CNSNews.com - Sen. Reed: Forcing People to Buy Health Insurance is Constitutionally Justified Because It’s Like Making People ‘Sign Up for »
Posted By Striker101 3 weeks, 6 days ago in Political OpinionWhen asked where specifically the Constitution authorized Congress to mandate that individuals buy health insurance, Sen. Jack Reed (D.-R.I.) said that he "would have to check the specific sections" but said that it was like making people "sign up for the draft"

Senator Orin Hauch does not believe it is constitutional, and I agree completely. However, given that our elected officials in the House of "Representatives" and the President have obviously decided to form an oligarchy of themselves and their favored people, the constitutionality of the legislation is somewhat negated when the oligarchy decides to by-pass it. Isn't that what has happened? If they rule US, then obviously we have no say, and I do believe they believe they are our rulers. And Nancy makes a wonderful Marie (let them eat cake) Antoinette. Heaven help us!

Right. I wish I could get Jack Reed's supporters to hold their breath waiting for this one. There'd be a whole lot less Democrats in the world.
What is it with these people? Do they really think we're going to believe their outrageous lies? Or are they merely lying to themselves?
