It is SO gratifying to know that a handful of people out there STILL know what the Constitution says, and are willing to defend it!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson of Virginia ruled that forcing American citizens to obtain health insurance (the lynchpin of Obamacare– by the way, the spelling error is intended) is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!! There is NO WAY the “interstate commerce clause” can be reasonably twisted to mean that Americans must buy or have federal health insurance (or a car or an ipod nano review or cans of spinach anything else, for that matter). I am totally, totally thrilled with this ruling. FINALLY. Some good news. Oh God, thank you.
Funny thing is… remember a year ago, when Nancy Pelosi scathing rebuked a reporter when she was questioned about the Constitutionality of the health care law? Oh it’s classic, my friends. This is what I had ranted last year:
In case you haven’t heard, those idiots in Congress are considering legislation that would FORCE us to get health insurance, or else the IRS stormtroopers will come knocking at our doors.
This is absolutely ILLEGAL to mandate. All laws in this country are supposed to abide by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Of course, this hasn’t stopped those Washington idiots since the days of FDR… but Pelosi was confronted about the issue, and her response is CLASSIC.
When CNSNews.com asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday where the Constitution authorized Congress to order Americans to buy health insurance–a mandate included in both the House and Senate versions of the health care bill–Pelosi dismissed the question by saying: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”
The exchange with Speaker Pelosi on Thursday occurred as follows:
CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”
Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”
CNSNews.com: “Yes, yes I am.”
Pelosi then shook her head before taking a question from another reporter. Her press spokesman, Nadeam Elshami, then told CNSNews.com that asking the speaker of the House where the Constitution authorized Congress to mandated that individual Americans buy health insurance as not a “serious question.”
“You can put this on the record,” said Elshami. “That is not a serious question. That is not a serious question.”
I’d love to know what Pelosi meant by “Are you serious?” when asked about the Constitution. Interpreted, was she really saying, “Oh that old rag! Do we still use that thing??”
Um, Mrs. Pelosi? Memo to Mrs. PELOSI: HELL YEAH, WE ARE SERIOUS.
