Constitution? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Constitution…..
Here’s your Friday WTF …..
CNSNews had the gall to ask Queen Nancy if gubmint had constitutional authority to mandate health insurance…
(CNSNews.com) – 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?”
Pelosi’s press secretary later responded to written follow-up questions from CNSNews.com by emailing CNSNews.com a press release on the “Constitutionality of Health Insurance Reform,” that argues that Congress derives the authority to mandate that people purchase health insurance from its constitutional power to regulate interstate commerce.
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.”
Total disregard for the constitution. It’s all about turning this country into a F***ing socialist S**T HOLE…..
I’m so infuriated I’m almost speechless……… The post ends here….

article I, section 8, The congress shall have the power to… …provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States.
…Their use is out of context and their process is unconstitutional, but thats the line they can use. I wonder how long before the Supreme Court gets involved, and will so called “conservative” congressmen have the stones to call them into the fight…
