Kapact's Rant: "Is There A Constitutional Lawyer In The House?"

Fascinating to watch as the Progressives (otherwise known as liberals on this planet) are breaking every rule possible to shove this unpopular and unconstitutional package down our throats. You can't even call it a bill, because the Constitution plainly says that a bill must be voted on by both the House and Senate before it can become a law. So it's a package. But again, it is an unconstitutional package. The Tenth Amendment explains why:


The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Now, I'm not a Constitutional lawyer, I'm not smart enough think that we have 57 states, or that it's possible for an insurance premium to drop by 3,000 percent, or to think that it's possible for 500 million americans each month to lose their jobs... but I do know that A) the Constitution does not give the government the right to require a citizen to purchase a good or service, and B) that a bill actually has to be voted on by the House and the Senate before it is a law.

Maybe I'll just repeat for emphasis.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The Deemocrats (who love to 'deem and pass') have been asked where in the Constitution they are given the right to do the individual mandate, and they have not answered. They have responded with arrogance (shocking, coming from this regime), indignancy, ignorance. Even a creative grasp of Constitutional law (no, the Federal government does not set the max speed limit or require drivers to carry insurance... yet). But they haven't responded with facts. Oh they've used the mature tactic I tried as a five year old but didn't get away with. (they did it first!) "The Republicans did same thing" they say. The answer to that is, "I'm not talking about them, I'm talking about you." The Republicans did do some crooked things, so it's okay for you? Really grown-up. If the Republicans jumped off a cliff, would you? We can only hope. Just please don't take the rest of us with you.

The Founding Fathers were very careful about limiting the power of the Federal government. Very careful. The founding of our country was based on limiting the power of a corrupt central government. There is no more important purpose to our Constitution than limiting the power of the Federal government.

"...governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed..."

Again, for emphasis...

"...deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed..."

Congress cannot grant themselves power. They cannot 'deem' that something not voted on is law. And yet they are. Please, can a Constitutional lawyer explain that to me?
