They don't come any dumber than this clueless liberal. A door knob has more brains than this POS.

@mattprov6294 The commerce clause applies to interstate commerce. Health insurance is not traded across state lines therefore it is intrastate commerce and not covered under the commerce clause. Not only that but to use the commerce clause in such a manner would mean completely ignoring original intent. The commerce clause was designed to prevent things such as trade embargoes between states. Nice try Obamanite

@shadowwbn Simple, the insurance for a car is not for you, it is for the other person who has the accident, there is a difference.

@zekal10 I've read the Constitution. Did you bother to read the 10th Amendment?

[zekal10]

@PissedFechtmeister I don't care what you are, libtard. Take time to read the Constitution instead of allowing CNN and MSNBC to tell you what they think you should believe in .

[PissedFechtmeister]

@zekal10 The Constitution does not contain an all inclusive list of rights. See the 10th Amendment. As I said no one has the right to force other people to buy them insurance. I'm not a "libtard", I'm an anarchist. Your knee-jerk reaction to attack people that you disagree with on a rather minor point indicates that you're some kind of sociopath. Probably of the Christian neocon variety.

[zekal10]

@PissedFechtmeister Incorrect. You don't have the right to own health insurance. This is not outlined in the Constitution. And as far as owning health insurance goes, you own it when you purchase it YOURSELF, not when others buy it for you. You Libtards need to realize this.

[PissedFechtmeister]

@zekal10 There's a right to own health insurance. There's no right to force others to give it to you.

Yep, does anyone really believe this:

Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism

is really going to help the American People?

Old Tail Gunner Joe would spunk his pants if he had had this law to use/abuse.

I did not spend 8 years in 3 subs so that these jokers can use our Constitution for toilet paper.

I would love to see some of these people up on Treason Charges.

Also, seeing as how these folks want to "serve the country," let all of congress draw E-1 pay, or
