Democrats Can't Describe The Constitutional Authority To Do What They're Doing Because It Doesn't Exist

Various Democrats in Congress have been asked to explain what in the Constitution gives them the authority to take over health care. Since the government has never done anything remotely like this before, it's a logical and rational question deserving a serious answer. Problem is, they don't have a serious answer. When a politician can't come up with a mature answer to a reasonable question they turn the question back around in ridiculing fashion.

For example, Ms, Pelosi's answer: "Are you serious?" And, just in case the questioner didn't understand her profound answer, she asked it again: "Are you serious?" Try to make the questioner feel like an idiot for even asking the question in the first place not only deflects the question but attempts to make the questioner feel like such an idiot they won't dare ask it again, lest their intelligence be questioned again. Real mature madam speaker and without a doubt it is a very thoughtful and reasonable answer which clearly proves there is a solid constitutional basis which you know and understand.

How about this response by another Congressional Democrat to the same question: "That's why we have constitutional lawyers". In other words, "I don't have a clue how we can justify it but trust me, we have lawyers (oh, good, I feel better now!) looking out for the constitution for us and for you". Huh? How's that for deflection and non-answer? Not bad, eh?

These two responses above are CLASSIC non-answers for when the reponder really has no clue what the real answer is. I'm sure they're now busy figuring out how to spin future answers to that question so they don't sound so clueless next time.

Fact is, there is NO constitutional basis for what they're doing. And one aspect of this is glaringly unconstitutional. Never, ever before has our federal government forced all citizens to purchase a private company's product. There's a reason why it hasn't been done before ... it's unconstitutional! Dems argue that it's no different from requiring people to buy auto insurance which is total BS because driving and owning a car is A CHOICE! It offends me that they take us for such idiots.
