Using Reed’s logic, couldn’t they force everyone to buy electric cars?
For the Lefties the answer should be easy. The general welfare clause and the commerce clause are the left’s all in one wonder clauses of the Constitution. Next they will use the commerce clause to force every family to buy a GM car.
Well then just do that now and skip the bill!
Sen. Jack Reed (D.-R.I.) said that he “would have to check the specific sections”
Right Sen. Libtard. The healthcare provisions in the US Constitution are next to the sections:
1) Free school lunch, midnight basketball, and cellular phone service.
2) Funding of ACORN.
3) Use of tax dollars for funding overseas abortions.
4) Exclusion of cell phone use while driving (I think Hamilton twittered that to the Constitional convention).
This does makes me wonder. How did Congress manage to mandate participation in Social Security and Medicare?
Their logic is simple:
“Since we’ve screwed you before, now it’s an accepted practice, and we can screw you whenever we want. And screw your constitution too”.
I’ve always felt the draft was on the hairy edge of government power. But on the other hand, I’ve used the draft as an argument against abortion. If we have the right to force men to spend 2 years of their life in danger of being killed, away from their families, in order to protect human life, why shouldn’t the government have the power to force women to spend 9 months of their life inconvenienced by pregnancy in order to protect human life?
Still, requiring people to pay taxes, or fight in a war, are fundamentally different concepts than forcing someone to buy the product of a private business, a product that has no direct value (insurance does nothing for you, except indirectly providing money to buy health care).
Now Deathcare™ is something to help Big Gubmint function. That should make headlines.
Yep......and they have their own constitution they go by up on Crapitol Hill.......obviously. :(
Someone needs to remind him that a war was fought over less than this healcare bill.
Congress does in fact have the right ‘To raise and support armies’ and it does not explicitly endorse or bar a draft.
But, try as i might I don’t find that article that allows them to make money from one person and give it to another in order to benefit a third party.

Remember gang they’re a problem of our own making.

He just goes to show that RI could have skipped being the 13th state to ratify the Constitution, and no one would have known. People in RI don’t seem to have much political understanding.
From national security to healthcare....yeah, that’s great logic there senator weed...ahh reed.
