Yes, it's time for Congress to slaughter the Constitution, again. The Dems now want to "Deem" a bill into law with the Slaughter measure. But what does the Constitution say on the matter?
Article One, section 7 states "Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a Law, be presented to the President of the United States....It further states "But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively."
We can no more deem ourselves through the air, from one supposed or deemed transporter to anohter, than Congress can deem a bill into passage. One is a flight of fantasy encompassed in science fiction on T.V.; the other is an illegal and uncostitutional act from the space cadets in Congress.
Mark Levine and others are doing the right thing, by challenging the implemtation of this fraud by the promise of a lawsuit about the constitutionality of an obvious criminal act by Congress. But these challenges have to be filed now! Where are the other challenges to the constituionality of the entire Nationalization of Healthcare and the enslavement of the American people?
For starters, the Bill is a violation of the Ninth Amendment, which states "The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
It also violates the Tenth Amendment, which states "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."
These rights and powers are innumerable and include the right of, and personal power to have control over our boddies and "choose" the type of healthcare we want in our lives. These natural rights and powers also include our decision not to have any healthcare insurance or interference in our healthcare of any kind by the Nationaliztion of America. The Federal government can go to Hell. Deem that up.
