In fact, what Romney did may be wrong philosophically, but it is still constitutional. If the yahoos in Massachusetts want this - all well and good, and they apparently do. Romney has been very clear that the Federal Government has no right under the constitution to enact Obamacare - and THAT is the important issue here.

Wow, Zulu. Please answer me this: You are claiming state Romneycare is Constitutional and federal Romneycare is unconstitutional. Because Romney said so. But the Supreme Court ruled that federal Romneycare IS CONSTITUTIONAL . Once again: The Supreme Court ruled federal Romneycare is Constitutional. Q.E.D. FEDERAL ROMNEYCARE IS CONSTITUTIONAL!



Please explain your theory of the Constitution that Romney can decide what is Constitutional, but the Supreme Court can't?! That is a preposterous argument. The Constitution doesn't give presidential candidates more authority to decide what's Constitutional than the Supreme Court. And you know that.



So when you are voting, you are not voting between what candidates think is Constitutional. You are voting whether they think Romneycare is a good idea. And they both think it's a good idea. And don't try to sell me that something Romney is proud of, he wouldn't be okay making national. Expand the pride. The fact is, he's have to be dead set against it to combat it on the federal level.



The federal/state argument is a sham. It's either a good idea or it isn't. Vote on that.

The Supreme’s ruling essentially means that we no longer have any constitutionally protected rights anymore. We are a Democracy now, where anything can be pushed through on the basis of the commerce clause or the power of the government to levy taxes. Apparently, buying a product is now an acceptable tax. Ding Dong, we’re screwed!

What can be done in the states is not the same as what can be done at the federal level.

There is a reason Ca and ma suck. It’s because they can under the law.

The rest of us laugh at them but they have the right to suck at the state level

Am I arguing with a leftist Democrat here?

If the left-leaning idiots on the SCOTUS decide the sky is really green instead of blue, do you believe them? At this point we ALL should know that Jorge El Segundo has “Warren Courted” us with that idiot Roberts.

Obamacare is not Constitutional. Nowhere in the Federal Constitution is the Federal Government given the power to establish a health plan - NOWHERE.

But the Tenth Amendment CLEARLY states that whatever powers are not specifically delegated to the Federal Government are retained by the people and the states.
