Pelosi: Court Will Find Health Care Law Constitutional by Vote of 6-3

By Douglas V. Gibbs

When asked why so confident, Pelosi responded, "Because I know the Constitution."

"This bill is ironclad," she continued. "It is ironclad. Nobody was frivolous with the Constitution and the health of the American people in writing the bill,” she said. “So, that’s where my confidence springs from, the merit of the bill and the nature of the Constitution. The makeup of the court, well, we’ll see."

The federal government has no constitutional authority to take over a private industry, to involve itself in health care, nor to mandate that Americans purchase a service. The Commerce Clause was designed to enable the federal government to act as a mediator in State disputes over commerce, the General Welfare Clause is a condition reached when the federal government follows the Constitution and was not meant to be a clause in the manner the statists and nationalists use it, and the Necessary and Proper Clause is only in play if the law was passed based on the the authorities expressly enumerated by the Constitution.

I believe the people behind Obamacare did not take care that the law was constitutional, but they did spend a lot of time trying to find arguments in support of the law in regards of the Constitution, even if they had to warp it through "interpretation" and the unconstitutional concept of Implied Powers.
