      Hey Glennie old boy, if they pass health care without a public option, which I hope doesn't happen, you can take your idea of it being unconstitutional, and make a jerk of your self in the court system, just like you do every day you open your mouth.

      This is a man who would rather tens of thousands of people continue to die every year than liberals accomplish anything. He doesn't even have any idea what they want to accomplish, he just knows that he hates it. I seriously hope there's a hell for garbage like this.

      OK, let's compare --

      Obama: constitutional law professor for 12 years at the U. of Chicago

      Beck: radio shock jock and HS graduate

      Hm -- now, which of those two should I believe is more qualified to say what is unconstitutional . . .

        The Bush Administration practically wiped its butt with the Constitution, and Troglodytes like Glenn Beck called anyone who questioned it a traitor.

        Now that the President is trying to do something that will actually help people, these dooshbags are suddenly "concerned" about the government exceeding its Constitutional Parameters.

      I say kill the senate bill, go back to congress and go for 51 votes. No more compromising with those who refuse to compromise.

      Not that I expect any of you to see this because of the fair and balance of this website, but have any of you acturally read the constitution? The govt can't force you to purchace anything to live and if they do get the public option that is only suported by people that want someone else to pay for them, than the gove will be able to regulate behavoiur via taxes because of the "cost" to the healcare system.

      Wow, Glennie says it is legal to tax Americans and provide for the General Welfare! How, imagine. When can we have that happen? People will just have to make do with national health care. Wow! What a shame.

      GOOD QUESTION - Why are they fighting so hard to pass something called reform even if it reforms nothing? I HAVE NO IDEA!

      A filibuster is also unconstitutional because there is no mention of it or anything like it in the constitution. So I guess beck would have no problem if the senate removed it from the rules. I imagine then the dems would be going against the bible or reagan or some other crap his feeble brain can think of[/i]

      No it is not unconstitutional. The government federal and state level can step in stop a business for bad practices which the insurance industry has been getting away with since 1945.

      The McCarran–Ferguson Act is a United States federal law that exempts insurance companies from the federal anti-trust legislation that applies to most businesses, and allows state law to regulate the business of insurance without federal government interference. The McCarran–Ferguson Act was passed by Congress in 1945 after the Supreme Court ruled in United States v. South-Eastern Underwriters Association that the federal government could regulate insurance companies under the authority of the Commerce Clause in the U.S. Constitution.

      So the government an the states can regulate the insurance industry, they know that and that is why the insurance industry lobbies their A off to corrupt the politicans in Washington. We need to weed those sellouts out and put in people who lookout for the people as a whole!


      DO NOT BELIEVE BECKY PEOPLE!
