Good piece on Obamacare & the Constitution
Good short piece on Obamacare, the Supreme Court and the Constitution. Scroll down to find it if necessary
Stephen Presser states exactly my own thoughts regarding Obamacare. I'm sure Sam Houston would agree as well. It was because of our dual sovereignty under federalism that Texas agreed to join the club. They had just claimed victory as their own republic, following Mexico's refusal to recognize Texas' independent statehood. Because Mexico remained a real threat, however, Sam agreed to join the union's defensive umbrella. This while remaining, you guessed it, an independent state overseeing its own domestic affairs.
Trade between his and the other states also proved important. Which brings me to my other point. The commerce clause was intended to protect fairness between the states. Not dictate how states and their residents handle internal business. Such social progressive aggression is definitely an unconstitutional overreach of federal powers.
The 16th and 17th amendments cemented federal predominance. Corruption has since blossomed under these perverted social progressive traps.
This could be true and may well be . . . I think that it's a simpler matter, however. Writing checks on an overdrawn account is indefensible. The fact that it was made into law with a distortion of the legislative process that was possible because of a backlash from the disastrous Bush years is a textbook example of political opportunism and questionable ethics.
