Pelosi: Constitutionality Questions Not Serious
By Wyatt Earp | October 24, 2009
Silly humans, the Democrats are in charge. You are supposed to listen and obey!
First Patrick Leahy scoffed at questions over whether the federal government has the authority to order Americans to buy a particular product, even though that has never happened in our 233-year history, and now the Speaker of the House claims that the question is “not serious.”
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 avoided answering the question, probably because she doesn’t have an answer. Her spokesman said that it was “not a serious question,” but if so, one would presume that Pelosi or her office could provide an easily-corroborated answer. After all, the Constitution is where Congress derives all of its authority. It’s not exactly a lengthy document. (H/T – Hot Air)
My opinion? Like many hardcore libs, Pelosi believes that the Constitution is a “living, breathing” document, meant to be molded to fit their particular agenda. Of course, the Founders didn’t believe that, but Madame Speaker is much, much smarter than the likes of Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Paine. Just ask her; she’ll tell you.

The question being, does she even know what she reads? And is there anything that resembles comprehension of something in print, that something having been around for about 228 years. And we know for a fact that the sphincter of the house does not consider you and I capable of any rational and logical thought. Might be time for a visit from a vigilance committee, 3-7-77.

Glenn – Might be time for the people of San Francisco to reverse those lobotomies and vote this broad out.

There is NO, repeat NO code, codicil, body of law or document which allows goods or services to be mandated by the federal government.
What about state-paid automobile insurance? State paid homes for all? State-paid clothing for all?
Where shall it stop?

“On every question of construction, let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.”

“We have a constitution?” “Huh!”……”Imagine that”.
“Well……..we’ll have to fundamentally change THAT won’t we?”

Just when you think you got it bad, you realize that somewhere there is a Mr. Pelosi and your day gets considerably better.
How’d you like to be that poor schmuck?
