Obamacare is NOT, countrywide.

Based on what is it unconstitutional? Have you read in the Constitution about the Supreme Court? They said it was Constitutional. Where in the Constitution does it say you have the right to overrule them about what's Constitutional. Can you post your citation? Please, it would help.

If you can claim that federal Romneycare is unconstitutional, then I can claim state Romneycare is unconstitutional. Your whole argument is built on sham. Romney has no standing of backing up is claims. It's just a bunch of malarkey.

One more reminder. Obamacare/federal romneycare IS Constitutional!!!! The Supreme Court said so. And can dispute that they are the body the Constitution itself gets to decide that?? Romney's Constitutional analysis is sham.

“If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress. Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited Government established by the people of America.”

— James Madison, Speech on the Cod Fishery Bill, Feb. 7, 1792

“It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please. Certainly no such universal power was meant to be given them. It [the Constitution] was intended to lace them up straightly within the enumerated powers and those without which, as means, these powers could not be carried into effect.”

— Thomas Jefferson, Opinion on a National Bank, 1791

“This balance between the National and State governments ought to be dwelt on with peculiar attention, as it is of the utmost importance. It forms a double security to the people. If one encroaches on their rights they will find a powerful protection in the other. Indeed, they will both be prevented from overpassing their constitutional limits by a certain rivalship, which will ever subsist between them.”

— Alexander Hamilton, speech to the New York Ratifying Convention, 1788

“What is to be the consequence, in case the Congress shall misconstrue this part [the necessary and proper clause] of the Constitution and exercise powers not warranted by its true meaning, I answer the same as if they should misconstrue or enlarge any other power vested in them ... the success of the usurpation will depend on the executive and judiciary departments, which are to expound and give effect to the legislative acts; and in a last resort a remedy must be obtained from the people, who can by the elections of more faithful representatives, annul the acts of the usurpers.”

— James Madison, Federalist No. 44, 1788

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

—James Madison, Federalist No. 47

“I acknowledge, in the ordinary course of government, that the exposition of the laws and Constitution devolves upon the judicial. But I beg to know upon what principle it can be contended that any one department draws from the Constitution greater powers than another in marking out the limits of the powers of the several departments.”

— James Madison, 1789

SCOTUS said that Dred Scott was not entitled to protection under the Constitution, SCOTUS said that prayer in the public schools was unconstitutional. SCOTUS said eminent domain can be used by the state to seize private property and turn it over to another private party.

Do you think THOSE things were constitutional??

Clearly YOU have not read the Constitution. Read the Tenth Amendment.

And ObamaCare is NOT constitutional. I see you agree with Kagen, Soto-Mayor, Bader-Ginsburg, Breyer, and Roberts. You DISAGREE with Thomas, Scalia, Alitto and even KENNEDY?? What kind of Conservative ARE you? I think you are a troll. I am arguing with a liberal here.
