!... there is more explicit and direct authority given to the people by the constitution to overthrow the government if it becomes oppressive, than there is to authorize deathcare.

They don’t think they are being oppressive.

Watch what happens when half of our doctors leave their profession over this.

[StormEye]

"But it is not unusual that the Congress has required individuals to do things, like sign up for the draft and do many other things too, which I don’t think are explicitly contained [in the Constitution]."

The military draft is also unconstitutional (IMHO) Reid! The federal government doesn't own the American populace.

[DoctorBulldog]

The draft is authorized by Article 1, Section 8, Clause 12-16 of the U.S. Constitution:

To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

To provide and maintain a Navy;

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

The Constitution does not directly mention the word "draft" or even the older "conscription," but its authorization for the Congress to "raise and support Armies" is a clear indication of the same concept - to use the resources of the nation to create or man an army.

The same cannot be said for health care, as it is found nowhere in the U.S. Constitution...

Cheers

[This_far]

...but said that it was like making people “sign up for the draft.”

Women need not apply? How Taliban-esque of you Senator!

[Thrownatbirth]

The constitutional issue will have to be addressed long before it affects individuals. States will convene their own constitutional committees to simply opt out of any health care bill the government tries to impose.

I see State's rights vs. federal authority becoming the battleground, just as it was right before the Civil War.

[edge10]

I’m sure the Supreme Court will find justification in Scottish law or the Magna Carta.

[Just A Nobody]

It gives Congress a right to raise an army, but it doesn’t say you can take people and draft them. But since that was something necessary for the functioning of the government over the past several years...

Hey MORON...we have NOT had a draft over the past several years. Good grief! This is an example of the idiots that are making laws for me to abide by? FUJR

0bummerCare is like making all people buy the exact same bicycle.

Most folks have a bike and like their own, but don't want the government to take their current bike and force them to buy a government designed bike.

There are 37 vendors, but they are required to only carry the government designed bike.

Some very few people have no need of a bike. Too bad, the government is now forcing everyone to buy the government issued bike.

Repair parts for the bike will not be available. If your government issued bike breaks, too bad so sad, you're stuck at home until you starve to death.

If you choose to walk, take the train, boat or use any other form of transportation, the government imprisons you.

The government designed bike will cost $10,000 in a few years.

The government designed bike has known design flaws that will cause it to self destruct in 12 years.

The government will be able to track everywhere you go on your bike.

Brings to mind a visual:

They’ll use the income tax amendment to do it.

All they have to do is give everyone with the require insurance a rebate on their income taxes. Those without the rebate end up effectively paying a penalty.

Yet another reason to get rid of the income tax.

[wideminded]

Perhaps some knows what language in the Massachusetts constitution permitted that state to require people to buy health insurance.
