Comments on: Vander Plaats would invoke 10th amendment, if health care bill passes http://okhenderson.com/2010/03/18/vander-plaats-would-invoke-10th-amendment-if-health-care-bill-passes/ Semi-official Blog of Radio Iowa Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:23:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Cheri http://okhenderson.com/2010/03/18/vander-plaats-would-invoke-10th-amendment-if-health-care-bill-passes/#comment-1639 Cheri Wed, 24 Mar 2010 23:56:39 +0000 http://okhenderson.com/?p=2828#comment-1639 The State of WA, AG Rob McKenna, just filed suit for our state against the unconstitutional aspects of the health care reform bill. I am glad that he did and I, along with over 55% of citizens in Western WA alone, support McKenna and stand behind his decision to protect the rights of the people he works for. The Federal Govt. has no right to "mandate" or force Americans to buy health care plans or anything else in this country. Enough is enough damn it. We are fed up and will defend our constitutional rights to the end. NO to health care. It is unconstitutional and Americans do not want it until it is a plan that is founded on solid constitutional grounds.

This guy has no comprehension of the way our government works. Congress is charged with providing for the general welfare and with regulating interstate commerce. The later clause is interpreted quite broadly, and there is no way healthcare in an entire state escapes being defined as "interstate commerce." The Tenth Amendment plays no role here. Any pre-law student just out of high school would be able to explain that to Mr VDP. Instead he tries to stir up the uneducated among the teabaggers (all of them?) by using words that don't mean what he or they think they mean. What a clown.
