“No dumbass, that is what the libtards in MA demanded and that is constitutional.”


So I guess you are going to keep asserting that it was constitutional for MA to do this, but won’t show me where in the MA constitution where they have a right to force millions of people to buy health insurance.

That’s really the answer to look for, because if you claim “anything goes” for the states, then you are basically saying you are okay if a state imposes full blown communism, provided they maintain a Republican “form” of government as required by the U.S. constitution.

I for one feel sorry for those poor fools who bought Mitt Romney’s and the DNC’s and the DSA’s lies about what RomneyCare would accomplish and do.

I don’t like it, You don’t like it but that’s What MA wanted.

CA is AFU too but it is allowed and legal.

What is not legal is for them to make Texas foot the bill.

Unlike the Federal Constitution (which grants Congress limited and enumerated powers), the Massachusetts Constitution contains a very broad grant of power for the legislature:

[F]ull power and authority are hereby given and granted to the said general court*, from time to time, to make, ordain, and establish, all manner of wholesome and reasonable orders, laws, statutes, and ordinances, directions and instructions, either with penalties or without;

*: Note that the "general court," in the terminology of the Massachusetts Constitution, refers to the legislature, not the judiciary.
