Finally – A Dem Senator admits there’s no constitutional provision justifying healthcare mandate.

by Bruce Hausknecht

This time it’s Sen. Akaka (D – HI). Again, CNSNews.com must consider this ongoing line of inquiry akin to shooting fish in a barrel. Bless his compassionate heart, Akaka says that Congress can make you purchase health insurance because they’re just trying to “help citizens in our country to live a good life…”

If that’s all the constitutional justification that Congress needs to do anything, we’re all doomed. Doomed.

Hint to Dems: When all else fails, use the Commerce Clause like Congress always does when it doesn’t know what else to use. That doesn’t apply, either, but it’s better than admitting you don’t know or, what’s worse, admitting that you have no constitutional authority to do what you’re doing.
