QUESTION:
“Where in the Constitution does it Authorize Congress
to Order Americans to buy Health Insurance?”
ANSWER(s):
“Are you serious? Are you serious?”
“Under several clauses, the good and welfare clause
and a couple others. All the scholars, the constitutional scholars that I know
-- I’m chairman of the Judiciary committee, as you know -- they all say that
there’s nothing unconstitutional in this bill and if there were, I would have
tried to correct it if I thought there were.”
“We have plenty of authority. Are you saying there is
no authority? Why would you say there is no authority? I mean, there’s no
question there’s authority, nobody questions that. Where do we have the
authority to set speed limits on an interstate highway? The federal government
does that on federal highways.”
