...NOT say anything about locking down these borders

I didn’t see that either or anything on amnesty.

And I didn’t see anything about having ALL Americans, from the president on down to have the SAME health care options. No exclusions for SPECIAL people or groups.

Maybe the Tea Party can make a counter pledge.

It's very simple to assure the same health care options to all Americans. It's called "You got money? Come on in!"

Making it any more complicated than that is how we got into this situation in the first place.I set prices for health insurance for 16 years.

The Interstate Commerce Clause should forbid states from setting up any barriers to competition. Congress has chosen to allow the States to change the law arbitrarily and capriciously in order to pick winners and losers.

What we need are five to nine Supreme Court Justices who vote like James Clark McReynolds. President Wilson mistakenly though McReynolds was a "Progressive" (Socialist). In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson appointed him Attorney General of the United States. On August 29, 1914, President Wilson nominated McReynolds to the Supreme Court of the United States. He served until 1941.

McReynolds and the other justices who were supporters of the Republican Party Constitution, ruled against the National Recovery Administration (NRA), the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) and ten other New Deal laws.

Charles Evans Hughes, however, caved into FDR political pressure (FDR threatened to ask Congress to add another 6 justices, meaning FDR would get his way on every Supreme Court ruling). Willis Van Devanter caved by resigning from the Supreme Court in 1937. After this, McReynolds was in the permanent minority of Supreme Court justices who would follow the Constitution.

We currently have 1-5 Justices, depending on issue, who follow the Constitution. We need control of the Presidency and the Senate long enough to fix that.
